Dear Trojan Family:
During the past week we had no positive cases in our building. Our total positive count through the first month of school is three. We currently have no active positive cases, one close contact quarantine (contact traced outside of school), and four students that are symptomatic. We will continue to be transparent each week concerning COVID-19 cases within our community.
As of the writing of this email we are still operating 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. Wearing a mask is still a choice; however, if Bishop Chatard begins to see a high positivity rate, and student quarantine numbers increase, the decision to wear masks might become necessary in order to continue with an in-person learning and extracurricular experience.
Please note that Bishop Chatard is required to report positive cases of COVID-19 to the Local Health Department, State Health Department, and to the Office of Catholic Schools. We have been doing this since the beginning of the year and will continue to do so.
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,
