COVID-19 Parent/Guardian Agreement

To protect our children and staff, I agree to keep my child at home if my child has:

Fever of 100.4° or above or chills

Cough

Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

Fatigue

Muscle or body aches

Headache

New loss of taste or smell

Sore throat

Congestion or runny nose

Nausea or vomiting

Diarrhea

If my child has any of these symptoms* of COVID-19, I will not send my child back to school until he/she has met the criteria outlined in the Chester County Health Department Guidance for COVID-19 Symptomatic Individuals and has met the school's policy for when a child can return to school.

*Note: Symptom list subject to change.

If someone in my household is diagnosed with COVID-19 or my child is exposed to COVID-19, I will not sent my child to school until he/she has met the criteria outlined in the Chester County Health Department Guidance for Individuals with Close Contact.

I agree to send my child to school wearing a mask and the adult who drops off and picks up my child will wear a mask at arrival and dismissal at school.

I understand that any child who displays other visible symptoms of illness will not be accepted into school that day, or if symptoms develop while at school, will be sent home from school and expected to be picked up immediately. This includes but is not limited to coughing, sneezing, runny nose, rash, and lethargy. A doctor's note is required for children with ongoing allergy symptoms to be admitted to school.

Health and Safety Plan Acknowledgement

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented disruption to our community for over a year now. For the protection of our school community, we require all families to follow our COVID-19 Health and Safety Plan. We expect the pandemic will continue for some time to come, as no one knows when it will subside.

I acknowledge that I have read, understand, and agree to follow The Bucket School's Health and Safety Plan. I understand that the school's Health and Safety Plan may change based on the latest guidance recommended by the Chester County Health Department, the CDC, the PA Department of Education, and/or the PA Department of Human Services.

Tuition Policy During School Closure Acknowledgement

We will do our best to provide on ground, in person instruction during the 2021-2022 school year. However, circumstances may force us to change plans due to the pandemic in order to protect the health and safety of our staff and students. In the event of a mandated or voluntary school closure that disrupts on-ground, in person education, teachers will provide an alternate learning plan that may include at-home lessons and/or worksheet packets, or other accommodations. If we must implement one of these alternate learning plans, we will do our very best to provide as much notice as possible. Please understand that in light of the fixed nature of our costs, tuition and/or fees will not be refunded; however, if a single mandated or voluntary closure extends more than 20 consecutive, scheduled school days, we will reevaluate our tuition policy and alternate learning plan based on the most up-to-date information on the pandemic.

I acknowledge that have read, understand, and agree to the Tuition Policy During School Closure.

COVID-19 Liability Waiver

By signing below, you acknowledge the risks of sending your child(ren) to our school with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic. While we use our best efforts to protect our community-and appreciate your cooperation in that regard-due to the nature of the pandemic, you acknowledge that The Bucket School of First Presbyterian Church of West Chester will not have any liability in the event that your child(ren) or your family contract COVID-19 as a result of an exposure at our School.
