• “At this time, we recommend postponing or canceling mass gatherings and large community events where large numbers of people are within arm’s length of one another.”

• As recommended, school will remain open based on the following guideline from the county health department, “The reason we are not recommending school closures at this time is because children have not been shown to be a high-risk group for serious illness from this virus. As much as possible, children should be allowed to carry on with their education and normal activities.”
• All CIF-sanctioned sporting events remain as scheduled. Spectators are strongly discouraged from attending and are expected to stay arm’s length from one another while attending any sporting event.
• In an abundance of caution, we are postponing all VCS-sponsored after-school activities, other than sporting events, including tomorrow night’s Father-Daughter Dance, Winter Sports Banquet, Spring Band Concert, and Quest Ball until further notice. This decision was made in accordance with the guidelines indicating that students are at a low risk as compared to adults who pose a higher risk.
• Anyone with close or immediate contact with a student or employee traveling to any area designated by the CDC as Level 2 or higher, the student or employee is required to self-quarantine and notify the school immediately. Additionally, the exposed student or employee must refrain from coming on campus or attending school activities for at least 14 days. VCS will make necessary accommodations for any student to continue to learn from home to keep up on classwork.
• All school-related international travel will be canceled until the end of the school year.
• VCS employees are highly discouraged from traveling internationally or to communities with known community spread cases of COVID-19. Additionally, airports are an obvious place to spread the virus so please limit your air travel.
