SACC Pandemic Policies and Procedures

Thank you for choosing SACC. We are excited and ready to see everyone again! The following policies and procedures were created to ensure a safe and healthy environment for our students, and follow the current recommendations of Missouri State Licensing, the Andrew County Health Department, and Savannah R3 School District. Any and all policies or procedures may adjust at any time to follow the most recent recommendation. Any and all policy or procedure changes will be communicated in writing.

For the 2020-21 school year SACC will operate after school, from 2:35-6:00, ONLY. In the event that school is dismissed early SACC will only offer half day care at Minnie Cline. This includes scheduled early outs and weather related early outs. If school is dismissed for COVID-19 related reasons, SACC will NOT be open.

Students will:

• Be required to wear a fabric mask

• Be expected to provide their own mask

• Put on their mask in their classroom before walking down hallway to the SACC meeting area for attendance

• Not be allowed to attend SACC if they do not have their mask during classroom dismissal
