We were notified Nov. 17th that one of our cafeteria staff was exposed to COVID. Our COVID team met and discussed the situation. We participated in a conference call with the Department of Health and also sought guidance from an epidemiologist.
Based on this information, we need to quarantine the majority of our cafeteria staff for two weeks. This situation will require the district to be virtual for all grades K-12 from Wednesday, November 18 through Tuesday, November 24. We will return to school in person on Wednesday, December 2, 2020.
Extra-curricular activities and parent/teacher conferences will still be able to take place.

As part of Pennsylvania's Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), Berlin Brothersvalley is required to post its ESSA Report Card.
Dear Berlin Brothersvalley Community,
In recent weeks, our nation has experienced heart wrenching and physically devastating violence. We want to acknowledge the toll that these events have taken on schools across the country. In the wake of these events, we want to reassure you that BBSD continues to provide a safe environment for our children to learn.
BBSD is vigilant in our efforts to ensure our schools are safe. We have a detailed emergency operations plan that lays out specific plans and responses related to prevention & mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. We conduct regular drills that provide practice to our students and staff on how to best respond to emergency situations. Also, we continue to work closely with law enforcement and other security professionals to maximize our safety efforts.
Please know that BBSD continues to be proactive in our safety measures. We encourage the community to work with the school district and local police departments, and to report any issues that may cause you concern. If you see something, please say something, and encourage your children to do the same.
Berlin Brothersvalley School District has steps in place to address student and staff safety issues through the adoption of a
District-wide Emergency Response Plan.
Berlin Brothersvalley School District has the ability to send out text alerts and messages. In order to participate in this service, your cell phone number must be in our student database AND you must indicate your willingness to receive text messages to your phone.
*Although Berlin Brothersvalley School District does not charge for this service, it does not pay for text message charges that may be incurred by you for sending or receiving text messages. Check with your wireless carrier for possible charges.
