Dear Charlotte Catholic Parents, Students, Faculty and Staff,
Thank you for your continued understanding and partnership as we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. We remain committed to safely providing the best possible learning environment for our students.
As of this writing, we have four active cases of COVID within our student population and four students quarantined because of exposure. We will begin to offer a Zoom option beginning Tuesday, September 7 so that these and any students may continue participating in classes while they are isolated or quarantined,
Please note that this option is ONLY for those students who have tested positive for COVID or are not able to attend school due to quarantine from CCHS COVID protocols. Students will still be marked absent.
All quarantine absences must be approved by the CCHS nurse, and 24 hours lead time is required before Zoom will be available. A list of eligible students will be sent to all CCHS teachers by 2 p.m. each day for the following day.
Students in quarantine who are learning virtually must be on time for each class, be seated at a desk or table, have camera on with their face showing, be in CCHS uniform and follow any other instructions from the teacher. Students not compliant will be turned off from the Zoom.
No tests or quizzes will be administered to students attending class virtually due to quarantine. These students must coordinate with each teacher to make up missed tests or quizzes in person upon their return to school.
Please read below for a few updates and clarifications on COVID-19 protocols:
If a student tests positive for COVID-19:
- Any student who tests positive for COVID 19 must quarantine at home for 10 days since onset of symptoms, whether or not he/she has been vaccinated.
If a student is exposed to COVID-19:
- Students who are not vaccinated must quarantine for 10 days, or quarantine for 7 days with negative COVID test on or after day 5. Students who choose this option may return to school on the 8th day after exposure.
- Students who are vaccinated (and show proof of vaccination) must wear a mask for 14 days since exposure, whether or not they have a mask exemption form on file. Testing for COVID is recommended at day five. If the test is negative, the student may choose to remove the mask. If the test is positive, the student must follow the protocol above.
Please report to our school nurse Kathie Holder if your student has tested positive for COVID-19 or been exposed to COVID-19 outside of school. We will notify you if your student has been exposed to a positive COVID case in school. You may reach Mrs. Holder at kaholder@charlottecatholic.com or 704-716-2424.
Prayerfully yours,
