COVID-19 Response

It is the responsibility of the owners and administrative team at each school to select and follow the guidance that is appropriate for their specific school at that specific time. The following strategies may vary from school to school.

• Temperature screening at the door for child drop-off and staff entering the building.
• The nurse or screener may ask additional questions to screen each individual’s health.
• Nurse or faculty may exclude any child or staff member who exhibits any of the following: cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, or temperature greater than 100 degrees F or greater.
• Masks are mandatory for adults in our schools. Children are encouraged to wear masks and some ages are mandated to wear them in certain states or areas.
• Additional measures being taken inside the school:
  • The Village gym may be divided into two spaces to encourage social distancing.
  • Staggering playground times and as much fresh air as possible.
  • Suspending any non-essential visits from members of the community.
  • Water fountain usage will be a refill station only.
  • Increasing health checks throughout the day.

Partnering with you

• Let your school’s administrative team know if anyone in your household develops symptoms of COVID-19 or has been exposed to someone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19. Isolation times should follow the recommendations of the Health Department or CDC.
• Diligently watch for symptoms.
• Verify email and cell numbers with your school for emergency communications.
• Be patient with us – everything we are doing is to keep our families and staff safe and healthy.
