Social Distancing Plan
Measures to Maintain Safe Learning Spaces
-
Arrange desks to be at least six-feet apart and to face in the same direction (rather than facing each other) to reduce transmission caused from virus-containing droplets (e.g., from talking, coughing,<br>sneezing).<br>
-
Consider using visual aids (e.g., painter’s tape, stickers, etc.) to illustrate traffic flow and appropriate spacing to support social distancing
-
Review the feasibility of using distance learning methods in the classroom
-
Copies of this plan have been sent to students

Describe other measures
Signages and Posters
-
Provide signages at designated campus entrance points to inform people that they should: avoid entering the facility if they have a cough or fever; maintain a minimum 6-feet distance from one another; and not shake hands or engage in any unnecessary physical contact.
-
Post a copy of the Social Distancing Protocol at the designated entrance points
-
Display posters within the school promoting proper hand washing
-
Consider engaging the school community in developing communications or creative strategies to limit the spread of the virus
-
Send digital versions of the posters via e-mail
Measures to Protect Students Outside the Classroom
-
Consider staggering up arrival/dismissal times and dividing up student entry points rather than funneling all students through the same entry space
-
Cancel/re-schedule activities and events like field trips, student assemblies, athletic events, practices,<br>special performances, and school-wide parent meetings<br>
-
Consider transitioning field trips to free virtual opportunities
-
For child care or pre-school settings, consider staggering playground use rather than allowing multiple classes to play together. Limit other activities where multiple classes interact.
-
Consider cleaning high touch areas of the play structure between groups
-
Limit nonessential visitors
-
Provide reminders about the importance of not sharing food or drinks during breaks
Measures to Protect School Staff
-
Arrange faculty desks to be at least six-feet apart and to face in the same direction (rather than facing each other) to reduce transmission caused from virus-containing droplets (e.g., from talking, coughing,<br>sneezing)<br>
-
Hold staff meetings virtually or in a large enough space to accommodate social distancing
-
Facilitate professional development trainings virtually whenever possible
-
Explore opportunities for staff who cannot be at school due to their own high risk conditions or those of their family members to complete work utilizing alternate spaces (e.g., telecommute)
-
Identify staff who cannot be at school due to their own high-risk conditions and consult with them if they can provide distance learning instruction to those students who are also unable to attend
