COVID-19 | Valley Christian Schools Information
As we prepare for students to return to campus, we will continue with 100% in person learning for the 2022-2023 school year. We ask that students and staff remain home if they are feeling ill. Symptom improvement will be required prior to returning to campus. Testing will be strongly recommended prior to returning to campus if COVID-19 is suspected.

COVID CAMPUS POLICIES
- Masks Required
- The CDPH, masking indoors is still highly recommended but is not required. No one will be prevented from wearing a mask unless it could pose a safety hazard, like participation in water sports. Masks will be available for staff and students in each campus’ office.
- Daily Screening
- We will no longer require students and staff to complete their Darcy screening before arriving on campus each day.
TESTING & VACCINATIONS
Testing
Valley Christian Schools will no longer be providing PCR testing at the Skyway campus. Limited rapid antigen testing will be available at each campus. Rapid antigen testing is recommended for students and staff prior to the start of the school year, unless COVID positive in the last 90 days. Testing will continue to be required for large scale indoor events as well as school-sponsored overnight travel.
