Covid-19 Guidance

September 8, 2022 by WCA Office Staff

Board Approved 2022-23 Covid-19 Guidance

With the recent CDC updates regarding Covid-19 Guidance, the objective behind Westlake’s guidance is to keep students in school, to keep students and teachers safe, and to protect the quality of the instructional process in accordance with local guidelines. Furthermore, we want to ensure the school can focus on its Mission of providing Christian families a Christ-centered education that disciples our students to honor Jesus Christ in thought, word and deed. As such, this update will serve to nullify any previous publication of Westlake’s Covid-19 Protocols.

As of the start of school year 2022-2023, the following guidance will be in place for Westlake Christian Academy:

  1. Masks will be optional, at all times, for all people, within the school and during school functions.
  2. Handwashing: We will continue to encourage regular handwashing.
  3. Ventilation: At the teachers’ discretion, to increase outside airflow, we will keep classroom windows open as much as possible.
  4. Remote Learning: Remote learning will no longer be available, unless necessitated by school-wide quarantine/closure in accordance with local guidelines.
  5. When your child is sick:
    1. Keep your child home if they are exhibiting any Covid-like symptoms, or any other illness.
      1. In the event of a symptomatic child, it is recommended, but not mandated, that a Covid test is given.
    2. The sick child may return to school once symptoms have improved and they are fever free for 24 hours*. We ask that you continue to take extra caution. When in doubt, stay home an extra day.
      1. *In the case of a positive Covid test, the child should stay home for 5 days.
  6. Visitors:
    1. We will allow visitors into the school.
    2. Parents will be permitted to attend classroom parties, as invited by the teacher.
  7. Athletics:
    1. To take place without restrictions.
    2. Masks were deemed optional for all sporting events as of February 28th, 2022.

**All guidelines are subject to change depending on ISBE, IDPH and local guidelines

Families should report any absence using the WCA app or website absence form.
