What are the safety procedures?

• FACE COVERINGS THAT COVER THE NOSE AND MOUTH ARE REQUIRED AT ALL TIMES.

• Students will be seated 6 feet apart and facing the same way.
• Students must use hand sanitizer upon entering the room and exiting the room.
• Students may bring a water bottle filled with water only as the water fountains and vending machines are turned off.

Once I get there, what are the procedures? (for students)

• Students will scan a QR code to watch a safety video and sign a form acknowledging they will wear their face coverings correctly at all times.
• Student will log into the OneNote Notebook and fill out the table.
• Name, Courses/Lessons to be worked on.
• Student will highlight the cell of the course RED when teacher help is needed.
• This will indicate to the teacher to come to the table at their earliest convenience.
• Once the teacher has come to the table, the cell will be turned back to white.
• This will eliminate the need to raise your hand for long periods of time or try to get the teacher's attention while s/he is helping another student.

Thank you!

Thank you,
