Dear ACA parents,

This letter is to inform that we have had exposure to COVID, and a positive test result from a staff member. This exposure goes back to 20 November. The following are the steps taken:

• Quarantining protocol has been implemented

• the school has been cleaned and sanitized

• the health department has been contacted to validate our plan

• Communication has been sent to all staff, faculty, church administration, and now parents and students.

• Protocol for returning to direct instruction on campus has been communicated and will be strictly followed.

DEPARTMENTS-PLANS FOR NOVEMBER 30 DECEMBER 4. Due to a lack of personnel:

1. Elementary students will continue on campus learning/distance learning as usual.

2. Next week, November 30-December 4, Middle school and high school students will only be receiving instruction through an online platform. Please watch for information to come from your child’s teachers concerning online access to the classes.

3. Please be mindful that the state of Florida and our auditors require us to be diligent where attendance is concerned. Your student must attend classes to be considered for attendance. The teachers will be sending an email shortly concerning zoom access. If your student will be experiencing difficulties accessing the zoom platform for classes, you must communicate that so we can let you know if there is an alternative.

4. The plan is to return to direct instruction on campus, Monday, December 7, 2020.

As we make our way through a crazy and chaotic pandemic, we appreciate your support in all we do to make sure we are keeping our staff, students, and the families we represent, healthy and safe. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at dora@aca.life. I will respond as quickly as I can. Please keep in mind the number of emails, phone calls, and messages I receive in these situations. Your patience is greatly appreciated!

-Mrs. Getford
