Beaver’s COVID-19 Protocols for 2023-2024 are aligned with the latest guidelines from the CDC, the Massachusetts Department of Health, DESE, and discussions with our consulting physician.

  • All faculty, staff, and students are required to share any positive COVID-19 cases with our Health Office.
  • If you feel sick or have any other symptoms that could indicate the flu or COVID-19, stay home.

PROCEDURES AFTER TESTING POSITIVE FOR COVID-19:

  • In accordance with the CDC, individuals who test positive for COVID-19 must isolate for 5 days (Day 0 is the first day of symptoms or the day of a positive test if an individual is asymptomatic).
  • Individuals can return to Beaver on Day 6 if they are symptom-free (including fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication). No test is required to return. Masks must be worn on days 6 to 10 OR individuals can test daily on days 6 through 10 and forego the mask if they test negative and email a picture of the negative test to the School Nurse, Talia Ossowski (tossowski@bcdschool.org).
  • Important note for athletes: Due to the nature of the virus and its potential lasting health effects, we strongly suggest that a student with a recent positive Covid-19 diagnosis undergo an assessment with their physician, if you wish to forgo medical clearance you must sign and return this waiver to our Athletic Trainer, Noël Riley.

VENTILATION AND FILTRATION

  • With the installation complete prior to the 2020 school year, Beaver has a state-of-the-art HVAC system. We will continue to follow best practices as they relate to monitoring and testing the system regularly to ensure the healthiest air quality throughout campus.
