COVID-19 Flowchart

We are continually reviewing our protocols and looking for opportunities to increase communication and understanding on how to react to this pandemic. We have adopted this flowchart from a nearby district which clearly communicates how to respond with COVID-19 symptoms, close contacts, etc. We appreciate everyone’s effort to keep our community safe. Please continue to be diligent with regards to health and safety. Everyone has a role to play in our school community. This virus does not follow any set of rules and does not discriminate. As we get closer to the holiday season, please continue to take responsibility for your own health and safety as well as the Bristol Aggie school community. If you are feeling sick, please stay home. In addition please avoid any social gatherings which could spread the disease among our school. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our school nurse, Ms. Anderson (EAnderson@bcahs.com).
