Back to the building
We will return to school in person January 10, 2022.
We are required to have all students and staff members wear mask and practice CDC guidelines. Please visit our https:// www.dekalbschoolsga.org/covid-19-health-and-safety/ for the most current information. The key is to keep your child's teacher informed in order to keep our entire BVE family safe. If you experience a Covid-19 Exposure or Covid-19 Positive Case, please report it to your child's teacher as soon as possible.
All students who have chrome books, must be responsible for taking them back to school with their chargers. We utilize in person and digital resources in our classrooms daily.
MASKS REQUIRED
Please, please have your child exit the bus or car with a MASK everyday.
Quick tip for families:
First, make sure your child knows why masks are important. Go over the rules every morning before school.
How to Properly Wear a Face Mask:
Wash your hands before and after touching the mask.
Touch only the bands or ties when putting on and taking off your mask.
Make sure the mask fits to cover your nose, mouth and chin.
Make sure you can breathe and talk comfortably through your mask.
