• School entry procedures will align with health and safety measures. Possible temperature checks will be taken during arrival. Parents are expected to take their child’s temperature each and everyday before school. If your child has a temperature, please do not send them to school.

• Every student and staff member must complete the Health Screening Form prior to entering the school building each day. Anyone entering the building must confirm that they are not experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19, have not recently tested positive for COVID-19, and are not currently required to quarantine based on close contact with an infected person. If you need a thermometer to check for a fever, you can request one from your school.

• The Bay Academy will assign multiple points of entry and will identify them with signage to ensure that students are utilizing the same arrival and dismissal entry points every day. Upon arrival they will report directly to their assigned classroom. These classrooms will be the same everyday.

• Each point of entry will be supervised by sufficient staff to ensure that students are supported in maintaining physical distancing and using PPE (Personnel Protective Equipment). School personnel will be outside of each entry point to ensure that students are lining up on the designated social distancing marking.

• Students can pick up an “Grab and Go” breakfast at their arrival door and eat in their assigned classroom.

• Students must arrive with their own face coverings, and if they do not have a face covering, one will be provided before entering the school building.

• The Bay Academy will implement three feet markers and identified traffic patterns with directional markings throughout the building.

Student Circulation

• To reduce movement throughout the building, teachers will travel from class to class, with students remaining in the same room throughout the day to the best extent possible. If students have to travel, proper social distancing protocols will be followed.

• Where possible, students will remain with the same group of students, in their cohort, throughout the day.

• Face coverings must be worn at all times except while eating or drinking.

• Per State Department Of Health guidelines, appropriate signage, e.g., directional markers and physical distancing guidelines, will be displayed on walls and floors throughout all travel routes and staircases.

• The Bay Academy will endeavor to maximize the use of outdoor space for multiple uses, including instruction where feasible and appropriate.

Cleaning

• All classrooms and common areas, such as auditoriums and gyms will have hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes available. High-touch” areas such as doorknobs and water fountains will be cleaned multiple times throughout the day, and each classroom will be deep cleaned and disinfected daily using electrostatic technology.

Student Exit Procedures

• The Bay Academy will assign and identify designated points of egress.

• There will be staggered dismissal times and designated multiple exits for all students.

• Families must be aware of exit procedures and are encouraged to arrive at designated exit/ times to avoid congestion.
