Wishing you a happy, healthy and relaxing holiday season!

It’s hard to believe we’re already nearing the end of December.  It has been a whirlwind of a year.  I want to thank our families, staff and students for all of your hard  work to keep BEA healthy!  I have included in this blog post some resources for families.  

Covid testing information

Over the holidays you may find yourself in need of a Covid test.  Please see the Minnesota Department of Health’s Covid testing website for testing information.  MDH has also published this resource: I Got Tested - Now What?  

Positive test?  Exposed to someone with Covid?

If you or a household member tests positive for Covid, everyone should stay home.  If you were in close contact with someone who tested positive, but they do not live in your home, you still need to quarantine.  Please see the Minnesota Department of Health’s quarantine website for more information.
