• CCS will not require a vaccine for anyone to attend school or enter the building.
• CCS will not require masks for anyone to attend school or enter the building. Masks are optional and may be worn if a student or family chooses to do so.
• To wear or not wear a mask is a personal choice that CCS will honor as long as there is not a mandate. But please be aware that the choice to not wear a mask comes with a higher risk of quarantine if a positive case is identified at the school and exposure is determined.
• If a mask mandate is issued, CCS will access the options and respond accordingly.
• Our desire is to be an environment where all can truly be part of this community, embraced through the love of Christ, regardless of outer appearance. This emphasis we have already established as a school culture, will align with this new aspect of school life quite fluidly for those who choose to daily wear masks.

• Parents and employees will neither send a student nor enter the campus themselves if they are exhibiting any of the symptoms listed here:
  o Fever of 100.4 or higher Chills
  o Cough Shortness of breath
  o Difficulty breathing Fatigue
  o Muscle or body aches Headache
  o New loss of taste or smell Sore throat
  o Congestion or runny nose. Nausea or vomiting

• In the event that your child is sick or displaying symptoms and needs to be absent from school, please call the designated campus office to request assignments and any books that may need from his/her classroom or locker. Once their items are available for pick-up, we will call you with instructions on how to pick these items up.
• If a student/staff presents any possible COVID-19 symptoms, the nurse will complete the assessment to determine if the individual must be sent home. The nurse and health aide will use guidelines provided by the Butler County Health Department to make the assessment.
• It is understood that false positive antigen tests may occur. In the event of a positive antigen test is disputed, an individual may get a PCR test within 48 hours of the collection of the antigen test. If that test is negative, then it will be determined that the original antigen test resulted in a false positive test.
• If a student/staff has a negative COVID-19 test, they can return to school once there is no fever without the use of fever-reducing medicines for 24 hours.
• In order for a student/staff who tested positive for COVID-19 to be allowed to return to campus they must:
  o Be at least 10 days since the individual first had symptoms.
  o Be at least 24 hours since the individual had a fever (without using fever-reducing medicine).
