April 15, 2021 COVID UPDATE

The academic calendar for 2021-2022 still reflects a COVID 19-impacted schedule. The calendar for each new academic year is approved by the Campion Board of Trustees each preceding February. At the time of the 2021 February board meeting, certain restrictions were still in place and the calendar needed to reflect the caution taken at that time.
 
As we get closer to the 2021-2022, we are hopeful that some Campion Academy events will be able to return to pre-COVID 19 traditions. Should such changes become a possibility, we will communicate any such changes as soon as possible. 

Please note that this does not apply to the Thanksgiving/Christmas break scheduled for November 23, 2021 - January 3, 2022. Because the families of our students are making their holiday plans months in advance, this schedule will remain in effect as is for the 2021-2022 academic year. Campion will review this schedule option with the families of our students before deciding whether or not to continue with this schedule in future years.

February 8, 2021 COVID UPDATE
​
We are pleased to report that we have been approved to bring students back to campus on Monday, February 8. This will be a travel day for students and there will be no classes on that day.

In order to minimize the possibility of another shutdown, we will be requiring all students to take a COVID-19 test upon arrival to campus. The Larimer County Health Department will be on campus on Monday to conduct the testing and it will be free for students. Further information will be sent out this week on the time frame of the test and transportation schedules, but students will need to plan to arrive on campus between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Monday. The administration team has further developed plans for multiple scenarios, so that if we do have a student test positive again, we will not have to send the rest of the student body home.

January 19, 2021 COVID UPDATE

Campion Academy has had to move to remote learning for a period of at least two weeks due to a residence hall student testing positive for COVID-19 on Friday, January 15. 

The administration will be further monitoring the situation and is seeking out best protocols to bring students back to campus as soon as safely possible. Principal Don Reeder is working closely with the Thompson Valley School District Safety coordinator to follow county and Rocky Mountain Conference guidelines for returning to in-person learning.

More information will be posted here as soon as it is available.  ​




We are eagerly anticipating starting our new school year with students back on campus on August 9. As we seek to open responsibly, we have put together a plan to keep the health of our students and staff a priority. Please carefully review the full plan in the linked document. For residence hall students, updated move-in procedures will be sent out by the deans.

Some of the basic principles we will follow to reduce exposure to COVID-19 include: 
  • Increased sanitization in all areas
  • Emphasis on frequent hand washing and use of hand sanitizer 
  • Temperature checks and health screenings before attending classes
  • Use of face masks throughout campus, except for residence hall rooms
  • Physical distancing protocols followed as much as possible
  • Classes available on Zoom for students on sick list

​We recognize that some of these changes may feel uncomfortable at first and will take some getting used to, but they are proven methods to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and will allow us to keep our campus open to provide the quality education you expect from Campion Academy. We thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding. 

Most importantly of all, we ask you to pray for our campus, that despite regulations, Christ will be uplifted, and our students will grow their faith in our loving Saviour. 

Sincerely, 

Donavan Reeder
Principal, Campion Academy
