Please help us keep students healthy and in school the rest of the year by:
- Staying home if sick; contact the attendance line with info & symptoms;
- If COVID testing, stay home and isolate until you receive and provide a copy of test results to the office;
- Consistently wear a mask, continue to social distance from others - and ask your students to do so as well.
At this time, we have 1 positive case among school students and/or staff. Any confirmed or exposed school members are quarantined. All interested staff have received the vaccine. We will continue to follow safety protocols including spacing, mask wearing, ventilation and cleaning as well as the 10 day quarantine. Please see links to additional COVID resources below:
- Updated Quarantine Guidance for Vaccinated Persons

Please pray: For the O'Donnell family, who lost Lilly (former BA classmate of our junior class) to a tragic car accident last weekend; Ella Banon, younger sister to BA 8th grader Barak Barner; and Mrs. Reeder as she recovers from surgery.
