Dear Parents,
Thank you for the overwhelming support through your kind words, thoughtful actions, and consistent prayers as we complete the third week of the school year. We are certainly reminded of God’s ongoing faithfulness in the midst of another year adjusting to COVID-19. It is a joy to see the energy and enthusiasm that enters the building each day as your children engage and grow together. As a CVCA Community, we choose to be thankful for God’s unmistakable provision.
As we walk through another year that is creating challenges for all of us, we plan to clearly communicate with you on a frequent basis. Here are a few reminders and updates as we prepare for week four together:
- We are in weekly contact with our trusted team of biblical-based medical professionals who analyze the region’s data and give us informed and trusted feedback.
- We are very aware of the rising COVID case numbers in Summit County (and surrounding counties) and we continue to monitor the data.
-
The CVCA COVID Dashboard will give you the most current picture of positive COVID cases in our building.
-
If your son or daughter has been deemed a direct close contact of a positive case in our school setting, you will be contacted by our CVCA Health Clinic; at which point you will work with our Clinic on the details of your quarantine.
- As we closely monitor the available data, we must all be ready for adjustments if they are deemed necessary in order to give us the greatest opportunity to continue in-person instruction.
- Our decision-making formula for any needed adjustments is focused primarily on the numbers in our building (e.g. number of staff and students absent, number of positive cases, evidence of transmission within the building).
Most importantly, please keep your student home when they are showing ANY symptoms. This is the paramount practice that will allow us to stay in-person with the fewest limitations for the longest period of time. Also, please continue to be mindful of healthy practices: check temperature, hand washing/sanitizing, social distancing when able, limiting physical touch, and wearing a mask when uncomfortable or unable to distance.
Lastly, our current plan is to continue to watch the numbers on campus and in the community. If our stated criteria above continues to increase, we have strategies to implement temporary measures that would attempt to slow building transmission and the related widespread quarantines to ensure that we can continue to offer a mission-focused, in-person experience for our students.
Sincerely,
The CVCA Administration
