Health and Safety Precautions

Knowing the importance of in-person learning and the daily social interactions for our students – our focus in BVSD is on doing everything possible to keep kids in in-person learning five days a week.

See the Health Services website for detailed information on protocols and guidelines.

Illness Protocols

Parents/Guardians should follow How Sick is Too Sick - CDPHE’s Illness Policy for Students and Staff in School and Child Care settings. 

  • Students may return to school or child care as long as symptom(s) have been resolved for 24 hours unless the symptoms are caused by an illness that requires them to stay home longer

The best way to prevent the spread of infection is by staying home when sick and through good hand washing.

Positive COVID, Flu or RSV Tests 

An individual who tests positive for COVID, Flu or RSV should stay home until:

  1. They have had no fever for at least 24 hours — without the use of fever-reducing medicines,  AND 

  2. Symptoms are improving

After returning to activities, individuals should take added precautions over the next 5 days.
