Priorities
● Health and safety of all students and staff● Student learning and social-emotional well-being● Supports for students, staff, and families
“The effect size of teacher relationship (Hattie) can overcome just about all other factors in improving
student learning. Students are missing the relationships that they were able to build with their teachers
during in-person instruction, and it is affecting their engagement and mental state.”
“In-person lends itself to opportunities to teach students soft skills and organizational skills that are
much more difficult in a distance learning environment.”
“Many of us have read the pros and cons of re-opening schools, but the bottom line is to be able to do it
safely in order to be able to meet the needs of all of our students, both academic as well as their social
emotional needs in a safe, supportive learning environment and provide them the critical services that they
need during this time; especially those who are not performing on grade level and are falling further and
further behind each day with distance learning.”

To-do before bringing students back to campus:

● Setup tables for used items to be disinfected/fogged● Establish isolation room/area (not the Health Office)● Mark entrance/exits, directions,● Setup hand sanitizing stations at entrance points● Mark closed communal areas (MPR, library, etc.)● Arrange library book check-out system (similar systems)● Close water fountains, keep bottle filling stations open● Turn off hand dryers in restrooms● Playground rules● Symptom checking system implementation● print and display postings● Create information for staff/parents about daily protocols (hand sanitizing)
Per the MOU with FCEA Teachers Union, all of the following safety guidelines will be in place prior to in-person instruction.
● Providing PPE, face coverings, face shields with neck drapes● Running exhaust fans in staff restrooms during work hours● Utilizing check in/out forms at each site● HVAC systems operate on the mode which delivers the freshest air changes per hour as safely permitted● Installing Merv 13 filters
