Policy Highlights

Attendance

We benefit from a small community and rely on trust of the members to ensure a continued safe and healthy environment among preschoolers. Morning questionnaires and daily temperature checks will no longer be required before admission into our program, but we ask that all students, teachers and family members stay away from the school when ill, and until fever-free without the use of medication for 24 hours.

Health & Safety

Masks are optional beginning September 2022 for students and teachers. Circle Time will be held outdoors or in the social hall rather than in the classroom. Individual toys and supplies will be used as much as possible. Frequent handwashing, an extensive cleaning program, disinfecting surfaces throughout the day, and encouraging physical distancing with the use of tables and rugs will be among our best practices.

Best Health Practices

We are trusting our families to practice best health practices at all times to minimize risk of exposure to COVID-19, and to protect our teachers and school community. This may include staying at home with new onset symptoms, conducting at-home or PCR testing if indicated, and complying with county recommendations in accordance with local health parameters and conditions.

Communication

Honest and complete daily communication between home and school is essential for the safety of our entire school community. Reporting of illness, symptoms, possible exposure to COVID-19, and positive cases will be done in a timely and confidential manner, so that we can act appropriately to ensure the continued health and safety of our members. Cooperation with local health department officials for notification, contact tracing, and testing must be agreed upon by all.
