Hello Bridging Gap USA (BGAP) Families!
We welcome back all our students for learning.
Bridging Gap USA (BGAP) values the safety of our students, teachers, staff and our parents, and that’s paramount — no exception.
As we strive to reopen our center for learning, we are making every effort to bring back our in-person classes as safely as possible — along with the option of virtual learning. We have always maintained a high level of cleanliness and sanitation, but now we’re going above and beyond to implement stricter standards.
New center policies include:
- Maintaining more than 6-7ft distance between students and teachers
- Sanitizing and disinfecting after every class
- All teachers, students, and staff will be required to wear masks at all times in the center
- Any child who shows signs of illness (or lives with others who show signs of illness) should refrain from coming to the center.
- Hand washing before and after the class
- Checking temperature of staff upon entering
This policy change will help us continue to meet the needs of our students while also keeping them safe. Bridging Gap USA (BGAP) is here to serve, and we’re so excited to be able to see our students continue their learning despite the difficulties being thrown at them during this trying time.
Together, we “Prepare Today…Succeed Tomorrow!”
