12. Protocol Modifications Under Waiver

COHORT SIZES

For in-person instruction under a waiver, students will be organized and proceed through the day within cohorts, defined as a stable group of no more than 12 children and no more than two supervising adults. The cohorts will stay together for all activities (e.g., recess, lunch, etc.), and avoid contact with people outside of their stable group.

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING

Under a waiver, we are required to report the exact number of students in each cohort on campus. While our intention is to have flexibility between educational models - in-person and distance learning programs - under a waiver, families will not be able to move freely between models. If a student is enrolled in the in-person program and required to remain home for any reason, they may move into the distance-learning program during their absence. Students enrolled in distance learning will not have the ability to move into the in-person program until the Pasadena Public Health Department allows more students per cohort or requirements change.

SCHEDULE

The County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health and the City of Pasadena Public Health Department is adopting a staged approach, supported by science and public health expertise, to enable schools to reopen safely. In addition, to meet the provisions under the waiver, we may modify our in-person program schedule. We will reevaluate school hours based on public health guidance and will communicate that with families.

Kindergarten: First Grade: Second Grade: 8 - 11 a.m. 8:15 - 11:15 a.m. 8 - 11 a.m.

DAY CAMPS, CHILD CARE OR DAYCARE

If your child is currently enrolled in daycare, child care services, or is part of a learning pod, your child will need to quarantine for 10 days before joining their stable cohort and cannot be simultaneously enrolled in both programs. We understand that this may be an inconvenience for parents who are working, but we are required to limit exposure to our students and faculty. We are committed to our families choosing to join us in-person and hope you can commit to Chandler exclusively under these current circumstances.

AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM

Because of our limitations and restrictions under the waiver, we are currently not offering an afterschool program. Once our in-person program is expanded, we will communicate options for our families.
