REOPENING ENTIAT SCHOOLS On August 10, 2021 the Washington State Department of Health in conjunction with OSPI and Governor Inslee’s Office released the latest K-12 COVID-19 Requirements for the 2021-22 School Year. Below are frequently asked questions and an overview of the Health and Safety Protocols the Entiat Schools will follow for Students and Staff as we begin the 2021-22 school year.

2021-22 Health & Safety Protocols for Students and Staff

This information is subject to change and will be updated as requirements change.

The goal of the Entiat School District health and safety protocols for students and staff is to minimize transmission of COVID-19 in schools and maximize in-person instruction.

Masking/PPE

• All school personnel, volunteers, visitors and students are required to wear face coverings or an acceptable alternative (e.g. surgical mask or clear face shield with a drape) at school when inside, even if vaccinated.

• Staff and students are not required to wear masks while outside, regardless of vaccination status.

• Employees who provide proof of vaccination to the District Office may remove their mask when students are not in the room nor expected to be in the room and are with other employees distanced at least 6 feet apart.

• Employees who are not vaccinated are required to wear a mask at all times when inside, unless alone in their classroom/office/workspace and students are not present or expected to be present.

• Masks may be removed to eat and drink.

Physical Distancing

• For students, 3 feet of distance will be maintained in classrooms and other indoor facilities to the best of our ability.

• Desks and tables do not need to face the same direction.

• Staff must remain 6 feet from students and other staff when possible. 6 ft. physical distancing should only be broken when academically necessary or for safety purposes.

• During high-risk activities, when increased exhalation or aerosolization occurs, such as PE or exercise, singing or playing instruments and cheering and shouting. The activities should be moved outdoors or to large, well-ventilated spaces whenever possible so distance can be maximized to at least 3 feet.

Quarantine

Fully Vaccinated Staff/Students Exposure: Staff/Students who are fully vaccinated do NOT need to quarantine after close contact with someone who had COVID-19 unless they have symptoms. Those who have had a documented positive COVID-19 test in the past three months Exposure: No quarantine, but must meet the following criteria:

• A documented positive test (provided to the District Office) within the previous 3 months and has recovered and remains without COVID-19 symptoms (for example, cough, shortness of breath)

Sick Students/Staff

If you are sick, stay home. Any student or staff who reports COVID-19 like symptoms must be immediately isolated from others, sent home, and referred to diagnostic testing as soon as feasible.

• Staff who test positive or have a need for quarantine must contact the District Office.

• Students who test positive or have a need to quarantine must contact the school nurse.

• School staff will work with parents and students to make learning accessible during quarantine.

REAPERTURA DE LAS ESCUELAS DE ENTIAT El 10 de agosto de 2021, el Departamento de Salud del Estado de Washington junto con OSPI y la Oficina del Gobernador Inslee publicaron los últimos requisitos de COVID-19 para K-12 para el año escolar 2021-22. A continuación, se encuentran las preguntas frecuentes y una descripción general de los protocolos de salud y seguridad que las escuelas de Entiat seguirán para los estudiantes y el personal al comenzar el año escolar 2021-22.

2021-22 Protocolos de salud y seguridad para estudiantes y personal

Esta información está sujeta a cambios y se actualizará a medida que cambien los requisitos.

El objetivo de los protocolos de salud y seguridad del Distrito Escolar de Entiat para los estudiantes y el personal es minimizar la transmisión de COVID-19 en las escuelas y maximizar la instrucción en persona.

Mascaras / PPE

• Se requiere que todo el personal de la escuela, voluntarios, visitantes y estudiantes usen cubrebocas o una alternativa aceptable (por ejemplo, máscara quirúrgica o protector facial transparente con una cortina) en la escuela cuando estén adentro, incluso si están vacunados.

• No se requiere que el personal y los estudiantes usen máscaras mientras están afuera, sin importar el estado de vacunación.

•  Los empleados que proporcionen prueba de vacunación a la Oficina del Distrito pueden quitarse la máscara cuando los estudiantes no estén en el salón ni se espere que estén en el salón y estén con otros empleados a una distancia de al menos 6 pies de distancia.

• Los empleados que no están vacunados deben usar una máscara en todo momento cuando estén adentro, a menos que estén solos en su salón de clases/oficina/espacio de trabajo y los estudiantes no estén presentes o se espere que estén presentes.

• Las máscaras se pueden quitar para comer y beber.

Distanciamiento Físico

• Para los estudiantes, se mantendrán 3 pies de distancia en los salones de clases y otras instalaciones interiores lo mejor que podamos.

• No es necesario que los escritorios y las mesas estén orientados en la misma dirección.

• El personal debe permanecer a 6 pies de los estudiantes y otros miembros del personal cuando sea posible. La distancia física de 6 pies solo debe romperse cuando sea académicamente necesario o por motivos de seguridad.

• Durante actividades de alto riesgo, cuando se produce un aumento de la exhalación, como educación física o ejercicio, cantar o tocar instrumentos y gritar y animar. Las actividades deben trasladarse al aire libre o en espacios grandes y bien ventilados siempre que sea posible para que la distancia se pueda maximizar a al menos 3 pies.

Cuarentena

Personal / estudiantes completamente vacunados Exposición: El personal / estudiantes que están completamente vacunados NO necesitan ponerse en cuarentena después de un contacto cercano con alguien que tuvo COVID-19 a menos que tengan síntomas. Una Prueba de COVID-19 todavía necesitara ser hecha 3-5 días después del contacto cercano.

Aquellos que han tenido una prueba COVID-19 positiva documentada en los últimos tres meses Exposición: No es necesario poner en cuarentena, pero debe cumplir con los siguientes criterios:

• Una prueba positiva documentada (proporcionada a la oficina del distrito) dentro de los 3 meses anteriores y se ha recuperado y permanece sin síntomas de COVID-19 (por ejemplo, tos, dificultad para respirar)

Estudiantes / personal enfermos

Si está enfermo, quédese en casa. Cualquier estudiante o personal que reporte síntomas similares a COVID-19 debe ser aislado inmediatamente de los demás, enviado a casa y hacerse la prueba lo antes posible.

• El personal que dé positivo en la prueba o necesite una cuarentena debe comunicarse con la Oficina del Distrito.

• Los estudiantes que den positivo en la prueba o tengan la necesidad de ponerse en cuarentena deben comunicarse con la enfermera de la escuela.

• El personal de la escuela trabajará con los padres y los estudiantes para que el aprendizaje sea accesible durante la cuarentena.

SCHOOL NURSE MESSAGE

MENSAJE DE LA ENFERMERA DE LA ESCUELA

Hello Entiat Families!

As we resume Full-Time School, it is time to review Health Issues.

First, we must address Covid-19/Delta Variant. As you may have read, this variant is very contagious. Our school district has

decided to provide Rapid Covid-19 Testing for students with symptoms and /or exposure. This test will ONLY be done with written

permission from parent of guardian.

The Rapid Test is called BINAXNOW and is free to our school.

Our Students have other Health Issues that need to be addressed as well. It is very important to have necessary medication and

paperwork in order that medication may be given to your student. You will be given a Student Health Form in your back-to-school

packet that must be completed and returned. A Parent Designated Advocate is strongly recommended and typically includes

school secretaries, principal, superintendent, teacher, or other school employee for emergencies.

MOST SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUES INCLUDE (but not limited to):

ASTHMA, SEIZURES, DIABETES, AND SEVERE ALLERGIC REACTION (Anaphylaxis).

Also, I cannot stress enough how important the Student Health Form is for your student. This information is reviewed by your

student’s school nurse and teacher (if necessary). You may receive a call from me about the information offered as it vital that I

know your child and connect with their family!

I can be contacted via email at; jblackschmidt@entiatschools.org or (509) 888-5176

Sincerely,

Nurse Judy, MSN, FNP-BC

¡Hola Familias de Entiat!

La escuela está regresando a tiempo completo, y es tiempo de revisar los problemas de salud.

Primero, debemos tocar el tema de Covid-19 / Delta Variante. Como habrás leído, esta variante es muy contagiosa. Nuestro

distrito escolar ha decidido proporcionar la prueba rápida de Covid-19 para los estudiantes con síntomas y/o exposición. Esta

prueba SOLO se realizará con el permiso por escrito de los padres o tutor.

La prueba rápida se llama BINAXNOW y es gratis para nuestra escuela .

Nuestros estudiantes tienen otros problemas de salud que necesitan ser tratados también. Es muy importante tener

la medicación y el papeleo necesarios para que se le pueda administrar la medicación a su hija/hijo. Se le entregará un Forma de

Salud para estudiantes en su paquete de regreso a la escuela que debe ser completado y devuelto. Se recomienda

un defensor designado por los padres y generalmente incluye a las secretarias de la escuela, el director, el superintendente, el

maestro u otro empleado de la escuela para emergencias.

LOS PROBLEMAS DE SALUD MÁS SERIOS INCLUYEN (pero no limitado a lo siguiente):

ASMA, CONVULSIONES, DIABETES Y REACCIÓN ALÉRGICA GRAVE (Anafilaxia).

Además, no podemos estresar lo importante que es la Forma de salud del estudiante para su estudiante. Esta información es

revisada por la enfermera y el maestro de su estudiante (si es necesario). ¡Es posible que reciba una llamada mía acerca de la

información, ya que es vital que conozca a su hijo y me conecte con su familia!

Me pueden contactar por correo electrónico a; jblackschmidt@entiatschools.org O al 509-888-5176.

Atentamente,

Enfermera Judy, MSN, FNP-BC

tights.

If a student has a pattern of dress code

violations, school administration will

un vestuario diferente o que use un

artículo de la oficina de la escuela para

violaciones al código de vestimenta, la

administración de la escuela se

comunicará con los padres para compartir

la preocupación y trabajar juntos para

resolver el problema.

distraerse a sí mismo y / oa otros del

aprendizaje).

SCHOOL MEALS AT SCHOOL ARE BACK and MEALS REMAIN FREE!

School breakfast and lunch will once again be offered daily in the Commons/Cafeteria for all Entiat students. (The Grab ‘n Go meals served during our COVID hybrid schedules will no longer be provided.) The District will follow all health and safety protocols during meal periods, ensuring that students maximize physical distancing during meals and that lunch tables and serving areas will be sanitized as recommended by the Dept. of Health.

Entiat Schools will operate under a meal program authorized by the USDA that allows ALL students to receive school meals FREE through the 2021-22 school year regardless of their income or meal status.

Students will still need to pay for a la carte items and individual milks and can charge these items to their school meal accounts.

Even though USDA has extended free meals for all students for the year, some families will still need to fill out an Application for Free or Reduced Meals to determine the status of your child/children in case the P-EBT program is expanded into 2021-22 and to help establish the Free/Reduced status level for the whole school district. The District’s Free/Reduced level is used to determine district eligibility for other state and federal programs and funding, so we urge you to submit the application if you receive one in your child’s back-to-school packet. (Some students will be automatically coded Free or Reduced through the Direct Certification process and will not receive an application in their packet or need to submit one.)

El desayuno y almuerzo escolar se ofrecerán una vez más todos los días en el Cafetería para todos los

estudiantes de Entiat. (Las comidas para llevar que fueron ofrecidos durante el último año escolar ya

no están disponibles). El Distrito seguirá todos los policías de salud y seguridad durante los períodos de

comida, asegurando que los estudiantes maximizan la distancia física durante las comidas y que las

mesas de almuerzo y las áreas de servicio serán desinfectado como lo recomienda el Departamento de

Salud.

Las escuelas de Entiat operarán bajo un programa de comidas autorizado por el USDA que permite que

TODOS los estudiantes reciban comidas escolares GRATIS durante el año escolar 2021-22, sin importar

sus ingresos o estado de comidas.

Los estudiantes todavía tendrán que pagar para alimentos adicionales o para leches individuales y pueden cargarlos a su cuenta de

comidas escolares.

Aunque el USDA ha extendido las comidas gratuitas para todos los estudiantes durante el año escolar, algunas familias aún

necesitarán completar una Aplicación de Comidas Gratis o Reducidas para determinar el estado de su niño/niños en caso de que

sigue el programa P-EBT en 2021-22 y para ayudar a establecer el nivel de estatus Gratis/Reducido para todo el distrito escolar. El

nivel Gratis/Reducido del Distrito se utiliza para determinar la elegibilidad del distrito para otros programas y fondos estatales y

federales, por lo que le recomendamos que envíe la aplicación si recibe una en el paquete de regreso a clases de su hijo. (Algunos

estudiantes se codificarán automáticamente como Gratis o Reducido a través del proceso de Certificación Directa y no recibirán

una aplicación en su paquete y ni tendrán que enviar una)

¡COMIDAS ESCOLARES ESTÁN DE VUELTA y PERMANECERÁ GRATIS!

CHANGE TO ASB CARDS AND ATHLETIC EVENT TICKET FEES:

The Washington State Legislature passed HB1660 that requires that school districts waive all fees for attendance at or participation in any optional, non-credit extracurricular event of cultural, social, recreational, or athletic nature for students who are low income. The law also requires the districts to reduce fees for students’ family members and nonstudents over the age of 65 who, by reason of their low income, may be unable to pay the fees to attend these type of events. The purpose of this law was to remove financial obstacles that would potentially prevent students and their families from being able to fully participate in extracurricular activities.

The district’s percentage of students who are considered low income is around 65%. To avoid the complications of operating separate systems for selling ASB Cards and Event Tickets to both non-low and low income students and family members, in July the Entiat School Board adopted Policy 3510 that eliminated both ASB Card fees and Event Ticket Fees for ALL students and non-students completely, regardless of income. Elimination of participation fees (ASB Card Fees) will make it easier financially for ALL students to participate in extracurricular activities. The District hopes that by removing attendance fees (ticket charges) for athletic events (high school football, volleyball and basketball; track and tennis and middle school events already do not charge ticket fees), attendance and support for these activities from the community at large will increase. Local enrichment levy funds as well as additional monies generated by Associated Student Body (ASB) fundraising will be used to make up for the loss of ASB revenue resulting from no ASB Card and ticket sales.
