Coronavirus Health Protocol

Refer to the Fall 2020 Health Information webpage for details about BASD's health practices. 

Highlights:

• ABSENCES. Please don’t send students with symptoms to school and avoid people who are showing symptoms. Students must remain home for at least 10 days since first symptoms (see below) began AND be fever-free for 3 days without using fever-reducing medication AND improvement of symptoms.
• SYMPTOMS.  Stay home if ill with any ONE of these symptoms: COUGH (new or worsening), TEMPERATURE (100 degrees or higher/chills), DIARRHEA or VOMITING, new LOSS of TASTE/SMELL. Stay home if ill with any TWO of these symptoms: Headache, Muscle or Body Aches, Nausea, Sore Throat, Runny Nose/Congestion, and Unusual Fatigue.
• COVID TEST RESULTS: If tested for ANY reason, stay home until the test results come back. A negative test allows the individual to return to school/work. A positive test means the individual needs to isolate.
• COVID POSITIVE: Notify the Director of Health Services Jill Dreger. Be prepared to share close contacts. Individuals testing positive for COVID must isolate for 10 days since the symptoms began. Flier: Next steps after COVID-19 diagnosis
• CLOSE CONTACTS: Individuals identified as a close contact of someone who tested positive for COVID need to quarantine for 14 days. If the individual starts showing symptoms while in quarantine, it is recommended that the individual get a COVID test. If it is determined that a significant number of students and staff will need to quarantine, the district may shift to virtual learning for classes. Flier: Next steps for Close Contacts
• NON-CLOSE CONTACTS: Individuals who live WITH close contacts who are quarantined can continue to participate in activities (school, work, activities).

This Welcome Health Letter shares information about ensuring your student is healthy for school, how to call in absences, health room procedures, and more BUT the absence protocol was updated with new Department of Health guidelines that came out after school started. Thank you for helping the district provide a healthy environment in our schools.
