Dear Trojan Family:
During the past four weeks we have had zero positive COVID-19 cases in our building. Our total positive COVID-19 count for the school year is eight. We currently have zero students in quarantine due to close-contact exposure, and two students that are symptomatic. We will continue to be transparent each week concerning COVID-19 cases within our community.
Based on low positivity rate and low number of students displaying symptoms, Bishop Chatard will continue operating with a masks-optional policy.
We will continue to strongly recommend mask wearing for unvaccinated students and staff, vulnerable individuals who may be at increased risk of illness, and anyone who feels more comfortable wearing a mask. Wearing a mask is a choice; however, if Bishop Chatard begins to see a high positivity rate, and student quarantine numbers increase, we could resume wearing masks in order to continue with an in-person learning and extracurricular experience.
Bishop Chatard will continue to report positive cases of COVID-19 to the Local Health Department, State Health Department, and to the Office of Catholic Schools. We have been doing this since the beginning of the year and will continue to do so.
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,
