Update to CAC'S C.A.R.E.S. Safety Protocol

CAC has updated our COVID safety guidelines based on the latest information from medical authorities. Please see below for additional protocols below, including our response to COVID exposure and contact tracing, required adult/parent contract and travel guidelines.

CAC RESPONSE TO COVID EXPOSURE

If a staff member, instructor, or student has been exposed to COVID-19 or tests positive for COVID-19, CAC will conduct contact tracing to the best of our ability using our entrance check-in log. We will contact any potentially impacted individuals and will require negative test(s) for any exposed (or infected) persons as well as a 14-day quarantine before being admitted back to CAC.

ADULT/PARENT COVID AGREEMENT:

If someone in your household is diagnosed with COVID-19 or your child is exposed to COVID-19, you will keep your child home for 14 days and notify us immediately. If someone in your household develops new cough, shortness of breath or TWO of the following: sore throat, chills, muscle pain, headache, new loss of taste or smell, I will get that person tested for COVID-19 and notify us immediately. If that person tests positive, I will keep my child or myself (adult student) home for 14 days. ADDITIONALLY, any adult who develops above symptoms should not come for drop off or pick-up of children until a negative test result is achieved.

TRAVEL OUT OF STATE

Travel to hotspots before attending CAC is not permitted. If you travel to a state with a COVID-19 test positivity rate above 10% you should get tested and self-quarantine at home until the test result is received. The District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Virginia are exempt from this recommendation. See the link below for a list of hot spots. Please call us with any questions.
