Health & Safety in BESD

As the District plans for the beginning of the 2023-2024 school, it prioritizes the safety and well-being of all students and staff.  Please be aware that the district is expected to maintain a safe in-person return that is regularly updated.  BESD will continue to update the plan based upon guidance from health experts as well as the COVID transmission rates within the community.  At this time, face coverings are optional for students to start the 2023-24 school year while on campus.  Additionally, students will not be health screened upon arrival to school for symptoms.  However, we will need the support of all families to ensure that students are screened at home and remain at home if symptoms and/or illnesses is present.  Information about screening your child for symptoms is also included on this site.  We look forward to working with all BESD stakeholders in order to maintain safe and healthy environments at all of our schools.
