The Re-Entry Guidance Plan focuses on several areas essential to a safe return to schools in the fall and a commitment to the health of students, staff and the public health at large.
The broad focus has included:
Cleaning:
- The frequency of school cleaning will increase.
- Emphasis will be placed on personal hygeine. Students and staff must wash or disinfect their hands each time they enter the school throughout the day.
Screening and daily precautions:
- Sylvan Meadows will be communicating further before the fall on self-screening, before students leave the home, to ensure that a student or staff member does not attend school if they have symptoms or are ill.
- A screening information tool will be provided to each family upon registration, along with a form to sign indicating that each family has read and understood the screening proceedure.
- Visitors of the school will be asked to do the same self-screening prior to attending the school.
Protective Personal Equipment (PPE):
- Mask use at schools is optional this time.
Communication with families:
- Sylvan Madows staff will continue to communicate with you as more details are available via email.
- Please feel free to contact us with your questions or concerns. We are in this together.
