On Campus Student Information
Lockers, Backpacks, and School Supplies
There will be no need for your students to buy or bring school supplies. All supplies will be distributed, as needed, in your student's classrooms.
Visitors
Visitors should make an appointment to meet with campus staff. If at all possible, the meeting will be held virtually. If a virtual meeting is not possible, only the person who makes the appointment may attend the in-person meeting to limit the number of visitors to the school at one time.
All visitors (non-students or non-staff) must wear a face mask and answer health screening questions before being allowed on a campus. See “Health Screening for Visitors Protocol" and “Use of Face Masks Protocol”.
If a visitor answers a question unsatisfactorily, they will not be allowed on campus until specific criteria are met. See “Health Screening for Visitors Protocol”.
Lunch visitors will not be allowed during the first semester of the 2020-2021 school year and will be reevaluated prior to the second semester.
Meals
Social distancing will be maintained between students and employees as much as feasible.
Menu items will be limited, including condiments, and there will not be a la carte food options.
For breakfast, students will be offered grab and go service.
For lunch, students will pick up meals in the cafeteria serving lines, and access to lines will be controlled to limit the number of students in line at any time.
To reduce the number of surfaces the students will be touching, there will not be self-service menu options.
Serving lines will be sanitized frequently.
Buses
Students must wear a face mask on buses. A disposable mask will be provided in the morning if a student does not have one. See “Use of Face Masks Protocol”.
Students must sanitize their hands upon entering the bus.
When feasible and weather permitting, windows and roof vents will be opened to allow for additional airflow and ventilation throughout buses.
Drivers will spray disinfecting solution and wipe down seats, handrails and high-touch areas after each run or as frequently as possible.
Buses and vehicles will be fogged with disinfecting solution following afternoon routes.
