Mitigation Layers
All students and adults must wear masks when in any LCPS building and on buses (teachers will be having some mask breaks for classes). All students and adults are expected to frequently wash hands. Each room in the building and our main school air flow unit are equipped with air filters. Vaccinations have been available to most students and all adults.
There is no minimum expectation for social distancing when masks are on. Lunch seats are 2 feet apart and we will have additional desks around the perimeter of the cafeteria to help the students spread out. Students should mask up when not eating and will be allowed to go outside, weather permitting, after 10-15 minutes.
We have requested 20 picnic areas from LCPS but they will not be ready this month. Students will be seated by classes in the cafeteria at first and shortly after allowed to sit near their friends in a seat of their choice (but then permanent to allow for contact tracing, if needed).
For HPE, masks should be on on when not exercising. For chorus (outside), masks can be off while singing and if spaced. For chorus (indoors), masks should be on with 3 feet suggested and when feasible.
Please contact the grade level dean (below) with any questions.
