***Important Procedures for Return to School***


 Student Health Questionnaire

  • For the health and safety of our school community, please review the "Student Daily Health Questionnaire" each morning prior to sending your child to school. Questionnaire is posted on this blog.

Student Entry Into School
  • Student will be welcomed with excitement into the school by the school nurse and/or another staff member.  They will have their temperature taken, asked how they are feeling, and monitored to ensure proper facial covering is in place. 
  • Student will then be directed down the hall to their classrooms.
  • Parents and visitors may enter the school by appointment only.  Visitors are required to wear facial covering, maintain 6 ft physical distancing and complete a health questionnaire prior to entry. 

Facial Coverings
  • All students and staff must wear facial coverings.
  • Facial covering may be removed for eating and during recess.
  • When facial coverings are removed they will be placed in an appropriate manner to ensure no contamination.
  • Students may remove facial coverings every 30 minutes to drink.  This is helpful as they are all adjusting to their masks.
  • Please consider sending in a reusable water bottle.  Cozy has new refillable stations for all to use as needed.
  • Students are required to supply their own facial coverings and a backup as needed. 
  • Facial coverings will be available in the nurse office in case of an emergency.
  • Neck gaitors are permitted at this time, but vented masks are NOT permitted. 
  • Facial coverings must cover nose and mouth and be snug under the chin. 

Physical Distancing
  • Physical Distancing (no less than 6 feet apart for greater than 10 minutes) will be monitored and enforced throughout the day.


Handwashing and Use of Hand Sanitizer
  • Students will wash their hands or use hand sanitizer when entering and exiting a classroom.
  • Students will wash their hands with soap and water after recess and use of the bathroom.
  • Students will wash their hands or use hand sanitizer after touching their facial covering when putting it on and off. 


Cleaning and Disinfecting
  • Extra mandated cleaning and disinfecting of the school building surfaces and classrooms will take place each day with a thorough complete cleaning of the entire building each Wednesday.  
  • Additional cleaning of classroom surfaces will take place throughout the day as needed.  Including, but not limited to the cleaning of each desk after snack.
