3/9/21 1 2021-2022 - Building Safety Professional Development Plan - Purpose Statement: The purpose of this document is to have a detailed guide for a safe school year. It will be used as a centerpiece for Professional Development and as a resource document for health and safety protocols. All staff will be trained in this safety document, all families will receive a parent version of this document, and all students returning to campus will receive specific instructions based on the elements outlined in this document. This is intended to be a living document and will be revised as necessary throughout our safe re-opening efforts. General Principles: All staff will be trained through the presentation of this document. All staff and students, if you are showing symptoms of COVID-19 you must stay home. Buildings will be stocked with PPE (detailed list below) such as masks for adults and children (face shields as necessary), hand sanitizer, disposable gloves, gowns, and disinfectant sprays/wipes. 3-foot physical distancing is the goal at all times. We recognize there may be times when students or staff are closer for brief periods of time (i.e., bus dismissal, hallways, exit/entry of doorways). Students and staff will not be closer than 3 feet for more than 15 minutes at a time. Snohomish School District policy for COVID case procedures will be used at all times for the purposes of communicating with Snohomish County Health Department, staff, and community regarding COVID cases and determining close contacts. Masks will be worn indoors at all times (hallways, classrooms, restrooms, gyms etc.) While outdoors masks do not need to be worn. Should a student need a mask break during class they will be allowed to go outside for a very brief amount of time. Masks breaks are defined in this document. Lunch schedule will be adjusted to include two lunches but will be distanced in the cafeteria and Main Gym. Students will need to choose a seat and return to the same seat each day. Students will wash hands, or use hand sanitizer, whenever they need to, examples: return to their classroom including school arrival, bathroom use, prepare for lunch, or directed by teacher. Appropriate signage is displayed throughout SHS indicating walk routes (see maps below), physical distancing, proper handwashing, and required face coverings. Enhanced cleaning, disinfection of schools and busses will be conducted. Air ventilation/circulation and air filter upgrades have been implemented. We have adjusted classroom, lunchroom, and restroom procedures to promote physical distancing of 3 feet recommended by the Center for Disease Control, Washington State Department of Health and Snohomish County Health Authorities. Water bottle filing stations are operational and accessible to students. School visitors, parents, and volunteers and guest speakers are only permitted on campus with proof of vaccination and approval of the Admin Team. We are still working on a clear process for this. We are not accepting items students “forget” or need for after school activities. All questions about health/safety protocols can be directed to COVID Coordinator (Kris Pieper) or administration (Eric, Anne, Steve, Mark, and Nick)

2021-2022 - Building Safety Professional Development Plan -

Purpose Statement:

The purpose of this document is to have a detailed guide for a safe school year. It will be used as a centerpiece for Professional Development and as a resource document for health and safety protocols. All staff will be trained in this safety document, all families will receive a parent version of this document, and all students returning to campus will receive specific instructions based on the elements outlined in this document.

This is intended to be a living document and will be revised as necessary throughout our safe re-opening efforts.

General Principles:

• All staff will be trained through the presentation of this document. • All staff and students, if you are showing symptoms of COVID-19 you must stay home. • Buildings will be stocked with PPE (detailed list below) such as masks for adults and children (face shields as

necessary), hand sanitizer, disposable gloves, gowns, and disinfectant sprays/wipes. • 3-foot physical distancing is the goal at all times. We recognize there may be times when students or staff are

closer for brief periods of time (i.e., bus dismissal, hallways, exit/entry of doorways). • Students and staff will not be closer than 3 feet for more than 15 minutes at a time. • Snohomish School District policy for COVID case procedures will be used at all times for the purposes of

communicating with Snohomish County Health Department, staff, and community regarding COVID cases and determining close contacts.

• Masks will be worn indoors at all times (hallways, classrooms, restrooms, gyms etc.) While outdoors masks do not need to be worn. Should a student need a mask break during class they will be allowed to go outside for a very brief amount of time. Masks breaks are defined in this document.

• Lunch schedule will be adjusted to include two lunches but will be distanced in the cafeteria and Main Gym. Students will need to choose a seat and return to the same seat each day.

• Students will wash hands, or use hand sanitizer, whenever they need to, examples: return to their classroom including school arrival, bathroom use, prepare for lunch, or directed by teacher.

• Appropriate signage is displayed throughout SHS indicating walk routes (see maps below), physical distancing, proper handwashing, and required face coverings.

• Enhanced cleaning, disinfection of schools and busses will be conducted. • Air ventilation/circulation and air filter upgrades have been implemented. • We have adjusted classroom, lunchroom, and restroom procedures to promote physical distancing of 3 feet

recommended by the Center for Disease Control, Washington State Department of Health and Snohomish County Health Authorities. Water bottle filing stations are operational and accessible to students.

• School visitors, parents, and volunteers and guest speakers are only permitted on campus with proof of vaccination and approval of the Admin Team. We are still working on a clear process for this. We are not accepting items students “forget” or need for after school activities.

• All questions about health/safety protocols can be directed to COVID Coordinator (Kris Pieper) or administration (Eric, Anne, Steve, Mark, and Nick)

Instructional Guidance

Action Steps (Individual Responsible)

• Homework expectations: No more than 20 mins a day per class • Grading: Be sure to read each teachers syllabus for expectations • Providing students access to the restroom must be done, without fail, by having them sign

out and back in again on the provided clipboard and document

Tech Concerns • Continue to use Canvas • Headsets: Encourage students to bring their own • Laptops: School issued is the best choice, students bringing charged laptops to school each

day they are present. We have very limited loaner laptops. Students are responsible for charging their own/issued laptops. Students should only have the needed programs opened. Example: YouTube running in the background all day will kill your battery

• Future Ready cohort carts are not available, some computer labs are available for sign up • Videos should be shown from the teacher computer/smart board

Students Quarantined • Students should access canvas for their assignments • Students/parents may also request homework through the attendance office

Music Classes: • Universal masking with appropriate material – MERV13 or 3-layer medical face mask or

similar material – is required by all students and staff in performing arts classes and while participating in performing arts activities. Masking with MERV13 or 3-layer medical face mask or similar material is the best way of reducing aerosols from circulating in indoor spaces.

• Aerosol-producing musicians, e.g., singers, woodwinds and brass, speech/debate, and theater performers are required to wear appropriate masks/face coverings and/or use appropriate bell covers while performing. Woodwinds and brass performers may remove their face coverings/masks when performing on their instrument and must replace their face covering/mask during non-performance time. Face coverings/masks with slits are recommended but not required.

• Universal masking with appropriate material – MERV13 or 3-layer medical face mask or similar material – is required in general music and elementary classrooms when singing is performed. Teachers should provide students with singers’ masks to replace their cloth masks in these settings. When not singing, students should wear cloth masks as required in other classrooms.

• Bell covers with appropriate material – MERV 13 or 3-layer medical face mask or similar material – are required for brass and woodwind instruments when indoors. Bell covers are recommended when playing outdoors but not required.

• Practice good hygiene collecting water condensation from brass instruments. Consider using “puppy pads” for students to empty spit valves rather than emptying directly on the floor.

• Ensure that all students have access to their chosen performing arts course. Space constraints should not limit access to these classes. Distancing should be at least 3 feet, if possible, and more if space permits. Distancing of at least 3 feet is also recommended outdoors.

• Reduce shared equipment to the degree possible. Have students use hand sanitizer before using shared equipment like music stands. If hand sanitizer is readily available and used often, shared equipment does not need to be sanitized between each group; regular daily cleaning is sufficient. For shared instruments, students should have their own mouthpieces. Allow the instrument to sit for 24 hours between uses.

• Maximize ventilation of the space as much as possible. If a space is smaller and/or not well-ventilated, use portable HEPA air cleaners to supplement. See also Ventilation above for best practices to allow appropriate time for air change.

Theatre/Drama/Speech/Debate: Students, teachers, and support staff must follow all requirements within this document when participating in school-sponsored performing arts activities and performances, even if not in a K-12 classroom setting. Performances • For performances, audience members should be seated in “family units” and those small groups should be spaced at least 3 feet apart. All audience members must wear a mask, regardless of vaccination status.

• Universal masking is required during performances for participants, including appropriate face coverings and bell covers on woodwind and brass instruments. Travel for Performing Arts • Travel trips must follow CDC’s order for all riders and drivers to wear a mask on buses or other public transportation, regardless of vaccination status. Seat cohorts together on the bus and separate the cohorts by at least 3 feet to the degree possible. Increase ventilation by opening windows as weather permits. Testing Requirements for Performing Arts • Any participant with a positive test must be excluded from the event and removed from the venue. See Responding to Cases or Suspected Cases of COVID-19 for more information. Positive test results must be reported to the local health jurisdiction as outlined in the Reporting Cases and Outbreaks and Working with Public Health section. Contact tracing should be performed per guidance in the What to Do if Someone is a Close Contact of Someone with COVID-19 section. The performing arts group should work with local public health to determine how to approach isolation, quarantine, and 18 further testing. • Unvaccinated students, teachers, or other support personnel identified as close contacts should quarantine immediately, even if they recently had a negative test. • Fully vaccinated students, teachers, or other support personnel identified as close contacts should be tested 3-5 days following a known exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 and wear a mask for 14 days or until they receive a negative test result. They should isolate and follow appropriate guidance if they test positive. If they develop symptoms consistent with COVID-19, they should isolate themselves from others, be clinically evaluated for COVID-19, and tested for SARS-CoV2 if indicated. The symptomatic fully vaccinated person should inform their healthcare provider of their vaccination status at the time of presentation to care. • All point of care test results should be reported to the DOH in accordance with guidance available at the Reporting COVID-19 Test Results for Point-of-Care Testing Facilities site. PE Classes: Outdoor when possible Physical Education classes should be held outside whenever possible.
