We take the safety of all students & staff very seriously. Our core priorities this year are to ensure that every child is safe and that every child reaches their full academic potential in a fun-loving environment.

To ensure safety, here is a BRIEF overview of our COVID-19 safety measures:

• Everyone will be required to wear masks at all times.
• Mask breaks will be outside only.
• Students will be 3 feet apart in the classrooms, hallways and all areas inside the building.
• Sanitization stations will be placed at every entry way and throughout the building.
• Water fountains will only operate as water bottle fill stations ( all drinking spouts have been disabled).
• Lunches will take place in the cafeteria & classrooms to assist with safety measures, spacing, and contact tracing.
• All staff & students entering the building are required to self-certify daily. If you are sick, please stay home.
• Children showing symptoms throughout the day will be assessed by our school nurse & families will be notified.
• Food cannot be shared amongst students.
• The building and classrooms will be consistently sanitized throughout the day and after school.
