Masks
Optional for all.
Daily Screening for Students and Staff
We ask every family to do a self administered screening before attending school each day. Families and staff should be able to answer "yes" or "true" to the following statements:
1. I have screened my child for signs of illness and none are observed.
2. I have not given my child any fever reducing medicine this morning.
Handwashing and Social Distancing
We wash the children’s hands with them upon arrival, before and after every meal, when coming inside after recess and whenever it is necessary. We are also intentional about putting space in between children for sitting activities such as circle time, meals, and standing in line.
Cleaning and Sanitizing
We will continue to use a four step cleaning and sanitizing process. Toys, supplies, learning materials, playground equipment and common touch points throughout the school are sanitized multiple times during the day. The floors and bathrooms are deeply cleaned every evening after the school is closed. Bleach spray bottles in the classrooms are emptied and refilled daily and marked with the date.
