One of our primary goals of VBS is to have fun within a safe environment. We have developed our safety protocols based on several sources included, but not limited to, the CDC website, practices of BFMC, and practices of the Brockport Central School District. Protocols may change or adapt as VBS gets closer.
- All participants and staff will wear a mask within the building, no exceptions *(see note below)
- Parents are asked to keep home any participant who has a fever, runny nose or cough.
- Temperature checks before entry to the building
- Frequent opportunities to wash or sanitize hands
- Minimal interaction with other crews
- Attention to sanitizing shared spaces and supplies
- Snacks will be sent home at dismissal
- Social distancing when possible
- All volunteers have been cleared through our Reducing the Risk Safety Training and background check
- Closed-toed shoes are highly recommended since kids will be running during games
- Sunscreen is recommended. Staff cannot apply to participants
*Recent changes in mask wearing guidelines have been made, but our team has not had time to review these changes. Considering that VBS age children are not vaccinated, it is most likely that we will ask all staff to wear a mask, but this policy may change in the coming weeks. If you are concerned about staff members wearing masks, please email us at vbs@brockportfm.org. Your thoughts are important to us!
