Teays Valley Christian School is committed to every student and family. Never has this been more important than the current season of Covid-19 as it relates to school life. Through many interactions with our families, it has become clear that the desires and opinions of what school should look like in the fall ranges from A to Z and that’s ok! We are committed to delivering an option for everyone. This document will provide details of our 3 re-entry options: traditional, blended, and virtual.
We are committed to meeting the needs of every TVCS Family!

OPTION 1: Traditional Schedule with Modifications
School will be in session, face-to-face, for all students, 5 days a week!
The following protocols will be in place to ensure student & staff
safety, academic excellence, and missional integrity:
Drop Off Procedure:
• All students dropped off before 7:45 a.m. will be dropped off at the
Commons.
• All staff and students will have contactless temperature checks upon
arrival on campus.
• Temperature checks between 7:45 a.m. – 8:15 a.m. will occur
outside the school at the downstairs elementary entrance and both
secondary entrances.
• Parents should make sure their child is cleared to enter school
before pulling away from the parking lot.

OPTION 1: Traditional Schedule with Modifications
The facilities and procedures have been modified to encourage
hygiene and increase the safety of our students and facilities.
Hand sanitizer stations will be in all classrooms
and strategically located around the building.
Bathrooms are being upgraded with touchless faucets and soap dispensers (Paper towel dispensers are already touchless).
Water fountains are being converted from traditional water fountains to bottle filling stations.
Temperature checks will occur daily for students and staff. Anyone with a temperature exceeding 99.5 will be asked to remain at home. Anyone with a temperature above 100 will not be allowed in the building. Other symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, and vomiting will result in a student/staff member being required to stay at home.

OPTION 1: Traditional Schedule with Modifications
Health and Safety Daily Routines and Improvements:
• Restroom visits for students will be spread out so that
there is minimal contact between classes.
• Lunches for ALL students will occur in their
classrooms. The hot lunch program will continue to be
an option for all students.
• Recess will be closely monitored to minimize student
contact, and multiple grades will not have recess together.
• All “touched” surfaces in classrooms will be sanitized
throughout the day by the teachers.
• Custodians will clean and sanitize the entire facility daily.
• Frequent hand washing will be encouraged in addition to the
new hand sanitizer stations.
• Regarding face coverings, students and staff will follow the state
leadership guidelines as they pertain to schools.
• Secondary classes will not change classrooms, but teachers will
rotate to students to limit hallway interaction.

OPTION 1: Traditional Schedule with Modifications
Field Trips
There will be no field trips during the first nine weeks of
school unless approved by the administration. Thereafter,
field trips will be minimal and may involve only parent
drivers and locations approved by the administration.
Visitors
Visitors to the school will be limited to the main office
entrance or to guided tours if necessary. Classroom
visitors, guest speakers, etc. will not be allowed unless
approved by the administration and only then after a
temperature check.
Assemblies/Chapels
Chapels are an integral part of the spiritual formation
program of Teays Valley Christian School. Chapels will
continue with modifications as needed. No other
assemblies will occur in the first 9 weeks of school.

COVID-19 Outbreak Plan
In the event of a positive case of COVID-19:
• If a confirmed case of COVID-19 occurs in a student or staff
member, the school will be shut down for two calendar days for
cleaning.
• The name of the individual who tests positive will not be made
public.
• That individual will be required to self-quarantine for 14 days.
The student will continue classes via virtual instruction for the
quarantine period.
• If an outbreak occurs a shut-down of a longer duration may be
necessary.
In the event of a State of Emergency:
• If a state of emergency is once again declared and schools close,
then TVCS will have to close and go virtual as well.
• It is our prayer and hope that this does not occur, but we are
prepared for that contingency.

OPTION 2: Blended Learning - In-Person and Online
OPTION 2: Blended Learning Using a Hybrid of In-Person
& Virtual Teaching & Learning
• This model is available for those families who are not yet
comfortable sending their child(ren) back to school full-time in the fall.
• Students can attend school part-time, following all the guidelines of
Model #1, and stay home part time, using the Google Classroom
platform through TVCS virtually.
• Details of this plan will vary greatly depending on the amount of time
at home or school, grade level, and home factors such as
internet access, proper device, and parental support. If this is an
option that you are interested in exploring, our planning team can
meet with you to custom design what works best for you.

OPTION 3: Exclusively Virtual Teaching & Learning
Option 3: Exclusively Virtual Teaching & Learning
• This option is available for those families who want to stay at home
full-time.
• This experience will far exceed the virtual instruction of the final
eight weeks of the 2019-2020 school year.
• The Virtual Teaching and Learning Option will have the same curriculum, rigor, and high expectations that you have come to expect from TVCS!

Technology Upgrades
To better facilitate all learning options, technology upgrades
were essential for re-entry in the fall.
• All students grades 3 through 12 will now have a device to facilitate a
technologically enhanced learning experience, promote digital
literacy, and simplify the instructional transition to a virtual
environment should it become necessary.
• Technological infrastructure upgrades have been made to
accommodate the new device requirements throughout the school.
