Dear Trojan Family:
Here is a summary of our positive cases over the last four weeks. Our positive cases were:
01/29-02/04 3
02/05-/02/11 1
02/12-02/18 0
02/19-02/25 0
Bishop Chatard will continue as mask optional. This includes all after-school activities, sports events, or campus gatherings.
The Indiana Department of Health recently updated their guidelines, and Marion County has aligned their guidelines with the Indiana Department of Health. Their guidelines state:
- All positive cases should be isolated for a minimum of 5 days.
- Close contacts are no longer required to quarantine.
- A negative test or doctor's note is no longer required to return to school. As with other illnesses, students should not return to school unless they are fever free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication and their symptoms are improving.
- Masks are required via a federal mandate on buses; positive cases that return to school on day 6-10 must also wear a mask.
All students are afforded the opportunity, and expected to join virtually if out due to COVID-19. If a student is at home and coded as “COV”, a synchronous Google Meet is available to them. Absent students should make every effort to connect with teachers by email or via Google Meet during our daily Seminar period to talk about assignments and assessments.
If you have any questions concerning COVID-19 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,
