SACC Aides Needed!
The district has approved a $250 signing bonus to any aide who is hired for this year and works for at least 90 days.
Masks policies:
Masks will be optional this fall. The wearing of masks will be determined by each family and individual. The Macomb County Health Department (MCHD) recommends that individuals, regardless of vaccination status, consider wearing a face-covering while indoors, especially in crowded settings. CVS strongly recommends that students wear a mask in school.
Ventilation:
CVS has up-to-date ventilation systems and filters that meet or exceed CDC recommendations for healthy airflow
Masks on School Buses:
The CDC requires masks on all public transportation, including school buses, regardless of vaccination status. All CVS students riding a school bus will be required to wear a mask.
COVID-19 Testing:
Not required.
COVID-19 Vaccines:
Not required. Based on Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) and CDC guidelines, individuals that are fully vaccinated and remain asymptomatic will not have to quarantine if they are determined to be a close contact. The MDHHS, the MCHD, and the CDC recommend that all eligible individuals get vaccinated against COVID-19.
COVID-19 Reporting
Chippewa Valley Schools will work with the MCHD on contact tracing and COVID-19 reporting. We will maintain a COVID-19 Case Report on our website and will provide building-level notification to staff and families.
Contact Tracing & Quarantines
CVS district nurses will work with the MCHD on contract tracing and will follow health department requirements for quarantines. Fully vaccinated students and staff who are asymptomatic will not be required to quarantine.
Hand Hygiene:
Hand washing and hand sanitizer will be used frequently throughout the day.
Screening for Symptoms
Parents are asked to check their child each morning before sending them to school. Students that are sick should stay home from school.
Visitors, Late Arrivals, Early Dismissals & Dropping Off of Materials
- Visitors will be limited at school. Only essential visitors will be allowed.
- PTO will be allowed in the building to do "PTO work."
- If a student arrives to school late, parents will bring their student to the front door, ring the buzzer, state the students' name(s), and the student(s) will be buzzed into the school. The parent will enter the vestibule and sign the student in and leave back out.
- We will have bins outside the main entrance. If you need to drop off a lunch or other items to your child, please label it with the child's name and teacher. The bins will be checked twice an hour, and items will be delivered to the student.
Cleaning & Disinfecting
Chippewa Valley Schools is committed to providing a clean and safe environment for our students, staff, and community. All student and staff areas will be cleaned and disinfected on a regular schedule.
CVVA
Students enrolled in the Chippewa Valley Virtual Academy (CVVA) will receive a district-issued laptop and be taught by highly qualified CVS educators online.
In-person learning for students
Last year students had the option of attending school in person or live-streaming their classes at home. With vaccination rates increasing, all students will now be required to attend school in person unless they are currently enrolled in the Chippewa Valley Virtual Academy (CVVA). Only students required to quarantine due to COVID-19 illness or exposure will be allowed to live-stream their classes. All other students must attend in person unless they are sick or have an excused absence.
