List of 5 items.

• Does SHP (Seton Hall Prep) still have their COVID-19 task force?

  The Health Task Force Team under the guidance of Headmaster Michael G. Gallo will continue to meet throughout the school year to discuss all health-related issues.

• Has SHP retained their medical (COVID) doctor to be part of the new task force?

  Dr. Michael Kelly, DO, the consultant to the West Orange Department of Health as well as many area high schools, will continue to serve as the medical consultant to SHP for the 2025-2026 school year.

• My son has symptoms that are consistent with COVID or the flu, should he test?

  Testing is no longer required, but it's a personal choice. While we respect individual decisions, please note that home testing is not mandatory at this time.

• My son tested positive for COVID. How long should he stay home?

  • He should stay home until he’s feeling better and has been fever-free for at least 24 hours without medication.

• Is the school doing any precautionary cleaning like they did during the COVID year?

  
  

  • Yes.  SHP has never stopped with daily cleaning of classrooms, bathrooms, and offices with recommended products.
  • We were one of the first schools in NJ to purchase the i-wave technology air purifying systems (installed during the Covid pandemic) in classrooms, offices and common areas.  The Kelly Athletic Complex (KAC) Murray Field house is also covered with this system.
