Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Families may either choose to have instruction delivered via (a) Daily Attendance at School or (b) Remote Learning from Home (in a predominantly synchronous format).  Based on your own personal beliefs regarding a preferred educational modality, COVID-19, safety recommendations, and our implementation of safety protocols, you may have concerns related to one or both options; therefore, it is important that you select the option that best meets your student’s needs.  The deadline for submitting was on Friday, July 17, 2020. 

The Counseling Department will be posting a handful of resources and updates for students on the Counseling Services Canvas page. Resources and updates include; time management videos, stress & anxiety management videos, COVID-19 updates from the CDC, AP, SAT and ACT updates from the College Board, and more! Counselors are also staying in touch with students via Instagram and Tik Tok posts that encourage student engagement, as well as texting using the Remind 101 app.

Temporary loaner laptops are available for students and are to be used for academic-related activities while the student’s laptop is repaired or replaced. The program shall not be used for the permanent replacement of a device.  Upon the request for a loaner laptop, an electronic signature form will be sent out to the student, and then the parent. This form must be electronically signed by both the student and parent before the loaner laptop is checked out. Students may check out loaner equipment twice per academic year and loaner equipment must be returned within 14 days after receiving the loaner equipment.

Should your student need a loaner laptop, please reach out to Mr. Rutherford.

Notify the attendance office (949-398-6563) if your student is sick during online instruction.  We realize that while work may be able to be completed at home when sick, we would like to partner with students, providing them time to rest and recover. In addition, many absences may be considered excused, including those for illness, medical/dental appointments, bereavement, court appearances, pre-approved college visits. When emailing the attendance office, include the following:

• Parent/Guardian name and relationship to the student
• Student's name and grade

• Parent or guardian’s phone number

• Reason

For planned absences, please submit an email (from parent). Emails should be directed to the attendance office. If and when the request is approved by the student’s counselor, the student will be asked to contact their teachers prior to the absences.

• Travelers should consider getting tested for the virus 3-5 days after the trip ends. 
• Even if a test returns a negative result, the recommendation is to quarantine for a full 7 days after travel. 
• Without a test, however, a 10-day quarantine is recommended.

RETURN TO ATHLETICS - SEPTEMBER 8

The Athletic Department personnel and coaches are excited to announce participation in athletic activities. Sports teams will begin organized team practices on September 8. Athletes are invited to practice with their teammates and continue to train in the Strength & Conditioning center. Crean Lutheran’s Health and Safety protocols will be followed. As a reminder, students must have completed the Assumption of Risk and Waiver form in order to participate in sports on campus.  The Assumption of Risk and Waiver form was emailed last Friday to the primary parent email address through SignNow via forms@creanlutheran.org. 

It is important for our entire community to remain confident and united in Christ. The protocols in place ensure everyone’s safety as we strive to be good neighbors. As Orange County continues to recover, Crean Lutheran High School will continue to observe health and safety measures to protect our student-athletes and coaches.
