COVID REPORTING AND TEMPORARY ONLINE LEARNING

If a student fits one of the following categories, we ask the student (or parent) to fill out this form CVHS COVID Reporting Form and enroll in Temporary online learning (TOL).

If a student:
1) tested positive for COVID

2) has symptoms of COVID

3) is unvaccinated and has been in close contact with either a presumed or confirmed COVID-19 positive person. Close contact is defined as being within 6 feet of someone presumed or confirmed COVID-19 positive for a total of 15 minutes or more in a 24-hour period.
 
Once you complete the CVHS reporting form, someone from CVHS will contact you to gather information.
Once you complete the TOL form, you will receive notification of enrollment in TOL. Students who are well enough are expected to attend 4 hours of live instruction via TOL HUB classes each day. Students are responsible for missed assignments and classwork and should reach out to their teachers for class assignments and information as soon as they can and feel well enough to do so. 
 
FYI: Students enrolled in TOL will not be removed from CVHS or lose their magnet seat. Students will be added to TOL HUB class in addition to their CVHS HUB Classes.
