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.
