We are sharing an important update on behalf of Region of Waterloo Public Health (“Public Health”) regarding a confirmed case of measles at St. Mary’s Catholic Secondary School. The case has resulted in exposures at the school on May 8, 2025.
Out of an abundance of caution and to allow time for Public Health to complete necessary vaccination verification and help prevent further spread of the virus, St. Mary’s will be closed on Friday, May 16.
Next Steps for Students and Families
Public Health is contacting individuals who may have been exposed and will advise them of the required next steps. We are working closely with Public Health to ensure infection prevention measures are in place and that the school community is supported.

Continuing Learning During the Closure
While the school is closed, students are encouraged to stay engaged by reviewing recent lessons, catching up on assigned work, or exploring learning activities that reinforce key concepts. Educators will continue to support student learning as needed during this time.
We appreciate your understanding and partnership as we work together to keep our school community safe.
