PROTOCOLOS DE SEGURIDAD

A continuación, se muestran algunos de los pasos que estamos tomando para crear un entorno de aprendizaje seguro este verano.

Vamos a:

• Requerir vacunas para COVID 19 para todos estudiantes, la facultad, y el personal de Sitar.*

• El uso de mascarillas será opcional para estudiantes, facultad y personal de Sitar.

• Los estudiantes consumirán su almuerzo en sus respectivos salones.

• Limpiar y desinfectar las aulas y áreas de alto tráfico durante y al final de cada día.

Sitar Arts Center continuará monitoreando las directrices y el protocolo de seguridad según lo dispuesto por el Distrito de Columbia. En el caso de que la programación en persona ya no pueda continuar de manera segura o deba detenerse debido a cambios en las directrices/protocolo, Sitar Arts Center se comunicará con las familias de los estudiantes para averiguar alternativas que incluyen programación virtual y/o proporcionar créditos o reembolsos de matrícula.

No hay una enfermera en el personal. El personal de Sitar está certificado para administrar medicamentos y primeros auxilios/RCP durante las horas del campamento.

Todos los estudiantes que asistan a Camp Sitar deberán presentar VERIFICACIÓN DE VACUNACIÓN COVID 19 y un FORMULARIO VÁLIDO DE SALUD E INMUNIZACIÓN DE DC a más tardar el 26 de mayo. Si el formulario no se recibe para esa fecha, perderá su espacio y no se otorgarán reembolsos.

* Este verano estaremos aceptando certificaciones válidas del Departamento de Salud de DC para excepciones religiosas de inmunización. A los estudiantes con estas excepciones se les requerirá el uso de mascarillas dentro de las facilidades, excepto cuando estén comiendo o bebiendo.
