COMMUNICATION PROCESS IN THE EVENT OF POSITIVE CASES

In the event there is a positive case, affected individuals will be contacted directly by District and\or school site administrator(s). Individuals will receive notifications that may include self-isolation directions and other important information. Families of students who are not affected will not receive a notification letter and no action will be required. Principals will communicate new cases directly to their school communities. Please note that the Buena Park School District will only communicate and provide data for confirmed COVID-19 cases.

 

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO LIMIT THE SPREAD

It is going to take a concerted effort to keep our students and staff safe. In addition to health and safety measures taken on our campus, we encourage you to be proactive and to reinforce the importance of hand-washing, physical distancing and face coverings to limit the spread of the coronavirus. Also, if a member of your household tests positive for COVID-19 or is awaiting test results, please stay at home and notify your school immediately. If you have any symptoms associated with the coronavirus, make sure you stay home and get tested if necessary.
