September 24, 2020 WEEKLY UPDATE Dear Parents and Guardians,
COVID-19 Dashboard Information MUHS maintains data regarding COVID-related cases impacting students and employees. Below is a dashboard providing updated information. The school will provide regular updates and information to parents.
Student and Family Assistance Program Marquette University High School is pleased to offer the Aurora Student and Family Assistance Program (SFAP), which provides valuable services to help address some of the challenges students and families experience. Funding is provided through The Learning Exchange and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. These services are free and confidential to all Marquette University High School students and their immediate families. Services range from mental health appointments, legal consultation, financial advisement, and access to local resources for elder care, real estate, child care, and tutoring services.
As mentioned in last week's newsletter, we have added a few All Virtual Wednesdays to the first semester calendar. We will use these days to conduct even deeper cleaning of our facility, and prepare us should we ever be required to transition everyone to all virtual learning. We will run the existing Wednesday schedule with the late start. Semester 1 Calendar

With the reduced number of students in the building each day, there is plenty of room in the two student lots. If students have any questions they can speak to a guard at the Security Desk.
