Dear Trojan Family:
During the past week we have not had any COVID-19 positive cases in our building. Two students are currently in quarantine due to contact tracing situations outside of school. Thank you for your patience and perseverance as we have started this year full, and in-person. We look forward to more success during the 2021-2022 school year.
Until further notice we will still operate with a masks-optional policy. Masks are strongly recommended for unvaccinated students and staff, vulnerable individuals who may be at increased risk of illness, and anyone who feels more comfortable wearing a mask. This policy could be modified based on updated guidance from the Marion County Public Health Department (MCPHD). Should anything change concerning mask mandates we will immediately update our staff, students and stakeholders.
It is important to remember that contact tracing is still required. Vaccinated students and staff members will not have to quarantine due to close-contact exposure. Additionally, individuals who have had a positive COVID-19 test within the previous 90 days (3 months) will not have to quarantine. Unvaccinated students run the risk of being quarantined if they are not wearing a mask.
If your child or any member of your household has a pending COVID-19 test, please email medical@bishopchatard.org. Please keep your child at home until contacted by a member of our COVID-19 committee.
If any additional questions remain, please feel free to contact me at (317-251-1451, ext. 1900) or via email at jhansen@bishopchatard.org.
Please continue to pray for the success of Bishop Chatard High School!
Sincerely,
