GUIDANCE REGARDLESS OF PHASE

PHASES ARE DETERMINED BY THE STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT

Class and Cohort Size:

● Class sizes and cohorting guidance will vary with phase and grade level (see below).

● Cohorts are encouraged to reduce contact with others.

● Cohorts reduce the number of exposed students/staff from a confirmed COVID-19 case and will result in fewer students/staff required to quarantine.

● Special service providers need not be included in the teacher-to-classroom ratios. These providers should minimize contact with non-client students and other adults in classrooms.

Physical Distance

(applies more strongly to Upper School):

● 6-foot between-student spacing reduces disease transmission risk and should be preferred; 3-foot distancing still provides substantial benefits and is acceptable in the context of a comprehensive disease control strategy.

● Teachers and other adult staff should make the greatest effort to adhere to 6-foot distancing, as their risk and disease transmission potential is higher than students.

● Create a seating chart and maintain children in assigned seats throughout the day as possible.

● Consider staggered arrival and pickup times to reduce crowding in entrances and hallways

4

Minimize Transmission Risk:

●Use physical barriers as appropriate to decrease risk of viral transmission.

● Refer symptomatic employees and students to a health care professional for evaluation and potential testing, as well as to the CDPHE Symptom Support tool. (Additional Guidance), and report to local public health agencies.2

● Identify a dedicated room or space to isolate symptomatic individuals until they can return home or to a health facility, cleaning and disinfecting appropriately between use. Locate isolation space apart from health office functions.

● Regularly clean and disinfect all high-touch surfaces and shared objects (Additional Guidance).

●Maximize ventilation and increase circulation of outdoor air, referencing ASHRAE guidance.

● Keep hand sinks stocked with soap and paper towels. Use signage to encourage frequent hand washing. Confirmed COVID-19

Ricks Level of Safety 6 – CDPHE Stay at HomeAll Grade Levels Out of School

• Distance learning is provided for Preschool through 8th grade

• Most likely would occur under executive order

Ricks Level of Safety 5 – CDPHE Stay at Home• Partial Closure

• Distance learning is provided for grade levels that cannot be in the building per CDPHE mandate

• Preschool/Prek onsite learning (as allowable by CDPHE and Colorado Department of Human Services Child Care licensing requirements) can occur

• Preschool/Prek distance learning can occur simultaneously

• Once we reach a distance learning participation threshold of less than 50% onsite participation, a community consult will occur on decision to move to Level 6.

• Onsite programming will remain in effect for essential personnel per CDPHE mandate and CDHS Child Care Licensing.

CDPHE: SAFER AT HOMEModerate COVID-19 incidence in the community

Cohorting guidance:

Students should remain in their primary classroom with the same cohort of students throughout the week to prevent full school closure if a case is identified.

Cohorts should have staggered recess periods, and movement to specialized classrooms (e.G. Science lab) should be coordinated to avoid mixing of cohorts.

To increase cohort feasibility, consider staggered or alternating in-person schedules (e.G. M-T/W-F, AM/PM, or alternate weeks), block scheduling, or hybrid of in-person and proctored remote learning.

The same staff may alternate during the day between two “partner cohorts.”

Cohorts may be realigned during the school year to support student educational needs. Longer durations of stable cohorting and changes that coincide with school breaks or dismissals enhance the effect of cohorting.

GRADE LEVEL CLASSROOM GUIDANCE

K - 5th

▪ Continue remote instruction if best for your community or;

▪ Up to four adults per classroom per day. So, only 4 teachers should rotate into one specific classroom per day.

▪ Students in grades K-5 do not need to meet the 6-foot distance in classrooms or other locations.

▪ Normal class sizes may occur.

6th - 8th

▪ Continue remote instruction if best for your community or;

▪ Up to three adults per classroom per day. So, only 3 teachers should rotate into one specific classroom per day.

▪ A firm student gathering number is not given because school classroom sizes differ between and among districts. Local schools should determine the appropriate gathering size while working towards 6-foot distance in a classroom. It is understood some adjustments for each school will need to occur.

Staff-Only Activities

▪ Remote or outdoors if possible; groups of 10 or fewer if physical attendance is required.

Ricks Level of Safety 4 -CDPHE- Safer at Home

Increased Social Distancing Numbers and Precautions

All practices from Level 1, 2, and 3 plus:

Based on total building occupation requirements as mandated by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (i.e. fewer than 50 occupants in the building or fewer than 10 students in a classroom) a staggered schedule/calendar may be implemented to further reduce the number of occupants in the building to achieve CDPHE target occupancy numbers.

▪ Calendar flex days may be implemented.

▪ Staggered attendance days may be implemented.

▪ A staggered daily schedule may be implemented.

▪ A designated schedule of student support servicescontinues onsite as needed.

Ricks Level of Safety 3 - CDPHE-Safer at Home

Social Distancing Numbers and PrecautionsAll practices from Level 1, 2 plus:

•Students aged 3 and above must wear face coverings.•Classes maintain their cohort groups throughout the day as dictated by CDPHE mandates,•Instruction continues to occur in the classroom; students may opt into virtual learning of classroom instruction; weekly check-ins are available.•Connections classrooms are used as temporary classrooms to enable small group sizes throughout the building; classrooms in the law school may be utilized to provide ample space and fewer students within the building.•Start and end of school day are staggered; separate entrances used. (See Fall 2020 Social Distancing Protocols document).•All students, teachers, and staff will have their temperatures taken before entering the Ricks building.•All shared common spaces are closed to class usage (US & ECcommons, libraries).•Recess is modified to maintain social distancing.•Teacher lounge is closed .•Lunch is eaten in the classroom.•Connections (Art, Music, Languages, and PE) push into self-contained classrooms.•Once we reach a distance learning participation threshold of less than 50%9 onsite participation, a community consult will occur on decision to move to Level 4.

CDPHE: PROTECT OUR NEIGHBORS Low COVID-19 incidence in the community

Cohorting Guidance:

If strict cohorts cannot occur, some cohorting is better than none. In circumstances where stricter cohorting is not feasible, the greatest practical degree of cohorting should be employed in conjunction with other layered risk reduction strategies.

Cohorts should have staggered recess periods, and movement times to specialized classrooms (E.G. Science lab) should be coordinated to avoid mixing of cohorts.

To increase cohort feasibility, consider staggered or alternating in-person schedules (E.G. M-T/W-F, AM/PM, or alternate weeks), block scheduling, or hybrid of in-person and proctored remote learning.

Be prepared to pivot to full-time remote learning for A class or entire school in case of an outbreak.

Cohorts may be realigned during the school year to support student educational needs. Longer durations of stable cohorting and

changes that coincide with school breaks or dismissals enhance the effect of cohorting.

GRADE LEVEL CLASSROOM GUIDANCE

K - 5th

Students in grades K-5 do not need to meet the 6-foot distance in classrooms or other locations.

Normal class sizes may occur.

Up to 4 staff may rotate among 1 cohort during the day.

6th - 8th

Normal class sizes with increased cohorting, while observing 6-foot spacing as feasible.

A firm student gathering number is not given because school classroom sizes differ between and among districts. Local schools should determine the appropriate gathering size while working towards 6-foot distance in a classroom. It is understood some adjustments for each school will need to occur.

If 6-foot distance is not attainable, maximize spacing while layering other transmission mitigation tactics, such as masks.

Staff-Only Activities - 50% of listed space capacity while maintaining 6-foot distancing.

DEFINITION OF A PROPER FACE COVERING

“Face Covering”

A covering made of cloth, fabric, or other soft or permeable material

The Face Covering needs to be without holes or valves.

Must cover the nose and mouth and surrounding areas of the lower face.

A Face Covering may be factory-made or may be handmade and improvised from ordinary household materials.

The Face Covering should fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face, include multiple layers of fabric, allow for breathing without restriction, and be able to be laundered and machine-dried without damage or change to shape.

Face Covering needs to cover the nose and mouth at all times and should remain in place until taken off safely.

Face Covering should be replaced when it becomes dirty, wet, and/or difficult to breathe through.

Taken from the Denver Face-Covering-Order

22

FACE COVERINGS AND PE/ATHLETICS

PE

Classes will be conducted outside as long as there are no weather restrictions (Rain, snow, temperature). Please make sure students are dressed appropriately. Masks will be required.

In cases of inclement weather, low respiration activities will be led by the PE teacher in the classroom.

Yoga, meditation, or stretching

23

Athletics Fall sports will be postponed for the first six weeks of the school year.

Ricks will follow the protocols outlined by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Colorado High School Activities Association, (CHSAA), the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) and the Sports Medicine Advisory Committee (SMAC).

Based on guidance issued in June 2020 from these organizations, we advise the use of simple cloth face coverings during exercise and athletic activities to slow the spread of the virus and help people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others.

Ricks requires that cloth face coverings be worn by students during practices and games when not engaging in vigorous activity. Cloth face coverings will be used in activities such as sitting on the bench during contests.
