Self Certification Why must we self certify student each day they are in school?

We have been working hard to provide a safe and healthy learning environment in preparation for the return to learn in-person instructional model.

With that said, it is important that our parents help us by ensuring that your child is Covid symptom free.

Hallway/Classroom/Bathroom Social Distancing

Quarantine Room/Restrooms

Restroom Breaks and Safety Procedures ●

If a student needs to use the washroom, they will have to notify their teacher and the teacher will notify the office. Students will be escorted to the bathroom to ensure social distancing requirements are met.

Concurrent Teaching Model ●

● ● ●

In-person and remote - Students who are at home on the remote model will still be able to see their teacher teach live while students are in the classroom. We have implemented technology device call SWIVEL that will give students the opportunity to see what the teacher may be writing on the board or see what the teachers is showing/demonstrating to others in the classroom. Swivel is a device that follows the teaches movement around the classroom which is then projected to the screen for remote students.

Benefits of this model is that it allows the teacher to teach both in person students and the remote students at the same time.

Remote students may have times where they are working asynchronized (independently) or in a teacher’s breakout classroom with a teacher or paraprofessional.

Both in-person and remote learners are expected to complete all assignments and attend breakout room instruction

Bus Procedures ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
