The Bishop Carroll administration would like to inform parents and guardians that 2 additional individuals associated with the school has tested positive for COVID-19. In addition, we have approximately 20 other individuals who are under quarantine due to potential exposure to a positive case. Due to privacy requirements, we cannot release the name of the individual or details that may identify this individual.
Bishop Carroll will remain open during this time. However, due to the recent uptick in cases in our region and the upcoming holidays where some individuals are still choosing to travel, we will operate under a Hybrid Schedule starting on December 1st thru December 10th. Students with last names that start with the letter A-L will be in Group A and last names M-Z will be in Group B. Bishop Carroll will follow our Regular Bell Schedule during the Hybrid Schedule and students who are remote are required to attend every class for synchronous learning.

Bishop Carroll continues to utilize the PA Department of Health recommendations and our Phased Reopening Health and Safety Plan, in order to reduce viral transmissions and keep our children and school personnel healthy and safe. Parents and family members can assist this effort by promoting healthy behaviors and following these practices:
- Stay home from school or work if sick, even if symptoms are mild.
- Wear a face covering in areas where physical distancing is difficult to maintain.
- Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue (or sleeve), and then throw the tissue in the trash. Immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol.
- Avoid touching the eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Clean and disinfect surfaces that are often touched.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Take care of your health overall. Stay current on your vaccinations, including the flu vaccine, eat well, and exercise to help your body stay resilient.
Thank you for your support of Catholic education,
Stephen B. Cotchen, M Ed.
