but also to the interests of others. Philippians 2:4
Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Richmond are providing in-person instruction five days a week during the 2020-21 school year. The CHS Risk Mitigation Plan outlines steps to work together and keep our school community healthy and safe. The safety protocols outlined in the CHS plan are based on Phase Guidance for Virginia Schools first released by Governor Northam in June 2020 (including subsequent updates), recommendations from the Virginia Department of Health, and guidance from the Diocese of Richmond.
We continue to monitor guidance and evaluate developments regarding COVID-19, recognizing the mutable situation we face together as a community. School employees are eligible to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in the 1B phase in Virginia.
CHS Remote Learner Option
In response to survey feedback from families, CHS offers a remote learning option to accommodate our families during the 2020-21 school year. Remote Learning is offered as a permanent option (semester-long) and a short term option for students who are experiencing any symptoms of illness or must isolate or quarantine due to COVID-19. The remote learning option provides synchronous access to the regular school day instruction and assignments via live stream and Google Meet.
