COVID-19 Safety Guidelines: The health and safety of our participants and staff remain our highest priority. Below, you will find a summary of our COVID-19 Safety Guidelines to help ensure we are lowering the risk of spreading COVID-19 as much as possible.

If any participant has COVID-19, we request that the participant not come to the center for 5 days from the first day of exhibiting symptoms. On day 6, the participant is welcome back but is required to wear a mask for an additional 5 days.

PACC will be providing masks for anyone who asks for one.

If a participant does get sick at PACC, we have identified an area where they can rest, be watched after, and safely isolate themselves from others. Any child who is sick will be sent home. We will communicate with parents or caretakers directly.

If any participant is feeling any Covid-19 symptoms, we ask that you please stay home and get tested. Once you are tested, please inform our office administration of your results.

In the event of a participant missing classes due to testing positive with Covid-19, we can provide a virtual option when appropriate. If not possible, then we will arrange for classes to be made up during our make-up week or through other classes that are available.
