Disinfectant sprays will be used for deeper cleanings by custodial staff.

The school cleaning schedules will reflect the need for increased cleaning of common spaces.

All classrooms will be cleaned and disinfected at the end of each day.

Frequently touched surfaces, such as light switches and door handles, will be cleaned regularly.

Classroom doors, when possible, will be left open so as to avoid repeated touching of door handles.

Holy water fonts will be left empty.

Classroom toys will be cleaned after use or taken out of rotation until they have been cleaned.
Health Protocols
The health, safety, and welfare of our students is always our first priority.

Please keep your child at home if they are experiencing any symptoms and/or feeling sick.

All students and staff will have their temperatures taken daily upon entering the school. Those with a temperature of 100.3 or higher will be sent home.

When students develop symptoms at school, parents will pick up their child in a timely manner to help reduce exposure at school.

Proper hand washing hygiene will be taught and practiced throughout the school day.

Water fountains will be covered throughout the school. The bottle fillers will be available.

Each child is encouraged to bring his or her own water bottle daily.

Hand sanitizer will be placed in every room in the main campus school. Licensing does not allow for hand sanitizer in the preschool.

A school nurse or a health aide will manage the nurse’s office every day.

Main campus classrooms will have their windows open to help ventilate classrooms. Fans will be used to create negative air flow.

The HVAC system at the ECC will be monitored regularly and filters will be changed on a regular basis.

Students will not be allowed to bring in treats, edible or non-edible, for their birthdays. The classroom teacher will recognize the student’s birthday in class.

Masks

Masks are required on all school buses. This is a federal requirement and there are no exceptions, even for those fully vaccinated.

Currently, masks are recommended, but not required, for all those who are not fully vaccinated.

Social Emotional Health

We are conscious of the toll that the pandemic is taking on our students, staff, and community.

Mrs. Peggy VanWyk, our counselor, will be at SEAS twice a week to support our students and staff.

In classrooms with student desks, the desks will face the front and will be arranged to ensure as much social distancing as possible.

Collapsible "desk shields" are available for every student and staff member to use in the classroom.

Students will have their own supplies to use throughout the day.

Students in K-5th grade will be in self-contained learning cohorts.

Lunch and Snacks

Lunches will be served vs self-served.

Students will need to bring their own snack to school daily.

In order to limit exposure, parents and other family members will not be allowed to attend lunch with their child.

Preschool will continue to provide snack in the morning and afternoon. Students who attend all day will need to pack a lunch. Guidelines are found in the preschool handbook.

Distance Learning

Students who are in quarantine will be able to keep up with classroom assignments.

Two digital platforms will support distance learning: Seesaw for K-3rd and Google Classroom for grades 4th-8th.

Lessons and assignments will be posted the next day, allowing staff time to post recordings, if available, and assignments.

Expectations:

Packets, if assigned, with assignments will be picked up and completed work will be dropped off on the designated day and time.

Students will check in with their designated teacher, as scheduled.

Parents will monitor student lessons to make sure they are following directions, but not complete the work for them.

Older students will have synchronous courses that require a student to log in at a specific time.

All teachers will be available for questions during the school day.

Communication

We continue to do our best to keep the SEAS community informed of our protocols.

Any procedures and protocols that change will be sent to parents in a timely manner via email or the weekly eNews.

Updates will be posted on our website, and on our school Facebook page.

If a student has been exposed to COVID-19 at school, families will be notified. Exposure is defined as "being a household contact or having close contact within 6 feet of an individual with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 for 15 minutes or more."
