We have been getting questions about the mask policy for this school year, especially with the recent changes and mandates. HCS will have a mask mandate for all students in grades 3rd – 12th grade while indoors. Parents of children in all grades Pk-2 can choose to send their child with a mask or not. The only exceptions to the mask mandate are medical waivers by a doctor or exemptions for religious reasons. HCS encourages parents to make the best decision for their children as concerning masks. With the rise in cases, we do encourage our students to wear masks as we begin the school year. We made it through last year and I am confident we will make it through this school year..

Att: Parents and students,
In less than one week, we will be welcoming our students back for the start of the 2021-2022 school year. As our staff is finalizing last minute preparations for the new school year, I want to give everyone an update on COVID-19 prevention strategies we will be be implementing this school year. We will be sending out another document later with all the safety measures being implemented. We want to provide our students and staff a safe and nurturing learning environment at all times.
Yesterday, the Governor came out with a state proclamation on mask mandates that included K-12 schools requiring students to wear a mask while indoors. The Governor put the emergency proclamation in place for one month. With the Governor’s new mask mandates, Houma Christian School will implement a mask mandate similar to the one last year. After one month of the mask mandate in place, we will carefully look at the data to determine if any modifications or cancelations would be appropriate. As a religious organization, the Governor’s order does give us some flexibility to adjust as we deem necessary. At this time, we feel that it is best to begin the first four weeks of school with a cautious approach. Students in grades 3rd – 12th grade will have to wear a face mask while indoors. Students will be given needed breaks from wearing face coverings in the following situations:
Outside
Eating lunch or snacks
Athletes participating in sports
Periodically while in static groups in class
Also, students may be exempt from wearing a mask with a valid medical exemption from a medical doctor. For more information on medical exemptions, parents should contact the school nurse. While the school mandate covers grades 3rd – 12th, parents of students in all other grades may choose for their child to wear face coverings. We trust and believe parents will make the best decision for the health and well-being of their child.
We will continue to rely on support from our parents to help mitigate the harmful effects of COVID-19. We ask you to please continue to monitor your child before sending them to school and do not send them if they are exhibiting any of the symptoms such as fever, coughing, chills, etc. This is our third year impacted by Covid-19. And while we start out this school year with some uncertainties, we are confident with what we learned already to successfully mitigate the spread of the virus. Through 2021-2022, we will continue to analyze the data to make whatever changes are necessary to maintain in-person learning. Blessings
