Health and Safety Update
November 12, 2021
We continue to work closely with the Kern County Public Health Department to ensure that we are following the most up-to-date guidance and protocols related to COVID-19. In order to reduce the risk of the spread of COVID-19, Wonderful College Prep Academy (“WCPA”) requires all employees, temporary workers, and contractors to adhere to Center for Disease Control and California Department of Public Health guidance as listed in the Academy’s Staff COVID-19 Safety Policy when working at WCPA campuses or at other physical locations outside of your home.
Based on this collective guidance, we have implemented additional safety precautions on our campuses. The WCPA Staff COVID-19 Safety Policy outlines the expectations for all staff and visitors while on any WCPA school sites. Additionally, we will continue implementing a brief wellness screening, including a temperature screening, prior to any person entering either school site. If you decline to participate in the wellness screening or appear to be COVID-19 symptomatic, you may be asked to return home. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your principal, supervisor, or Human Resources.
