COVID-19 Update
We are grateful for the continued support of our families during these difficult times. We are pleased to report that as of today, we have not had any COVID cases that originated from our school campus. However, we received reports of two additional students (for a total of four) who have tested positive relating to off-campus activities.
We must be proactive together as we navigate this year to keep our school healthy and safe. Looking out for one another and for the greater good of our school communities, we will continue to notify the local health department and conduct contact tracing for every case. As a reminder, the incubation period (the period between exposure to an infection and the appearance of first symptoms) is 2 to 14 days, but typically a person develops symptoms within 5 days. The following are the current school protocols:
- You will be notified directly by the school and/or the appropriate government authority if your child has been in close contact with the students who have tested positive. Close contact is defined as being within 6 feet for 15 minutes or more.
- Students must quarantine from campus for 14 days as directed by school nurse under the advisement of the health department.
-
Students who are exposed to someone who has been exposed do not need to quarantine unless that person with whom they have had close contact tests positive. This includes siblings.
Full remote learning is allowed for the students who have elected for the full semester of remote learning.
Temporary remote learning is for students who have been notified that they are under school-mandated quarantine.
Should you have any additional questions, please contact Nurse Kathie Holder. She can be reached by calling the school at 704-543-1127 or emailing her at kaholder@charlottecatholic.com.
Should you learn that your student has tested positive for COVID-19, please call the school immediately at 704-543-1127. If after hours or on the weekend, please email Mr. Telford at ktelford@charlottecatholic.com.
As always, please monitor your child for symptoms of illness including fever, chills, new cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, new loss of taste and/or smell, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. If you or a family member displays any symptoms, please contact your physician or call the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services (“NCDHHS”) coronavirus hotline at 1-866-462-3821. Please keep your child home when they are sick.
