INTRODUCTION We have created this plan to aid in navigating the reestablishment of our school where employees, students, and families feel safe and to reduce the impact of COVID-19 conditions upon returning to the district.

The following operational guidelines from the Texas Education Agency has taken into consideration in the development of our campus safety plans:

• All instruction should be held in spaces that allow desks to be placed at least six feet apart when feasible.

• If more than one group is using a shared space that is large enough to allow for students in all groups and their respective desks to be six feet apart, then multiple groups of individuals can be in the space together. However, each group must be separated from the other by an empty space of at least 30 feet when feasible. All students will be seated facing forward when feasible.

• The groups should not combine for activities at any time. (Two groups of ten students and one teacher can meet at the opposite ends of a cafeteria, if students can all be seated at least six feet apart; three groups of 11 students can meet in a large gymnasium, separated by 30 feet, with one teacher circulating between the groups to support online learning; and other iterations are also possible, so long as they meet the requirements for distancing when feasible.)

• Whenever possible and developmentally appropriate, there should be no group or pair work that would require students to regularly interact within six feet, recognizing that this is not possible for early childhood students and some students with disabilities.

• Students must not be brought together in assemblies, field trips, or other group gatherings outside of their class group, unless the distancing of 30 feet between groups can be maintained.

EMPLOYEE AND STUDENT SAFETY

VISITOR RESTRICTIONS COPPERFIELD ELEMENTARY will not allow normal visitation to our campus until further notice – (see Section 2).

SECTION 1: FACILITY SAFETY PLANS


Campus and Classroom Capacity

The campus has designated classrooms that will allow for the practice of social distancing and minimize interactions of large groups.

All students will remain in self-contained classrooms in order to create a standard classroom that accommodates social distancing and small group learning.

If students are in departmentalized schedules, teachers will rotate to the classrooms and the students will remain in their small group classrooms.

Students that are medically fragile or have individualized needs will have specific plans created to ensure safety within parameters that are created specifically for the student by the ARD committee.

Entrances and Exits

Entrances and exits have been designated in order to create clear pathways and avoid the congregation of large groups. Entrance and exit points are identified as the following:

• Main Entrance: All staff members will enter the main entrance or entrance by the cafeteria after they have completed their electronic self-screening checklist. Social distancing is expected at both entrance areas. Signs are posted clearly defining and reminders in order to be 6 ft apart.

• Cafeteria Drive Area - 6:45-7:30: Bus Riders Drop-Off/ Pick-Up • Front Entrance of school: Walkers Drop-Off/Pick-Up Families with Student with

Multiple Grade Levels


Health Holding Areas

When a student or staff member develops any symptoms of illness consistent with COVID-19 (e.g., new onset or worsening cough OR shortness of breath OR at least two

of the following symptoms: fever of 100.0°F, chills, muscle ache, headache, sore throat,

loss of taste or smell) we will take the following general precautions:

• The student will be removed from the classroom and assessed by the school

nurse and contact the parent/guardian. • Isolation rooms have been identified in the event a student or staff member

becomes ill during the school day. • A campus designee will facilitate the movement of the other students in the class

to a new space in order to allow the contaminated room to be closed off and sanitized using district cleaning protocols.

• A campus designee will monitor student or staff member and follow the following guidance:

o Maintain 6 feet social distancing o Wear appropriate PPE including facial mask and gloves o The designated area will be closed off o Disinfecting protocols will be followed immediately

Safety Signage

Safety signage will be posted throughout the interior and exterior of the building reminding staff and students to follow safety guidelines including social distancing and handwashing.

Examples of signage:


Sanitizing Stations

• Sanitizing stations will be located at the designated entrances and exits. Each station has been designated in order to create and support consistent pathways that avoid the congregation of large groups.

• Teachers, staff, and families should self-screen before coming to campus. If any risk factors are present in the self-screen process, the individual should stay home and report risks to the campus administrator.

• Students and staff members are asked to report any symptoms that occur during the school day or several hours after leaving the campus.

• Hand sanitizer will be located at each main entrance (front and cafeteria entrance) and will be required to be used by all.

Health Check-In for Employees

• Electronic health screenings will be provided through the technology department daily. Employees who do not pass the self-screening will be identified to campus administration.


Hallways – Flow of Traffic

Designated pathways have been determined based on the flow of traffic and in alignment with our entrance and exit areas. Please see our campus maps for specificity.

• Students and staff will walk along the right side of each hallway. DesignatedSigns will be along each wall indicating where students are to stand when inthe hallway.

Restrooms

Restrooms have been designated for both student and adult usage in order to avoid congregation and support clear pathways. Designations are located on the campus map. Restrooms breaks are built into the daily schedule for K-5th grade. Pre-Kinder classrooms are equipped with the restrooms. Restrooms will be cleaned every two hours with touch-ups in between.

Campus Maps

Our daily safety plans will provide guidance for cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting our school in order to minimize and control the spread of illness and disease.

FACILITIES CLEANING The safety of our employees and students are our first priority. Upon reopening, our schools have been completely cleaned and disinfected and we will continue to adhere to all necessary safety precautions. In addition to the deep clean off the office and school before employees and students return, the cleaning steps outlined below are to be taken to disinfect workplace surfaces, chairs, tables, etc. to protect employees and reduce the risk of spread of infection. We will require employees to maintain this safety standard by continuously cleaning and disinfecting based on the frequency stated below.


Cleaning Protocols

There are three lines of defense to decrease the spread of pathogens in a school environment:

• Personal hygiene

• Regular cleaning procedures

• Proper disinfection and sanitizing procedures

• The difference between cleaning, disinfection and sanitizing is discussed below:

Personal Hygiene, Cleaning, Disinfections

Cleaning- Removes germs, dirt, and impurities from surfaces or objects. Cleaning works by using soap (or detergent) and water to physically remove germs from surfaces. This process does not necessarily kill germs, but by removing them, it lowers their numbers and the risk of spreading infection (CDC, 2016).

Disinfecting - Kills germs on surfaces or objects. Disinfecting works by using chemicals to kill germs on surfaces or objects. This process does not necessarily clean dirty surfaces or remove germs, but by killing germs on a surface after cleaning, it can further lower the risk of spreading infection (CDC, 2016).

Sanitizing - Lowers the number of germs on surfaces or objects to a safe level, as judged by public health standards or requirements. This process works by either cleaning or disinfecting surfaces or objects to lower the risk of spreading infection (CDC, 2016).

Personal Hygiene- The spread of pathogens can be minimized in schools be employing good personal hygiene, regular cleaning and the proper use of disinfectants. The use of good personal hygiene by students, staff and visitors can greatly reduce the spread of pathogens in the school.

Proper hand-washing hygiene and sanitization. All building occupants will have access to adequate soap, water and drying mechanisms (paper towels). Adequate training and signage on proper hand-washing techniques are posted through-out the school. Explicit training for handwashing will be provided by the school nurse and monitored by supervising adults. In addition, sanitization will be placed in classrooms to include alcohol- based sanitizer.

SECTION 2: DAILY SAFETY PLANS


Custodians, Teachers, Office staff & Administration

Guidance for Cleaning and Disinfecting Routine cleaning and disinfecting is key to maintaining a safe environment for faculty, students, and staff. Custodians will clean the restrooms every two hours and do touch ups in between.

• Cleaning removes dirt and most germs and is usually done with soap and water. • Disinfecting kills most germs, depending on the type of chemical, and only when

the chemical product is used as directed on the label.

The following are general precautions for cleaning staff, given that community transmission of COVID-19 is occurring:

▪ Staff should not touch their face while cleaning and only after they can wash hands after cleaning. ▪ Cleaning staff should thoroughly wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds after gloves are removed.

▪ Staff who are responsible for cleaning and disinfecting will receive proper training regarding the use disinfectants safely and effectively and to safely clean up potentially infectious materials and body fluids – blood, vomit, feces, and urine.

PERSONAL WORKSPACE/CLASSROOM SCHOOLISD staff will use the signage provided to indicate the room for sanitizing and disinfecting. All teachers and students are asked not to visit another classroom outside of their team or grade level. Employees are encouraged to disinfect their own personal workspace (teacher desk, phone, etc) throughout the day, giving special attention to commonly touched surfaces.

SHARED WORKSPACE Employees are encouraged to disinfect their own workspace multiple times throughout the day, giving special attention to commonly touched surfaces. Copperfield Elementary has alcohol-based hand sanitizers throughout the workplace and in common areas. Cleaning sprays and wipes are also available to clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces such as telephones and keyboards. The Copperfield Custodial Team will clean all workspaces at their designated cleaning time.

Please note that proper equipment such as acceptable disinfectant and PPE should be used when cleaning individual workspaces.

Classroom Procedures

All staff members will be expected to adhere to the TEA guidelines for social distancing in the classroom. Such procedures will include:

• Students will enter one at a time into their classroom. • Students will sit at their assigned desk/table. • Students will sanitize their hands prior to entry into classroom. • Students will wash their hands prior to eating a meal, after eating a meal.


• Students will sanitize their hands prior to exiting the classroom.

Meal Distribution

All meals (breakfast and lunch) will be served and consumed in the classroom. We are currently pending additional information from the Food Services Department regarding distribution procedures for meals.

For students that would like a school meal, Monday and Thursday will be meal kit distribution between the hours of 8:30 – 9:00am

Safe Training for Staff and Students

Training students and adults in the proper use of facial masks and 6-feet social distancing guidelines and the importance of not sharing drinks, cups, food and paper towels etc.

Student / Safe Expectations

The following expectations should be followed and modeled by all employees and students:

▪ Wear a face mask ▪ Hand sanitizer is to be used frequently throughout the day ▪ Monitor student handwashing after meals and restroom use

Student Pick-Up / Drop-Off Procedures

Parents must wait outside of the building during drop-off and pick-up. Entry to common areas or classrooms will not be allowed.

Entrances and Exits

Entrances and exits have been designated in order to create clear pathways and avoid the congregation of large groups.

Students entering the building for the school day – In an effort to keep all students safe, students will not be allowed to be dropped off early before 7:00am and congregate and play in front of the school. As there is no supervision, and it is important that they keep a safe distance during this time.

Pre-Kinder and Kinder Parent Drop-Off: Area B – (Front School Courtyard)


1st, 2nd and 5th grade Parent Drop-Off: Area C (Gym Courtyard)

3rd and 4th grade, Walkers, and Parent Drop-off: Area A (Front of School)

Bus Riders: Dropped of at Bus Loop, enter campus through Area A (Cafeteria area)

Multiple Student Families: For safety and efficiency, it is preferable that students are dropped off at their assigned locations listed above. However, parents may choose to drop students off together. In this case, the students should be dropped off at the younger sibling’s drop-off area.

For example, if there is a student in 4th grade with a sibling in 2nd grade, they would both be dropped off at the courtyard by the gym to enter through Area C.


Students exiting the building for the school day -

Car Riders - Please remain in car (Must have visible signage of student name)

Walkers: Escorted out gym courtyard area

***Note: If you meet your child on foot at dismissal, they will be considered a walker and will exit through the gym courtyard doors.

Parent walk-ups will not be permitted onto the campus.

Parents will need to meet their children toward the end of the sidewalk by the fence to walk them home.

Multiple Student Families: If the older sibling’s pick-up area is different from the younger sibling’s pick-up area, the older sibling will join the younger sibling. For example, if there is a student in 4th grade with a sibling in 2nd grade, he would report to the Gym Driveway for pickup with the 2nd grader.

Bus Riders: Escorted to Bus Loop for bus pick up.

See map below.


VISITORS ON CAMPUS The safety of our staff and students remains the district’s primary concern. To help prevent the spread of the virus and reduce the risk of exposure to our staff and students, we are conducting a simple screening questionnaire. Participation is important to help us take precautionary measures to protect you and everyone in the building. VISITOR SELF-SCREENING FORM / Self Declaration by Visitor. All visitor access will require clearance by the campus principal or designee prior to arrival.

The following guidelines will be communicated to parents regarding steps access to the building:

• The parent/visitor must call the school number prior to entering and identify the reason for the visit.

• All visitors will be required to complete screener questions. • Visitors will not be allowed in the office. All visitors will be screened at the front

door of the main entrance before entering the building. A two walkie talkie hands free monitor will be used for communicating to the front office.

• Only one adult will be allowed in the building per student. No family groups will be permitted in the building.


• The School Nurse will notify the front office if a parent is expected due to an ill student.
