Welcome Back to Bel Aire!
Bi-Weekly Principal Newsletter: 2021-2022 School Year
Dear Families,
Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year--it's going to be a great one!
The first day of school is on Thursday, August 19th and instruction will take place in person. Log in to your Alma portal after 4:30 pm on the day before school to see class placement.
We couldn't be happier to bring students back to campus, and we will have multiple layers of protection in place to ensure student and staff safety. Our safety protocols follow the county Public Health guidelines and are not limited to the following:
- Students and staff will wear masks indoors and outdoors
- Stringent cleaning protocols in classrooms and other student areas
- Air quality assessments and optimization strategies
- Daily health self-assessment for staff and students. Those with symptoms will remain at home.
- Training for proper mask-wearing
- Covid testing and quarantine protocols
- Visitors to campus will be limited, vaccination required.

I'm excited to partner with you on the Bel Aire team!
Sincerely,
Principal John DiCosmo
