Notre Dame Academy developed the Pandas Return to Campus Plan to safely welcome our students back to campus for the 2020-21 school year.
We appreciate the cooperation of our entire NDA community throughout these challenging times. As we move forward, please know that our goal is to protect the health and wellbeing of our students, faculty and staff while continuing to meet our responsibility to educate our students. Thank you for partnering with us in your daughter’s Catholic education.
How to Protect Yourself and Others - COVID-19
If a person within your household is being tested for COVID-19, your daughter must stay home until results are received and confirmed.
In the event that someone in your household is being tested for COVID-19, please contact Mrs. McLeod in the front office 859-292-1821 mcleods@ndapandas.org or Tina Sizemore, RN., the school nurse, 859-292-1843 sizemoret@ndapandas.org.
Even if the person within your household is being tested for COVID-19 as a precautionary measure or you are seeking a definitive diagnosis from a physician, please keep your daughter home from school until results are received and confirmed.
There are specific directives from the Diocese of Covington regarding travel which parents received in the Panda Press Weekly. These directives along with our NDA travel advisory information are listed below and can also be found on page 13 of the Diocese of Covington Department of Catholic Schools COVID-19 Return to School Requirements.
FAMILY TRIPS:
According to the CDC, travel increases your chances of getting and spreading COVID-19. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019- ncov/travelers/travel-in-the-us.html
To help keep our school communities safe, all families are discouraged from traveling to another country or state for family trips.
Families must notify the school of trips that may increase student exposure to COVID-19.
As a result of traveling, students may be subject to a 10 or 14 day quarantine in order to return to school. Considerations for this include the location, trip activities and the mode of travel.
Prior to your trip, travel must be reported to our school nurse, Tina Sizemore, RN. (859.292.1843), Mrs. McLeod (859.292.1821) or Mrs. Grayson (859.292.1826).
International travel will require a mandatory 14 day quarantine.
Domestic travel that meets any of the following criteria will require a mandatory 10 day quarantine:
• Travel via public transportation such as plane or bus • Travel outside of the Tri-State area
A positive test result showing your daughter has antibodies from an infection that causes COVID-19 and/or a COVID-19 vaccination does not eliminate the need to quarantine after travel.
