Dear F.D. Reese Christian Academy Staff and Parents,

At this time, with the collaborative efforts between the Howard County Health Department, other Howard County school districts and governmental agencies, we believe closing schools as a preventive measure from Monday, March 16th through Sunday, April 5th is in the best interest for the safety of our students and staff. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 public health threat with assistance from the Howard County Health Department, the Indiana State Department of Health, the Indiana Department of Education, other Howard County governmental agencies and Howard County school districts. We will reassess prior to April 5th if additional measures need to be taken. We recognize that while this situation is not ideal for students, staff or parents, it is important for the health and safety of our overall community.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the dedicated people at the Howard County Health Department, the other Howard County school districts, and to our staff at F. D. Reese Christian Academy who have been working tirelessly to prepare and plan for our students and families. Thank you for your continued support of FDRCA. There are many questions surrounding the COVID-19 virus and its impact on the Academy. We will continue to share information and update you as regularly as possible through our school messenger system and school website.

How will FDRCA address student learning while school is closed?

FDRCA will close all school buildings and facilities beginning Monday, March 16, 2020. This was based on guidance from the Howard County Health Department and in collaboration with other Howard County school districts and governmental agencies. The students will receive various supplemental learning material, projects, and access to learning websites. Teachers will be in constant contact with their students.
