Cluster Zone Initiative – Saint Mark in YELLOW ZONE

Dear Families:

In recent days, you have heard many news stories from Mayor de Blasio and Governor Cuomo about the Cluster Zone Initiative within New York City.

After using the COVID Zone Locator sent by Governor Cuomo, Saint Mark Catholic Academy’s address is identified as being inside the Yellow Zone.

As you know we have worked diligently to re-open Saint Mark Catholic Academy and the first month of the academic year has been a great success. We have submitted our re-opening plans to the New York State Department of Health and the New York State Department of Education. We practice the Core 4: Stay at Home if Sick, Social Distancing, Mask Wearing, and Healthy Hygiene. We continue our Daily Health Questionnaire and temperature checks. We have done everything correctly and feel disrespected by the actions of Mayor and Governor.

We will continue to contact the Mayor and Governor to get answers to our many questions.

We also ask you to contact:

Mayor Bill de Blasio (212) 788-3000 Governor Andrew Cuomo (518) 474-8390 Assembly Member Steven Cymbrowitz (718) 743-4078 State Senator Andrew Gounardes (718) 238-6044 Councilman Chaim Deutsch (718) 368-9176

Since this is an evolving situation, we will continue to provide you with regular updates as we receive information.

Should you have any questions, please contact us at (718) 332-9304 or mwilson@smsonthebay.com.

Sincerely,

Mr. Mark Wilson Principal
