At Boys and Girls Clubs of the Coastal Bend
the safety and well-being of young people is our number one priority.

Following the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, it’s important that you know Boys & Girls Clubs of the Coastal Bend (BGCCB) will do everything possible to keep your child and our staff protected from its spread. We will be implementing a 1-10 employee/club member ratio as well as adhering to CDC, state, county, and city guidelines. We are also closely monitoring reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and our local health department for all updated information.
We will begin our daily health screenings as children arrive. Temperature screenings and a general health questionnaire will be conducted prior to any individual entering. Parents will NOT be allowed to enter the facility. If any child has been exposed to anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19, they will not be able to participate until after the state mandated quarantine time has passed.
If your child(ren) test positive for COVID-19, please report that information to the Club as soon as possible so measures for safety and quarantine can take place.

All members and staff will be required to wear a face covering throughout the afternoon. It is the responsibility of the family to make sure masks are provided and laundered on a regular basis. If a child shows up at the Club without their mask, they will be given a disposable one for that day.

For safety reasons parents will not be allowed inside the Club and must wait outside for drop off or pick up. If at an afterschool site, a BGCCB staff will be set up outside or at the door and radio in the name of the child(ren) that is being picked up. ID must be shown. If pick up is at the traditional club site, parents can ring the bell and we will send the child(ren) out to the parent *For the safety of your family we suggest those over the age of 65 or anyone who is at high risk of contracting COVID-19 to refrain from picking up or dropping off child(ren) if possible.*
It is vital for parents and guardians to be responsible for keeping your child at home if they are experiencing any symptoms of illness. If a child is brought and has a temperature of over 100 degrees that child will not be allowed to stay.

Every staff and club member will have their temperature taken throughout the day. If your child is screened and exhibits any symptoms of illness during the day, your child will be quarantined on site and will need to be picked up immediately after parent is notified.
**Please note: you will have 1 hour to pick up your child after notification. If you fail to pick up your child within that time frame, you automatically forfeit your child’s place in our afterschool program and no refunds will be given**

Children should engage in usual preventive actions to avoid infection, including cleaning hands often using soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer, avoiding people who are sick, staying up to date on vaccinations, and wearing masks while at our club and in public.
