District News
Masks Have Been Distributed
Students and staff members have received two 2-layer masks. These National Facewear masks are from the same distributor we purchased masks from in the spring.

The masks have adjustable straps and a nose bridge. They also include an inside pocket for an optional filter. More information about the masks can be found on National Facewear's website.

The recommendation is to wash the mask at high temperatures, with no fabric softener, and hang dry. There is no danger of putting the masks in the dryer, but they may shrink.

Health & Safety
Before & After School Masking Indoors
The Bexley City School District now requires masks in all school buildings, not just during but also before and after school. This went into effect on Monday, September 20. The requirement aligns with the City of Bexley, which mandated masks in most indoor public spaces effective this past Friday, September 10. 

Pursuant to the terms of the Board of Education’s Universal Mask Resolution, the Superintendent has determined that masks will be required by visitors to our school buildings both before and after regular school-day hours, for all indoor events, programs, meetings, and other activities, with the exception of student-athletes actively participating in their event.
Additional COVID Test Kits
BCSD received 1000 additional COVID-19 rapid testing kits to distribute to our families and those who have been identified as having had close contact with COVID-19.

These tests are recommended for individuals suspected of having COVID-19 within the first seven days of symptom onset and discouraged for asymptomatic individuals and those who haven’t had a known contact with a probable or confirmed case. This test should not be used within 90 days of a prior positive COVID test. 

These are self-collected nasal swab tests that require access to both a smartphone and computer with internet access and a camera.

Contact your school nurse for a kit during school hours. Kits are not available during weekends or when school is not in session.
Our Covid-19 Dashboard will appear on https://www.bexleyschools.org/COVID19.aspx and be updated every Thursday.
