In-person Learning

IC Catholic Prep, first and foremost, will provide a safe learning environment so that our students can continue with the same rigorous and personalized education we have always offered. 

Whenever possible, using every inch of space in the school to ensure at least six feet of physical distancing
Small class sizes enable consistent contact tracing and mitigating spread of infection

Live Synchronous Classrooms (Remote Learning)

For students learning remotely, either in a hybrid model or exclusively through e-Learning, a number of improvements have been implemented since the 4th quarter of 2020:

  • Acquisition of conference cameras for all classrooms to allow for live synchronous, interactive instruction and student participation.

  • Establishing protocol for each student to benefit from a personal device at home and in the classroom.

  • Video conferencing will utilized in all classrooms to accommodate students who are learning remotely.

  • Students at home will be required to attend all classes during the school day in order to experience a rich learning environment focused on interaction with fellow students and their teachers.

  • The faculty has spent the summer preparing for all scenarios of a return to campus through robust professional development.

  • Establishing best practices for integrating technology into both school and remote classrooms.

  • Improvements to the school’s wireless network infrastructures to increase stability in school and at home.

Learning Resources and Counseling

Learning Resources and Counseling support is an integral part of an IC Catholic Prep students’ experience. Our counseling team is here to support our students and families academically, socially, and emotionally. To learn more, visit the Counseling webpage.

Grading

Per ISBE recommendations, IC Catholic Prep will return to traditional grading policies. In our evaluation of 4th Quarter 2020 e-Learning grading practices, ICCP has developed a common late-work policy and our academics departments strive to maintain a uniform approach to grading.

Physical Education

Physical education will focus on personal fitness and well-being. Physical education classes will take place outside, whenever possible to allow students to breathe fresh air while maintaining proper social distancing.

When outside and more than six feet apart, students do not need to wear masks.

Students who are remote learning will be provided an asynchronous learning experience to compliment the in-person instruction.
