Safety Procedures

Masks

    • It is strongly recommended that students in 3rd grade and higher wear a face mask unless they are unable to do so for a health or developmental reason. We are asking that all students in grades K-8 bring a mask to school for times that social distancing of 6 feet is not possible (for example, standing in line for recess and the cafeteria.). During times that students can social distance 6 feet, mask are optional at the parent or guardian’s discretion.
    • Those who have difficulty wearing a cloth mask are able to wear a clear face shield during these times instead.

Social Distancing

Keeping a distance of six feet or more between people adds another layer of prevention against the spread of COVID-19 by minimizing the chance of coming into contact with the virus through respiratory droplets. Therefore, classroom desks or alternate seating options will be placed 6 feet apart.

Frequent cleaning and sanitizing of the building, especially commonly used surfaces.

Each student will have his or her own supplies. Supplies will not be shared among students.

Limit the number of visitors to a school. Parents and other visitors to the building will not be allowed anywhere except the school office.

Hand washing and sanitizing: Students, staff and volunteers will practice frequent handwashing for at least 20 seconds when hands are dirty, before and after eating, and after using the restroom. Each classroom and common area is already equipped with hand sanitizing stations.

The water bottle filling station is the only part of the drinking fountain that will be utilized. All students are asked to bring a water bottle to school each day.
