CLCA RETURN TO SCHOOL SAFELY PLAN

The CLCA Board of Directors & Return to School Task Force have been reviewing and analyzing data from the Jefferson County Health Department to determine the best course of action for CLCA for the upcoming weeks. The CLCA BoD has adopted the following guidelines for instruction for the immediate future:

  • CLCA will host Face-2-Face instruction from 8/19 through 9/3. At which time, the CLCA Board of Directors will assess the rolling 14-day average positivity rate and cases in Jefferson County. If above 10%, they will assess with consideration to transition to virtual learning after Labor Day for 2 weeks.
  • If CLCA has 1 positive case, the related classroom will shut down for 3 days for cleaning and assessment, with the potential of transitioning to virtual learning for a 2 week period.
  • If CLCA has 3 positive cases at school within 1 week, CLCA will shut down and transition to virtual learning for a 2 week period.

Our current health circumstances are fluid and evolving as time passes. The CLCA leadership team has a deep respect for the spiritual, social, emotional, and physical well-being of every team member (staff, teacher, student, and parent), the current data, and health officials’ feedback. CLCA will inform all stakeholders if and when we experience a positive case of the virus within CLCA.

Update: 8/1/2020 – Return to School Safely Plan Revised to Reflect Face Covering Order

Update: 7/22/2020 – Return to School Safely Plan Announced

 

The CLCA Return to School Safely Task Force applied the following guiding principles to compose our Return to School Safety Plan.  

    1. FOUNDATION: School is fundamental to child and adolescent development and well-being and provides our students with spiritual and academic instruction, social and emotional skills, safety, physical/speech and mental health therapy, and opportunities for physical activity, among other benefits.
    2. SAFETY: Student, staff, and family safety is our top priority. Our plan reflects guidance from the Department of Public Instruction, the CDC,  as well as State and County Health Departments.
    3. FULL RETURN TO SCHOOL: The plan reflects a preference for full-day, face-to-face classroom learning and with a focus on creating conditions to safely reopen our academy.
    4. FLEXIBILITY: We understand that some families have unique factors that may necessitate alternative plans for the student body rather than attending face-to-face instruction.
    5. HEALTH SCREENINGS: We support health and wellness screenings of all students and staff in the school setting.
    6. INSTRUCTION: Plans will reflect a preference for full-day face-to-face classroom learning and focus on creating conditions to safely reopen. Instructional models will include blended and virtual options for students in the event that we cannot safely provide full-day face-to-face classroom learning for our students.  Our extended learning plan will initially focus on the core subjects of religion, math, and ELA.

Dear Parents and CLCA Community,

On behalf of the entire CLCA administration, CLCA Board of Directors, CLCA faculty, and staff, we want to thank you for your support, patience, and persistence during the COVID-19 pandemic. The start of the 2020-2021 academic year will almost certainly look different than the way it began last year, but we are committed to opening and providing face-to-face instruction as scheduled in August.  

Here is how we are preparing:  

  1. Forming a “Return to School Safely” task force to coordinate and implement safety and infection mitigation plans to ensure the safest learning environment 
  2. Evaluating additional health precautions by consulting with medical professionals and local officials 
  3. Focusing on quality face-to-face instruction, 5 days a week, during normal academic hours 
  4. Updating families on an as-needed basis with information regarding the virus as it pertains to our academy’s guidelines

Please know that the health and safety of our students and staff will be a top priority as we make our plans. We understand that each family has been affected by this situation in different ways. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you might have. The best way to get answers is to come to speak with us directly, so we can provide the information you need.  

We are truly thankful for our partnership with you and your family and we look forward to the day in August, when God-willing, we can all be together again on campus. May God’s love and power fill you with peace and comfort today, throughout the summer, and always.  

God’s Richest Blessings,

CLCA Administration
