Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,
We continue to take our Covid protocols extremely serious. Given the recent uptick in positive cases and quarantines, we put together some reminders.
Here's what we do in school to keep children and staff safe:
- wear our masks properly in school and on the bus
- wash our hands often
- remain 3 ft away student-to-student
- remain 6 ft away from adult to adult or adult to student
- remain 6 feet apart when unmasked for lunch
- remain 6 feet apart during mask breaks and snack
- sit in assigned seats on the bus to assist in contact tracing
- bus drivers and staff remind students to wear their masks properly for the entire bus ride
Here's what you can do at home to support us:
- talk about safety and our protocols with your children
- discuss with your child about leaving their mask on properly on the bus
- remind your child that they must stay in their assigned seats at all times on the bus
- remind siblings to sit together on the bus regardless of their grade
- monitor events outside of the school day where students are unmasked and in close contact
- play with friends outside
- if you are quarantined or isolated, don't participate in other activities or visit friends
We would like so much to return to extracurricular activities, which our children love so much. With your help at home and our vigilance at school, we are hopeful that this can happen in the future.
Thank you for your support as health and safety are always at the forefront in Van Cort. Our efforts together help to make a better tomorrow. We are a team and we are Van Cort Strong!
