The COVID-19 pandemic has affected almost every aspect of our lives. As we prepare to welcome students back to school on July 30th, there are many changes in procedures in response to guidelines from health officials. The plan for re-opening Hendricks County public schools was approved by the Hendricks County Health Officer.

EDUCATION OPTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

While we believe that the most effective instruction for your child happens in a classroom with our highly qualified teachers, there will be an online option available for those who are not willing to attend in-person. A minimum number of students is required in each grade level to offer this option. (more below)<\/p>\n

OPTION #1:<\/strong> IN-PERSON INSTRUCTION + SAFETY MEASURES<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 2020-2021 school year at BCSC will begin on July 30th, as previously scheduled. (The Early Childhood Center opens Monday, August 3rd). BCSC will assume your student(s) will be returning as normal unless you <\/strong>complete the formal request <\/strong>for the <\/strong>A<\/strong>t <\/strong>H<\/strong>ome <\/strong>L<\/strong>earning option<\/strong> by July 10, 2020 (below)<\/strong> or withdraw fr<\/strong>o<\/strong>m BCSC.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All schools will follow the regular calendar and schedule. Additional safety measures will be in place to minimize exposure. Students and staff must have a mask and will be required to wear them in certain situations, like the bus, serving lines, and clinics. There will no longer be shared school supplies. Enhanced cleaning procedures will be in place to disinfect high-touch surfaces. Additional hand sanitizer stations are set and strategic procedures will be in place to require students to wash their hands. Classrooms will be reorganized to maximize available space. Schedules will be adjusted in some cases to keep a greater separation of students. Visitors in schools will be significantly limited. School clinics will have a separate space to treat symptomatic students. Students and staff who are sick must be fever free without the use of fever-reducing medication for at least 72 hours to return to school.<\/p>\n
