Mountain Lakes Reopening Plan

Operational

All indoor facilities will have adequate ventilation, including operational heating and ventilation systems where appropriate. Recirculated air must have a fresh air component, windows will be opened, if practical, if air conditioning is not provided, filter(s) for A/C units will be maintained and changed according to manufacturer recommendations.
District will prepare and maintain hand sanitizing stations with alcohol-based hand sanitizers (at least 60% alcohol). Such stations can include:
- Classrooms
- Entrances & Exits of buildings
- Lunchrooms and bathrooms

Facing coverings are required for all passengers. Accommodations for students who are unable to wear a face covering should be addressed according to that student’s particular need.
Students will sit away from the aisle to increase physical distance
Assigned seating may assist in ensuring that such practices are followed consistently.
Bus drivers should limit close contact with others by maintaining a distance at least of six feet, when possible; avoid touching surfaces often touched by passengers.
Provide tissues and no-touch disposal receptacles for use by the bus drivers and passengers.
Provide disposable disinfectant wipes so that surfaces commonly touched by the bus driver and passengers can be wiped down. Use gloves if required to touch surfaces contaminated by bloody fluids.
Clear and apply disinfectant to school buses at least daily, if possible between routes.
Transportation vendors will be required to provide the district with their health and safety protocols for review.

Students will wear face masks when entering and exiting the building and classrooms.
Each school in the district will provide physical guides, such as tape on floors or sidewalks and signs on walls, to help ensure that staff and students remain at least six feet apart in lines and at other times (e.g. guides for creating "one-way routes" in hallways).
If necessary, the schools will utilize additional entrances and exits.
Visitors will be limited but in the event a visitor must enter the building, they will use their own pens or staff will sign on behalf and possibly complete a survey.
As necessary, modify parent dropoff and pickup procedures to ensure social distancing.
Signage will be placed throughout the building to provide hygiene etiquette and reminders.
Physical protective barriers, such as plexiglass, will be installed in identified areas in each building.
Student movement in the hallways will be limited.
Student will be in smaller cohorts to and from buses.

In the daily work schedules for head custodians, the building will be opened, and key sections cleaned first.
When classes begin, custodians will disinfect all classroom door knobs, bottle filling stations and bathroom fixtures.
Restrooms will be cleaned two times while school is in session and one time after dismissal.
High-touch areas will be cleaned as often as possible while school is in session and again after dismissal.
High-traffic areas such as entrances and lobbies will be cleaned once while school is in session and again after dismissal.
Each area will also be cleaned as needed to address any situations that may arise. Water fountains will be closed, yet bottle filling stations will remain available.
Head custodians will monitor all building needs and act on requests. Custodians will make garbage collections throughout the day. All classroom buildings in the district will be disinfected using foggers every night.
