You could call it "CSI: Zoom." Students in Forensics class processed a crime scene with teachers acting out their instructions. Dr. Hutches set up mock crime scenes on campus that would be explored via video call. Using video calls, groups of students directed teachers and staff to move around the scene, guiding them through collecting evidence that they’ll use through the rest of the semester. |

Some of you may have seen the recent news that ten schools in Contra Costa County received a waiver to open. High schools are not eligible to apply for waivers, thus not allowed to open for educational purposes under current county restrictions. We have received approval for and have begun athletics cohorts and will soon begin other specialized cohorts. As soon as the county restrictions are lifted, Carondelet can begin reopening for classes. Until we can do so, we ask that you continue to follow social distancing protocols for your family's safety and well-being. Thank you for your patience as we all maneuver the state and county safety guidelines.

CHS Prescreen App for Accessing Campus
|
|
With athletics and Company cohorts underway, and additional enrichment cohorts on the horizon, we are introducing the CHS Prescreen App to increase accountability and safety on our main campus and at the CAC.
CHS Prescreen was automatically pushed to all school-issued iPads on August 31. Additionally, students may download the app on an iPhone with iOS 13 or higher. We are currently in development with Android and hope to have the app available on Google Play within the next few weeks.
Prior to every on-campus visit, students must complete the CHS Prescreen questionnaire and be prepared to show their green CLEAR screen to their adult cohort leader or coach upon arrival. A red screen will prompt students to follow-up with a school staff member and/or a healthcare professional.
