Safety Measures Taken During Outbreaks of COVID-19 (note: some of these measures change as vaccination and exposure have become more common):
Masks are not currently required, however this could change per CDC recommendation. Masks will not required of students younger than six.
Physical distancing in lines and around cubby areas and hallways.
Handwashing practices taught and part of our routine.
Temperatures taken at drop off and dismissal.
Electronic attendance taken via the brightwheel app, eliminating shared pens, clipboards and entry into the building by people other than staff and students.
Staff will go through a health screening and temperature check prior to their shift and limit clothing and hair contact with children by wearing smocks, changing clothes if necessary and wearing hair back.
Snack is no longer served buffet style, but in individual servings.
Items from home such as sharing or backpacks will no longer be allowed (exceptions are made for our youngest friends and their nap items).
Sanitation stations throughout the classrooms as well as vapor sanitation, UV light and sanitation after each material is used will all be part of the daily routine.
Physical distancing in classrooms
Circulating the indoor air as much as possible with open windows and fans blowing air out in order to prevent stagnant air.
Extra cleaning occurring every night and extensive cleaning during school closure.
Small class sizes, remaining with our classroom groups as much as possible in order to limit group exposure.
