Community Statement of Responsibility

This Statement of Responsibility assumes positive intent and uses the same approach and underlying philosophy as our Community Norms and Behavior Management Model. This statement has been designed with input from faculty, staff, and parent leaders. The school requires each family to acknowledge this important statement with an electronic signature before the first day of school.

As members of the PBS community, we affirm and uphold our responsibility to one another. Though different expectations may exist for vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals, we are all accountable for following the published guidelines. We agree that we will:

  1. Make the health and safety of our individual families and the PBS community our top priority, recognizing that at times this will mean putting compliance with health protocols over family convenience. Our choices have a direct impact on the health and safety of our community.
  2. Take responsibility for reading and complying with all of the guidelines posted on the COVID Portal on the PBS website. 
  3. Follow all government requirements and recommendations regarding best practices around health and hygiene.
  4. Comply with the published testing and reporting protocol.
  5. Follow PBS’s face-covering and physical-distancing requirements as well as guidance set forth by the CDC and the California Department of Public Health. 
  6. Follow the CDC’s guidelines regarding Domestic Travel During COVID-19 and COVID-19 Travel Recommendations by Destination (for international travel). 
  7. Immediately notify PBS when we are aware that a member of our own household has a known or suspected case of COVID-19.
  8. Remain mindful of our own and others’ mental health and safety during this time. We will practice self-care and remain non-judgemental in our thoughts about other PBS community members.
