Dear Charlotte Catholic Parents, Faculty and Staff,
I hope that you have had a joyful good week of Advent, and that your family is beginning preparations for Christmas and the celebration of the birth of Jesus. No matter what else is happening in the world, I am so grateful that we can celebrate our faith together as a Catholic community.
I am writing to remind you of our schedule for next week. As you know, we made the decision to move to the "B" model of learning - where students are learning synchronously - beginning Monday, November 30. This decision was made to be proactive and preventive in our efforts to try to control the spread of COVID-19 and limit the number of students affected by quarantine. We are pleased that there have been no new reported cases of COVID-19 among our students or staff this week.
Hybrid learning will continue Monday, December 7 where students with last names A-L will be in-person, at school and students with last names M-Z will learn remotely. Tuesday, December 8 is a day off from school as we observe the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception.
While we are operating during the hybrid model, CCHS athletics teams and extracurricular activities may continue.
The plan as of today is for all students to return to campus for in-person instruction on Wednesday, December 9.
We will continue to keep you informed if our plans need to change. We appreciate your trust in our proven risk mitigation strategies, and value your collaboration in ensuring that our students are acting responsibly outside of school.
As always, please monitor your child for symptoms of illness including fever, chills, new cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, new loss of taste and/or smell, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. If you or a family member displays any symptoms, please contact your physician or call the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services’ coronavirus hotline at 1-866-462-3821. Please keep your child home when they are sick.
Should you have any questions, please contact me at ktelford@charlottecatholic.com or head nurse Kathie Holder at kaholder@charlottecatholic.com.
Have a great weekend.
Prayerfully yours,
