Physical Distancing Protocol

Protocol for Physical Distancing and Protection

• Minimum of 35 sq ft per person (not just students) in a room

• 6 feet between people (to the maximum extent possible)

• Minimizing interactions between cohorts

• Physical distancing in classrooms, hallways, restrooms, arrival and dismissal, meals, recess, passing times

Mitigation Measures:

• Signs with the maximum people capacity are posted at the entry to each room. Students are assigned to classroom space based on this capacity.

• Cohort Interaction is monitored to minimize interactions by the following (this is not an exhaustive list):

  • Cohorts are assigned separate recess and lunch times.

  • Cohorts are assigned entry and exit points in and out of the school for screening and daily logging.

  • Cohorts remain in their classroom while the subject matter teachers move between classrooms when feasible.

  • Each cohort has an assigned bathroom.

  • Drop off and PIck Up procedures are followed to allow for physical distancing.

  • Students riding the bus are escorted to the bus zone by a staff member to ensure physical distancing.

  • Staff placed in zones to monitor physical distancing during arrival and dismissal.

● No in person assemblies. Any group presentations will be broadcast through the use of webcams to each classroom.
