Mrs. Bullen's COVID-19 Policies:
1. Bristol Academy teachers are trying to keep everyone as safe as possible, but it is impossible to remove all risk. Therefore, students assume risk by entering the classroom.
2. If you have been in close contact with a person with COVID-19, stay home. This includes family members, friends, and co-workers. See this link for a definition of “Close Contact” and instructions on how long to Quarantine.
3. If you have ANY of the COVID-19 symptoms, stay home. These symptoms are listed here and include fever/chills, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle/body aches, headache, sudden loss of taste/smell, sore throat, congestion/runny nose, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea.
4. Mask-wearing and social distancing are encouraged.
ALSO:
Classroom set-up, activities, and exercises will adhere to social distancing guidelines (6ft apart minimum).
Paper or Cloth masks will be worn in class until everyone is seated. Once everyone is seated 6ft away from students with whom they are not normally in contact, students may remove their masks.
If a student does miss a class, Mrs. Bullen will work with students/parents to make sure the student is caught up.
NOTE: Mrs. Bullen will also follow these guidelines. If the teacher or anyone in her household contracts COVID-19 or is otherwise required to quarantine, we will either have an in-person substitute teacher or class will be moved online and continue via Skype or Zoom.
