2022-23 COVID-19 Policy & Protocols

Guiding Principles
The health and safety of our Viewpoint Community is and will always be our first priority. As we adapt policy and protocols to changing conditions beyond our control, we are resilient in the face of challenges and grounded in clearly established school and community values.

COVID-19 VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS

AGES 12 and UP: COVID-19 vaccine is required for all students ages 12 and up.
BELOW AGE 12: COVID-19 vaccine is strongly recommended, but not required for students between the ages of 5-11.
- If your student turns 12 in the coming school year, you will be contacted by our health office to obtain their vaccination certificate.
- If the State of California decides to require the COVID-19 vaccine with any age group, we will align with this state requirement.
VIEWPOINT EMPLOYEES: We will continue to require that all faculty and staff be vaccinated.
EXEMPTION PROCESS: Questions regarding eligibility to apply for exemption should be directed to our Director of Campus Safety.

TESTING

MASKING

ON CAMPUS SAFETY MEASURES

Please embrace the following principles of community health:
- Stay home and keep your children home if you feel ill - even if it’s not COVID-19, please don’t come to campus and infect others.
- Monitor for symptoms of COVID-19 and consult a medical professional if needed.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water or use hand sanitizer, and ensure your children are doing the same.
- Practice mask etiquette when indoors or in a vehicle with non-family members

QUARANTINING

COVID-19 EXPOSURE NOTIFICATION

Viewpoint will notify all persons who have a school-associated exposure to a person with COVID-19 while they were infectious at school. You will receive a notification letter and/or a personal phone call from one of our certified contact tracers if you are identified as having had close contact to the potentially infectious person at school. You will receive specific quarantine and potential testing guidance based on your vaccination status. All Viewpoint School guidelines are consistent with local health authority and CDC recommendations.

Please be aware that the above protocols are subject to change, depending on current conditions and public health guidance.
The health and safety of our Viewpoint Community is and will always be our first priority. As we adapt policy and protocols to changing conditions beyond our control, we are resilient in the face of challenges and grounded in clearly established school and community values.

Following the Science of Public Health
We follow the science of public health and our protocols are constantly adjusted to align with the recommendations of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LACDPH), and the advice of our medical experts.
