BTSD COVID-19 INFORMATION

The District is coordinating closely with public health officials and following CDC, state, and local health department guidance in order to assure the health and safety of our community. Cleaning and disinfecting of any exposed areas will be conducted as needed. Further communication, pursuant to local health department guidance, will only be issued if there is a need to close schools or suspend in-school instruction.

We understand the level of concern regarding COVID-19. We encourage parents, students, and staff to continue following the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention promoted safeguards, such as:

• Staying home when you are sick

• Washing hands often with soap for at least 20 seconds

• Covering coughs and sneezes and properly disposing of tissues

• Limiting close contact with people who are sick and not sharing food, drinks and utensils

• Practicing social distancing (staying at least 6 feet apart)

• Wearing a face covering

• Continuing to monitor your health for symptoms

As always, we appreciate our community’s support and cooperation. You can assist us by remaining vigilant but sensible in your approach to dealing with this health concern. If you have any questions or wish to discuss any health concerns, please contact your doctor, school nurse or your local health department.
