To keep you informed, we will be providing a Community Health Update as we have new information and data to share. Included in this update, you will find a snapshot of the overall health of the BVR community as well as links to resources you may need during this time.

*Details about the case: This employee first experienced symptoms on November 2; they had not been on campus or in close contact with any member of the Beaver community since October 28—four days prior to the onset of symptoms. According to CDC guidelines, in symptomatic cases the required contract tracing window is two days prior to symptom onset, so in this instance we did not need to contact trace.

REMINDER: We are tracking the number of total tests our community takes (positive and negative, required and voluntary), so please continue to share all instances of COVID testing with us.

In preparation for Thanksgiving and Winter Break, there will be two opportunities for Parent/Guardian Zoom Q&A drop-ins with Head of School Kim Samson:

Afternoon option at 12 p.m. and an evening option at 7 p.m.

Links to the Zooms will be sent out Monday in a communication that will also include more details about our plans to minimize risk during the holiday season.
