Safety
Fire Drills: Fire and Safety Drills are conducted at least monthly. Students are required to leave the building and walk to the back of the building and assemble at the dumpster area. In the case of inclement weather, students will assemble at the Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce covered entrance.
Lockdown/Intruder Drills: Announcements and practice of safety protocols are given during orientation, testing, and/or tutoring sessions. All doors will be locked and students will assemble in the back storage room and/or kitchen area.
Reunification: When necessary, reunification of students will be held at the Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce.
Weather Events: Students are rarely present for weather events; however, when anyone is present and a weather event occurs, all students and personnel will assemble in the office building hallway.
Health Precautions
DISINFECTING PROTOCOLS
- Enhanced disinfecting occurring at BCVS
- Students may bring a clear water bottle to school each day
- Multiple opportunities planned throughout the day for handwashing and use of hand sanitizer
- Disinfect desks after students attend and leave
- Common areas will be sanitized throughout the day- door knobs, handrails, etc.
- Doors should be kept open as much as possible to reduce touching of doorknobs and air circulation

ADEQUATE SUPPLIES
Healthy hygiene behaviors are supported by providing adequate supplies, including soap, hand sanitizer (unscented), paper towels, disinfectant wipes, face coverings (as feasible) and no-touch/foot pedal trash cans.
SIGNS AND MESSAGES
Signs are posted in highly visible locations (e.g., school entrances, restrooms, common areas) that promote everyday protective measures and describe how to stop the spread of germs (such as by proper handwashing and properly wearing a face covering). Regular announcements and communication will take place on reducing the spread of COVID -19.
