Enclosed you will find your students Q1 Mid-Term Progress Report along with important information regarding in-person learning that will resume on Monday, November 9, 2020.
For the safety and security of our faculty, staff, and students and to support student learning, we have developed a hybrid model of in-person and online instruction to focus on five core subjects paired with a period of structured teacher support to assist with the days of online learning.
The bell schedule will consist of a seven period day (5 class periods, lunch, and a “student success” session which we are calling an “Ironman Way Period.” Each class period will be 55 minutes long with the exception of period 1 which will have five additional minutes for announcements and for conducting school business.
For example, any student with the last name beginning with the letter A-D will be in school on Monday from 7:55am-2:15pm and will be home with remote learning the rest of the week.
Bell Schedule: 7:55am-2:15pm –

First Day of in person learning: Wednesday, November 11 – Students with last names beginning with L-R
First Day of in person learning: Thursday, November 12: Students with last names beginning with S-Z
Fridays: Any student assigned for an additional day of in-person instruction will attend school on Friday. This is noted on their schedule.
Online Only Option: We recognize there are high risk situations where students and/or families would be best served through the option of full online distance learning. We are offering this option through the end of the First Semester on January 14th. Any student who participates in the full online distance learning would not participate in any extra-curricular activities or be present on campus at any time for the first semester. To enroll in this option, please contact Sr. Erin at 216-641-2036.
Uniforms: Students will be required to be in school uniform per the Student Handbook on the days they are present in school.
Face Coverings: All faculty, staff and students will be required to wear face coverings when on campus. This also applies to parents/visitors who enter the building.
Entrance to the school building: All students MUST enter through the ATRIUM DOORS located at 67th and Baxter Ave. This is the main entrance to allow for proper screening and safety protocols.
Temperature Screenings: All faculty, staff and students will comply with a temperature screening upon arrival to school. Any community member with a temperature of 100.0F or higher will be sent to the isolation room until transportation can be arranged.
Increased Sanitation Measures: To increase sanitation, we have purchased an electrostatic cleaning machine that will be used in conjunction with traditional cleaning measures. Additionally, hand sanitation stations will be in each classroom, the cafeteria, and main entry points of the school building. All high touch points (i.e. desks/tables, door knobs, handrails) throughout the school building will be disinfected multiple times per day.
Social Distancing Measures: In order to maintain proper social distancing and allow for additional space between students, each classroom will have limited furniture to allow for desks to be spaced appropriately.
Breakfast / Lunch: Free breakfast and lunch will be served in the cafeteria. Social distancing and sanitation measures will be enforced in this space.
Transportation: Cleveland Central Catholic will continue to offer transportation to and from school for those who sign up for this service. If you have signed up to ride the CCC bus, you can verify your route information with Mr. Albert at 216-441-4700 X263
Locker Usage: Students will be assigned a school locker to place book bags and personal belongings throughout the school day. Students will be spaced every 4th locker to provide for social distancing. Students are not permitted to carry book bags with them throughout the school day.
Field Trips: There will be no field trips for the first semester.
End of the Day: All students must depart from campus by 3:00pm every day to allow for sanitation protocols to be completed in preparation for the next school day.
Student Support: Students will have access to online support with teachers for the three/four days they are learning remotely from home. We know these are challenging times. Any student or family who is in need of social, emotional or crisis support should contact Sr. Erin at 216-641-2036 for additional support and assistance.
