GVA DC: 2021-22 Learning Plan: In-person for All

At GVA-DC we are committed to providing world-class K-5 education in a safe, in-person environment that promotes children’s health and well–being.

 

Following are revisions to our COVID-related policies based on the most recent recommendations from Douglas County School District and Tri-County Health.

 

 

Face coverings are not required for any student or staff member. However, masks may be worn by those who feel more comfortable doing so.

 

Face coverings will not be required in any educational space or activity with the exception of field trips requiring the use of buses. Face coverings must be worn by all staff and students (regardless of vaccination status) on buses in alignment with a federal CDC mandate which is currently still in place.

 

COVID Immunizations are not mandatory for GVA-DC staff or students.  We will continue to provide information to the community about COVID immunization opportunities as a courtesy for those who wish to access the vaccine.

 

For 2021-22 GVA-DC will continue to ask that all students and staff complete a daily symptom check (including temperature check) at home before arriving to school. Symptoms of COVID-19 include:

 

Temperature monitoring of students and staff will continue to occur upon arrival using thermal imaging technology. Individuals with elevated readings will be temperature-checked by the nurse or designee. Students or staff with a temperature of 100.4 degrees or higher will be sent home.

 

 

When isolating at home, unvaccinated parents and siblings who are unable to distance themselves from the COVID positive individual must also isolate themselves. Contact your primary health provider for additional guidance. 

 

To ensure accurate results, COVID tests must be performed at a testing center, medical office or authorized pharmacy. If testing at home, only reliable at-home test results are accepted including the Binax At-Home rapid COVID-19 test.
