COVID PROCEDURE UPDATE:
As school gets back into full swing (yay!), we want to keep our families informed of updates as they arise.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS A POSITIVE CASE OF COVID AT BVCS AND MY STUDENT NEEDS TO QUARANTINE?
If there is a quarantine, BVCS will communicate to families that are directly impacted. Although there are so many scenarios, the current general quarantine guidelines are:
Quarantine can end after Day 10 from the date of last exposure without testing; OR
Quarantine can end after Day 7 if a diagnostic specimen is collected after Day 5 from the date of last exposure and tests negative.
BVCS will offer distance zoom learning in the event of a classroom quarantine.
We have updated this information in our Opening Plan found here.
