CPS Roadmap to Reopening

APPENDIX C - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What should I do if I do not feel comfortable letting my child return to campus?
If, for any reason, you are not ready to let your child attend class on campus, please contact the
Academic Directors to discuss Model 3 Connected Comets. This option allows any family to
transition to distance learning at any time.
How will grades be managed in each of the scenarios?
Students will be assessed using a variety of methods, whether they are learning on campus or
from home. For students learning completely at home, the nature of the graded assignments may
be different, depending on the grade level, subject area, and learning targets.
What should I do if my child is not being challenged during distance learning?
Parents are encouraged to first contact their homeroom teacher if they do not feel their child is
adequately challenged during distance learning. If additional assistance is needed, parents
and/or teachers should then contact the Academic Directors to discuss tailored solutions for your
child.
What happens if my child-or anyone in my family-arrives on campus without a mask?
All individuals on our campus are required to wear a mask 2020-21 academic year until notified
otherwise. CPS will provide one fabric masks for each employee and all students. CPS will also
have disposable masks available.
Will students participate in field trips, assemblies, annual traditions and sports?
Field trips and annual traditions and all activities outside of school are temporarily suspended. In
the future these will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine which activities are safe
and appropriate based on the current government regulations. For athletic events and sports, we
will follow the guidance set by the PRHSAA and LAMEPI.
What will happen if a student or teacher tests positive for COVID-19?
If a student or any member of the staff tests positive for COVID-19 during the school year, the
school will implement the CDC guidelines. (See protocols for Illness on Campus – page 18).
What will happen if my student(s) needs to quarantine during the school year?
The synchronous distance learning will be made available to students who are required to stay
home due to a positive test result for COVID-19 or the 14-day quarantine protocol for exposure.
What will happen if a teacher needs to quarantine during the school year?
Teachers, if asymptomatic or quarantined due to exposure, will support their classrooms via
synchronous virtual instruction with assistance, if needed. If the teacher is ill, a substitute teacher
will be assigned.
In case the school is closed, what will happen with any fees (lunch, bus, athletics, activities
and tuition fees) that have been paid in advance?
CPS will continue to provide a top-class learning experience for all of its students, regardless of
the model used (face-to-face, hybrid or distant) and our teachers and staff will continue to work
around the clock so that our student’s learning will not be adversely impacted. Therefore, we are
not planning to change our current tuition fees. However, changes in the levels of usage for bus,
lunch, and activities fees will be adjusted accordingly.
