Return to Learn Addendum
We are thankful to be returning for another school year. Our staff has been busy preparing for the new year. This year we as a staff have collectively committed to the theme, "We're All In This Together." It is a fitting theme given the challenges since March of 2020, and there are undoubtedly other challenges ahead.
We are, however, at a different stage of dealing with COVID-19, globally, as a country, as a state, as a county, as communities, and as a school district. We are fully committed to the safety, health and well-being of our Hinton students, families, and staff, and will take much from what we learned in the recent past to help us move forward safely and wisely.
We will keep our extensive 2020-2021 Return-to-Learn plan as a resource but we will begin the year with a basic approach that emphasizes hygiene, practicality, and personal responsibility.
In addition to all our normal routines and procedures, we will adhere to the following:
- Masks or face coverings are optional for students, staff, and visitors. This includes school transportation for students, staff, and drivers
- Students are encouraged to bring water from home in clear bottles with lids or closure of some kind. Students may refill water bottles in water bottle filler stations. (Note: the fountain part will be turned off)
- Frequent reminders will be given to wash hands, to cover sneezes/coughs, and to maintain as much space between individuals as is possible.
- Hand sanitizer will be regularly available
- Extensive cleaning and disinfecting will continue within the buildings and facilities.
- Students and staff are asked to stay home when they are sick, so as not to spread infection of any kind.
As per public health recommendations, students and staff who test positive for COVID-19 should remain home until they are no longer infectious. They can return when:
- At least 10 days have passed since symptoms first appeared AND
- 24 hours fever free without fever-reducing medication AND
- COVID-19 symptoms improve, and the case is feeling “well” again.
We will coordinate with our local and state health officials to adjust if/when the need arises.
Free School Meals
Hinton Community Schools will be participating in SSO program. This means there will be FREE MEALS to all enrolled students.
It is still encouraged to fill out the free and reduced applications. This will help for any future programs for individually and community eligibility.
