Hazardville Memorial School ~March 21, 2021
Welcome Back!
Below you will find details about the health and safety procedures Hazardville has been following this school year. These procedures were developed from CDC and CT State Department of Education guidelines. These health and safety procedures will remain in place upon students’ return to school 4 days a week.
Masks
· Everyone will be required to wear masks at school.
· Masks should completely cover the nose and mouth and fit snugly against the sides of face without gaps.
· Mask breaks will be provided throughout the day.
Classroom Setup
· Maximize social distancing between student workstations, achieving at least 3 feet when feasible.
· Maximize space between the teacher and students due to the risk of increased droplets from teachers during instruction.
· Floor markings have been installed to illustrate social/physical distancing.
· Use outdoor instruction where health and safety conditions and physical space allow.
· Students have access to washing and sanitizing stations.
· Number of students returning on March 22nd will vary from classroom to classroom.
Hallways/ Passing
· Floors are marked to support social/physical distancing.
· Schedules allow for staggered passing in the hallway.
Bathrooms
· Each wing has an assigned bathroom and each classroom has scheduled bathroom breaks throughout the day so only one classroom is accessing the bathrooms at a time.
Lunchtime
·Students will eat lunch in their classroom.
Instruction Model Options
· 4 day in person learning (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday)
· Full remote (5 days a week)
Important things to consider
· Wednesdays will remain asynchronous (remote) for all students.
· Students whose family choose the 4-day learning model will be expected to come to school every day but Wednesday. Remote learning days are not available to provide flexible learning schedules for students. Remote learning on in-person days is only acceptable for students who are sick or need to quarantine.
· Students may switch to full remote at any time.
· Families cannot switch back and forth between learning models.
· Hybrid (2 days in-person) will not be an option beginning March 22nd.
