Dear Trojan Family:
 
Here is a summary of our positive cases over the last five weeks. Our positive cases were:
 
12/18-12/24: 4
12/25-12/31: 9
01/01-01/07: 32
01/08-01/14: 24
01/15-01/21: 21
 
We will continue to require all students, staff and visitors, regardless of vaccination status, to wear a properly fitted mask while on the Bishop Chatard campus. The decision to wear masks will be reevaluated by our COVID-19 committee and communicated each Friday.  

**A few families were unaware that 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. Students coded as “COV” include those who are symptomatic, close contact quarantined, or have tested positive.  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.
 
With the spike in cases and the increased use of home kits to detect the presence of COVID-19 we want to remind you of a few things:

  • If a student, or a member of the student’s household is confirmed positive for COVID-19, found to be a close contact, or symptomatic, we ask that the family inform the school by immediately emailing medical@bishopchatard.org. A nurse or COVID-19 team member will be in touch to determine the next steps. 
  • If a home test kit shows a positive result please remember to take a picture of the positive test result and send it to medical@bishopchatard.org. 
  • In some cases BCHS might request a negative PCR test, and not a home test, for a student to return to classes. 
  • If a student is at home and coded as COVID, a synchronous Google Meet is required of them. Students coded as COVID include those who are symptomatic, close contact quarantined, or have tested positive. 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,
Joe Hansen, Principal
Bishop Chatard High School
