* Disclaimer: This petition has been created and distributed by parents, not by the school. We hope to present the results to the school showing parent support.
The purpose of this petition is to gather support for students, teachers and staff at St. Louis School to re-evaluate the COVID-19 policies and consider making masks voluntary. In addition to masks, many parents are interested in returning to the cafeteria, switching classes, etc. Please sign this petition if you support this mission.
Allow parents to choose what is best for their child. Luckily, a whole year of data now exists, and re-evaluating the policies in place seems like the logical next step. Just as the situation in the community has evolved, so can the protocols.
Shelby County Health Directive 17 states that the school's governing boards and presidents "retain sole responsibility in making decisions on providing instruction to their students". Please, sign if you support a full review of all COVID-19 protocols.
St. Louis School should be commended for tireless efforts to remain open to best serve our precious children. God Bless America and SLS!
Note: Please know that no donations are being collected! This was not added by the petition authors, but rather the iPetitions.com website. I don't know how to turn it off.

I have spent this week drafting a comprehensive proposal for the administration based on the concerns outlined in this petition. It is my intention to ensure that the governing board reviews these requests for updated protocols with the seriousness they deserve.
March 5, 2021
The momentum behind this initiative has grown significantly over the past few days. This widespread engagement demonstrates a clear desire among parents to revisit the current school protocols.

St. louis has done a fantastic job. at some point we need to be on the leading edge with rational information of allowing more and more normalcy as regards to masks and changing classes.... also, i’m having an issue with whoever is taking donations from people with the petition... hopefully you choose to give the money to the school.. i don’t know anyone who is a paid lobbyist for parents or for SLS
Kids need to change classes and be together. The damage is irreversible. Please use common sense.
Yes to no masks!!
Praying that my grandchildren will be able to have more opportunities for movement!
St. Louis has handled this pandemic very well. I know our kiddos will be mask free soon. A non-emotional, rational application of mask usage is to be expected. Thank you St. Louis Admin. And teachers for keeping our kids in school!!!
Please discontinue this requirement! It is so devastating to think of these children wearing masks all day long.

My son has trouble enough paying attention in class even without the mask! Lack of oxygen to the brain cannot be good!!!
