PRESCHOOL Preschool staff will return on August 17 as scheduled. The school year will begin on August 25 and 26. Like school age, preschool will return on a gradual basis. We will begin with distance learning and bring kids into school as we evaluate the appropriateness of in-class attendance for that specific child. Staff will provide virtual learning guidance for students and their families until such time as they are in full-time attendance. The size of the locker rooms and pool make distancing nearly impossible in these areas. Therefore, we have decided swimming will not be offered for preschool this year. In addition, as we adhere to distance guidelines and aim not to share equipment, we will not offer Adaptive Physical Education to preschoolers as it is not required. Recess will be held one class at a time with a break in-between classes for staff to sanitize equipment. PROTOCOLS FOR THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT AT FOREST ROSE SCHOOL Daily Protocol Each day, immediately upon arrival, every staff member entering the building will have their temperature taken. A nurse will be checking staff. The receptionist will be checking visitors. If their temperature is above 100.4 degrees, they will be sent home. Staff exhibiting any of the general symptoms or concerns of COVID-19 should remain home. Visitors will not be permitted in the building unless it is an emergency or has been pre-planned. If a visitation is necessary, they will be required to wear a mask. School Meals and Snacks We are encouraging parents to provide breakfast and lunch for their child. However, we will still be offering this to our students. Lunch will be served in the classroom instead of the multi-purpose room. Disposable trays and utensils will be used to the largest extent possible. Any snacks provided by parents will be for their child only. Opt Out Option for Students If students/family members choose to opt out of in-class attendance, then virtual learning options will be provided. For those students, teachers and other staff will provide different activities that can be completed at home to advance learning. It will be necessary for families to remain in contact with school staff. Back-up Plan for Alert Level 4 (Purple) The Ohio Department of Health has established an Alert Level System for counties in Ohio. If Fairfield County is determined to be Alert Level 4, or the Purple Level, preschool and school programs will shift to virtual learning and all in-school services will be temporarily suspended until the level has reduced to at least Level 3, or the Red Level. The Fairfield County Board of DD will follow guidance from the Fairfield Health Department. Forest Rose staff may be assigned to work Fairfield DD COVID-19 Response Plan V 1.2 7/30/20 (Draft) P.8
from home if work can be maintained remotely. Administration will have the discretion, based on Health Department guidance, to determine if staff can work from home. Protocol when Positive COVID-19 Test or “Contact’ If a student or staff member tests positive for COVID-19, the person will not attend preschool or school and should be isolated for at least 10 days since symptoms appeared and there has been a 72-hour fever-free period (without the aid of a fever reducer) and respiratory symptoms have improved. If a student or staff member is determined to have been in “contact” with a person who has COVID -19, the individual will not attend preschool or school and should be quarantined for fourteen days. “Contact” is defined as being within 6 feet of a person with COVID-19 for a period of 15 minutes within the past 48 hours. For example, a person who rides the bus or sits in a classroom within 6 feet of a person with the virus for 15 minutes, the person would be considered a “contact” and would need to be quarantined for 14 days. If the person later learns that he/she tests positive for COVID-19, then the isolation protocol would begin. If a person has “contact” with a “contact”, this person does not require quarantine. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus and may be mild to severe. Symptoms may include, but are not limited to: • Fever or chills • Cough • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing • Fatigue • Muscle or body aches • Headache • New loss of taste or smell • Sore throat • Congestion or runny nose • Nausea or vomiting Diarrhea Face Masks All staff will wear a face covering. Students in Grades 3 and higher will be encouraged to wear a mask. However, we recognize that many of our students cannot and/or will not wear a mask. Transportation To reduce exposure, Fairfield DD is requesting parent transportation whenever possible. However, transportation in school buses is still available. Prior to boarding the bus, bus drivers will take the child’s temperature with no-touch thermometers. If the child has a temperature of 100.4 degrees or higher, he/she will not be able to attend school. Likewise, should the child begin to exhibit any symptoms during the school day, the family will be asked to pick up the child to return home immediately. No more than one student will be on each seat on the bus, except students living in the same household who can sit together. Children will be seated six feat apart to the greatest extent possible. Due to the size of our buses and the number of students on each route, physical Fairfield DD COVID-19 Response Plan V 1.2 7/30/20 (Draft) P.9
