Distance Learning 1/10/22 Through 1/14/22
Aloha
Thank you for your flexibility in dealing with the current surge in positive COVID-19 infections. The response to our decision to go online has been generally positive and we appreciate your understanding. Our school administration met this morning and we have decided to continue online learning for next week. This decision is based on the following:
1) Our school population infection rate of 24% (that’s students and adults) of
reported positive cases this week,
2) The expected and continued rise in the infection rates overall in our state.
Next week’s schedule online will be A-B-C-B-C.
From the Athletic Department:
Our ILH game schedules for basketball, soccer, wrestling, and paddling will begin next week Monday, 1/10. Each coach has the most recent schedule for their sport. It is also posted on the ILH website. Practices for our sports teams will continue as planned.
Due to the high number of positive Covid cases, the league has decided to have NO SPECTATORS at on-campus games at this time (games that are played at city and county sites fall under their guidelines). If the numbers start to lower as the weeks progress, we will revisit this policy and revise it if necessary.
All of our Damien home basketball games will be live-streamed on our Damien Athletics YouTube page. For away games, the home-site will live-steam through their website.
Thank you for your patience with all of the changes. Our main goal is to provide the safest opportunity for our student-athletes to participate in ILH sports.
The campus will be closed for the week and no visitors will be allowed. The Welcome Center personnel will be in and only with a previously scheduled appointment will you be able to enter through the main office (temperature check and mask required).
Lastly, our goal is to get back to face-to-face teaching and learning and reopen campus. However, there are many factors that point to a risky situation if we brought students back to campus at this time. We appreciate your support in this decision and we will continue to communicate our plans in a timely manner so that you can plan accordingly for your own family needs.
