COVID-19 Safety Plan
In order to reopen VMCS to in-person instruction, we had to have our new COVID-19 Safety Plan approved by the Orange County Health Care Agency. They provided feedback, and some modifications were made. As of March 1, 2021, we have reopened to in-person instruction. We are grateful to have our scholars and staff back with us for five full days of instruction each week, as well as provide a distance learning option for families who are electing to wait until the 2021-2022 school year. Continue to take care and be part of the solution!
Morning Gathering
Screening of Scholars on Campus
As GOALS continues to provide supervised support on campus at our Vibrant Minds Distance Learning Center, we want to clearly communicate when scholars should remain at home or will be sent home. Each morning, the following screening needs to take place. If any of the questions are answered in the affirmative, then the child needs to remain home. Keeping our VM Distance Learning Center open will take a community effort. This same effort will be needed when we reopen our school for instruction.
- Temperature of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or higher when taken by mouth
- Sore throat
- New uncontrolled cough that causes difficult breathing (for scholars with chronic allergic/asthmatic cough, a change in their cough from baseline)
- Diarrhea, vomiting, or abdominal pain
- New onset of severe headache, especially with a fever
- Had close contact (within 6 feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes) with a person with confirmed COVID-19
The following charts in English and Spanish developed by the Orange County Health Care Agency will guide us as we respond to illnesses among our scholars.

FEATURED PROJECTS AND PERFORMANCES
Our group of sixth graders were the only elementary school in attendance at the Anaheim Union High School District's Solo/Ensemble Festival. The adjudicator rated them with a superior. We are proud of our scholars and grateful to the siblings, parents, and relatives who attended. We also had an opportunity to reconnect with a number of our graduates who were performing at this event.
This video was part of our Back-to-School Night event prior to the classroom presentations. Enjoy!
