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.
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.

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:
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
