Next Steps for CSF Families: COVID-19

Dear CSF Parents/Guardians,
​
Thank you for your attention to our recent communication about COVID-19 and the intentional steps we
are taking to provide the most reasonable response as this continues to unfold. Our CSF Administrative
team has met regularly throughout this past week to assess incoming information and align our practice
with the information from the experts.

While Catholic Schools of Fairbanks does not have any confirmed cases of COVID-19 at this time, we are taking preventative measure by extending our Spring Break through March 20, 2020 and beginning
Distance Delivery of academic content on March 23, 2020. The school building will remain closed
through at least March 27th. We we will keep you informed as we continue to monitor the situation and
best practices related to COVID-19.This decision was made through thoughtful discernment of
administration and the timeframe aligns with the 14 day incubation period of the virus.

Academics:
CSF is preparing for distance delivery of content and we are confident in our students’ ability to continue
learning with the tools they will be provided and the support of our dedicated faculty. Specific information and expectations for students related to distance learning will be forthcoming from our administrators.

CSF Sports & Clubs:
All CSF athletic practices, CSF clubs (ICS and MHS), and meetings/gatherings are suspended until
further notice.
General Reminders:

• Please check email regularly and refer to our school website and CSF social media platforms for ongoing updates.
• Remind students of the importance of social distancing. The CDC reminds us to minimize social gatherings and practice good hygiene and social distancing (remain more than 3 feet from one another).
• Remember, as we navigate these challenging waters together, Christ is present in our work and in our community. The Catholic Schools of Fairbanks has proven to be a strong and committed FAMILY and our school team is prepared to manage this situation as it unfolds.

We realize the tremendous burden this process and timeline places on our families. I ask that we, as a
school community, proceed with faith in God and one another.

Sincere Blessings,

Amanda B. Angaiak
Director of Schools
