Dear Nouvel Catholic Central Community,
As we near the end of our first week of in-person instruction, I want to thank our students, parents, staff, and faculty for the individual and collective effort that has made this week possible.  In a special way, I want to acknowledge our teaching and maintenance staff who have taken on many new tasks and responsibilities beyond their job description. 

Our ability to provide in-person instruction is only possible through the partnership that exists between our families and the school.  As we move into week two and beyond of in-person instruction, it is essential that we all remain vigilant and committed to the policies and procedures that are in place to protect our community.  By continuing to work together, we can reduce the likelihood of disruptions to in-person learning.

As partners in the education of your child, we ask all parents to:

1. Follow all guidance from the health department (please review attached documents)
2. Make appropriate, respectful, and safe decisions related to sending your child to school (If you have any concerns or questions, please contact us before sending your child to school)
3. Communicate with the school in the event of any suspected close contact, quarantine order, pending test results, and/or confirmed positive case of COVID-19   
4. Complete the daily health screening with fidelity  
5. Engage in appropriate social distancing and hygiene practices outside of school

1. Provide the best possible in-person learning experience 
2. Support students that may prefer to or need to learn virtually, to the best of our ability 
3. Consult with the health department to ensure we continue to implement best practices
4. Communicate with potentially impacted families in the event of any known close contact or COVID-19 positive case within the school
5. Adhere to existing cleaning and social distancing protocols in place for the school day and update protocols as necessary  

Your support of these measures is greatly appreciated.  We remain committed to providing the safest possible learning and working environment.  If at any time we feel a member of our community is not equally committed to the measures and protocols in place, we will take appropriate action to protect our students, families, staff, and faculty. 
I look forward to beginning our second week of in-person instruction on Monday.  

Respectfully,

Cormac Lynn
