We are preparing for that option by enabling the teacher to Zoom into the class and direct the learning activities. In addition, there will be a staff member present in the classroom to supervise. Children learning from home will be able to participate as well.
If the Teacher cannot participate in this manner, a substitute will be brought in to teach.
Any mask that covers the mouth and nose is allowed. No words, pictures, or logos are allowed.
Every student and staff member will have their temperature taken each morning. Any student with a temperature of 100 or above will not be allowed in school.
Drop off will take longer than usual as fewer students will be carpooling. There will be no students congregating outside during this time.
A detailed plan for a smooth drop off for all students will be posted when finalized.

If someone in school tests positive for COVID, anyone who had direct contact with them (within 6 feet for at least 15 minutes irrespective of whether the person with COVID or the contact was wearing a mask) will have to be quarantined for 14 days or until a negative test result from a test administered day 5 from last contact.
We will consult with our medical professionals in each specific case.
