Front Office

Parents should not send a student to school or to an extra-curricular or athletic activity who has the following:  
• Has a fever of at least 100 degrees. Should be fever-free for at least 24 hours without the use of any medication 24 hours before returning to school. 
• Has thrown up or had three or more watery or loose diarrhea stools any time in the last 24 hours. 
• Has an upper respiratory infection with uncontrolled nasal drainage, coughing or sneezing that may infect others. 
• Was sent home from school the previous day or same day with a fever. 
• Has a significant rash that has not been diagnosed by a physician. 
• Is complaining of substantial pain for a significant duration until a physician has examined the student. 
• Is taking prescription-strength medication, which impairs their ability to stay awake/alert and safely navigate stairs and hallways. 

If a student becomes ill during school hours, the nurse or office staff will call the parents. Health Services will not release any student to a passenger service (Taxi, Uber, etc.) for transportation. If the school is unable to reach the parents, names listed on the emergency medical authorization form will be contacted. Ill or injured students cannot be kept in the nursing clinic for more than one hour.
 


Announcement

Following are the plans in place specifically for Upper School Grades 7/8 (same as 9-12 except start time)

Communication of a delay, closing, or an unplanned early release due to weather:  If school is officially delayed or closed or students will be released early for weather, the school messaging system will be used to contact families using the phone number(s) you provided when opting into the system. Local news and radio stations will also be notified and communicating that information for Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy.

  • Notifications of Change to Contact Information:  Email Registrar@chca-oh.org to update contact phone numbers used by our school messaging system.
  • For a delay:  Students will attend all classes with shortened bells starting at 9:55 a.m. Students may not arrive prior to 9:30 a.m.
