COVID-19 Update

Policy Change: Face Masks 5/18/21

After having had the opportunity to review the feedback from parents and staff, the Heritage Christian Schools Board of Directors has approved the policy, which was sent to you on Friday.
Beginning Wednesday, May 19, 2021, Heritage Christian Schools will no longer require mask wearing in our facilities.  Wearing masks is encouraged.  Please note the following precautions will remain in place:
  • Students and staff will continue to distance from each other, trying to avoid being within six feet of others for more than 15 minutes whenever possible (unless working in an elementary cohort).
  • Students and staff will continue to practice proper hygiene such as frequent hand washing and using hand sanitizer. Facility sanitation procedures will remain in place.
  • If an unmasked student comes in close contact with someone at school who tests positive for COVID-19, they will be required to quarantine as recommended by the Waukesha County Health Department.
  • All other COVID-19 protocols will remain in place unless otherwise communicated by the administration. 
  • Masks continue to be required on buses per federal regulations.
  • For WIAA-sponsored athletics, when traveling, the host school expectations must be followed along with WIAA expectations for the end-of-season tournament series. 

The administration will continue to monitor active cases and quarantines within our school population and will make adjustments as necessary to this policy.

Our hope is as COVID-19 cases remain stagnant and low to further scale back some mitigation measures. While this decision departs from the recommendations of the Waukesha County Health Department, the administration will continue to receive and consider guidelines put forth by the Department.

We want to thank everyone who participated in giving feedback.  While the majority of responders were in favor of this proposal (78% yes, 22% no), excellent points were made by many on both sides.  At Heritage, we respect our differences and, in humility, seek to honor each other and learn from one another.  May God unite us in the things that matter most, while we are gracious to those who differ with us in lesser things.
