The purpose for which The Christian Academy is organized will be to establish, maintain, promote and operate a Christian School, which will be charitable, religious and educational.

Parents,

Please know that are goal here at The Christian Academy is to keep your children and our teachers as safe as possible during this pandemic.  With the safety of everyone we have devised the following plan to try and keep everyone as safe as possible during the operational hours of the school day.

 RE-Entry Plans for 2020-2021 School Year

1. All water fountains will be shut down—students will need to bring water bottles.
2. Students and teachers entering the building will have their temperature checked. You are encouraged to check your child’s temperature before sending them to school.
3. Students and teachers are to be temperature free for 24 hours before returning to school. Parents, please monitor this and keep your child home for the 24-hour period.
4. If your child is not feeling well, please keep them home.
5. Should someone in your family test positive for Covid-19 please follow the guidelines from your health care provider or the Scott County Health Department.
6. When children enter the building they will wash their hands and go directly to their classroom.
7. Social distancing will be followed as much as possible.
