☐

Protocol for communicating potential COVID-19 cases to the school community and other stakeholders (see section 1e of the Ready Schools, Safe Learners guidance).

☐

Create a system for maintaining daily logs for each student/cohort for the purposes of contact tracing. This system needs to be made in consultation with a school/district nurse or an LPHA official.

·       If a student(s) is part of a stable cohort (a group of students that are consistently in contact with each other or in multiple cohort groups) that conform to the requirements of cohorting (see section 1d of the Ready Schools, Safe Learners guidance), the daily log may be maintained for the cohort. 

·       If a student(s) is not part of a stable cohort, then an individual student log must be maintained. 

☐

Required components of individual daily student/cohort logs include:

·       Child’s name

·       Drop off/pick up time

·       Parent/guardian name and emergency contact information

·       All staff (including itinerant staff, substitutes, and guest teachers) names and phone numbers who interact with a stable cohort or individual student

The school does not serve any high-risk populations.

The school has a staff of 2 and does not have a school nurse. 

Medically Fragile, Complex and Nursing-Dependent Student Requirements

☐

All districts must account for students who have health conditions that require additional nursing services. Oregon law (ORS 336.201) defines three levels of severity related to required nursing services: 

1.      Medically Complex: Are students who may have an unstable health condition and who may require daily professional nursing services.

2.      Medically Fragile: Are students who may have a life-threatening health condition and who may require immediate professional nursing services.

3.      Nursing-Dependent: Are students who have an unstable or life-threatening health condition and who require daily, direct, and continuous professional nursing services.

☐

Staff and school administrators, in partnership with school nurses, or other school health providers, should work with interdisciplinary teams to address individual student needs. The school registered nurse (RN) is responsible for nursing care provided to individual students as outlined in ODE guidance and state law:

·       Communicate with parents and health care providers to determine return to school status and current needs of the student. 

·       Coordinate and update other health services the student may be receiving in addition to nursing services. This may include speech language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, as well as behavioral and mental health services. 

·       Modify Health Management Plans, Care Plans, IEPs, or 504 or other student-level medical plans, as indicated, to address current health care considerations.                

·       The RN practicing in the school setting should be supported to remain up to date on current guidelines and access professional support such as evidence-based resources from the Oregon School Nurses Association.

·       Service provision should consider health and safety as well as legal standards.

·       Work with an interdisciplinary team to meet requirements of ADA and FAPE.

·       High-risk individuals may meet criteria for exclusion during a local health crisis. 

·       Refer to updated state and national guidance and resources such as: 

• U.S. Department of Education Supplemental Fact Sheet: Addressing the Risk of COVID-19 in Preschool, Elementaryand Secondary Schools While Serving Children with Disabilities from March 21, 2020.
• ODE guidance updates for Special Education. Example from March 11, 2020. 
• OAR 581-015-2000 Special Education, requires districts to provide ‘school health services and school nurse services’ as part of the ‘related services’ in order ‘to assist a child with a disability to benefit from special education.’ 
• OAR 333-019-0010 Public Health: Investigation and Control of Diseases: General Powers and Responsibilities, outlines authority and responsibilities for school exclusion.

☐

Establish a minimum of 35 square feet per person when determining room capacity. Calculate only with usable classroom space, understanding that desks and room set-up will require use of all space in the calculation.

A minimum of 35 square ft per person has been established.

The larger classroom can hold 14 students and the smaller classroom can hold 12 students. 

Physical distancing will be maintained in each classroom.

Marking for social distancing is unnecessary because of small class sizes. Students will be dismissed to use restrooms, get drinks, and wash hands at intervals. 

Classroom one and two will have a staggered schedule for PE, recess, and lunch. 

☐

Support physical distancing in all daily activities and instruction, maintaining at least six feet between individuals to the maximum extent possible. 

☐

Minimize time standing in lines and take steps to ensure that six feet of distance between students is maintained, including marking spacing on floor, one-way traffic flow in constrained spaces, etc.

☐

Schedule modifications to limit the number of students in the building (e.g., rotating groups by days or location, staggered schedules to avoid hallway crowding and gathering).

☐

Plan for students who will need additional support in learning how to maintain physical distancing requirements. Provide instruction; don’t employ punitive discipline.

☐

Where feasible, establish stable cohorts: groups should be no larger than can be accommodated by the space available to provide 35 square feet per person, including staff.

·       The smaller the cohort, the less risk of spreading disease. As cohort groups increase in size, the risk of spreading disease increases.

The school has established two cohorts of 12 students or less. 

The school will maintain contract tracing logs.

Classroom one and two will have a staggered schedule for PE, recess, and lunch.

Staff will insure that cleaning and wiping  of surfaces is maintained between multiple student uses.

Cohorts are established by grade level and heterogeneous. 

The two staff we have remain with their cohorts all day. After any interaction they will sanitize.

☐

Each school must have a system for daily logs to ensure contract tracing among the cohort (see section 1a of the Ready Schools, Safe Learners guidance).

☐

Minimize interaction between students in different stable cohorts (e.g., access to restrooms, activities, common areas). Provide access to All Gender/Gender Neutral restrooms.

☐

Cleaning and wiping surfaces (e.g., desks, door handles, etc.) must be maintained between multiple student uses, even in the same cohort.

☐

Design cohorts such that all students (including those protected under ADA and IDEA) maintain access to general education, grade level learning standards, and peers.

☐

Staff who interact with multiple stable cohorts must wash/sanitize their hands between interactions with different stable cohorts.

☐

Develop a letter or communication to staff to be shared at the start of on-site instruction and at periodic intervals explaining infection control measures that are being implemented to prevent spread of disease. 

·       Consider sharing school protocols themselves.

There are only two staff members and they collaborate on the Communicable Disease School Management Plan. There is no need for a letter. 

Protocols are shared with the student’s families through a summary sheet.

The safety officer will develop protocols for communicating with anyone who has come into contact with a confirmed case
or when a new case has been confirmed and how the district is responding. 

☐

Develop protocols for communicating with students, families and staff who have come into close contact with a confirmed case.

·       Consult with your LPHA on what meets the definition of “close contact.”

☐

Develop protocols for communicating immediately with staff, families, and the community when a new case(s) of COVID-19 is diagnosed in students or staff members, including a description of how the school or district is responding.

☐

Provide all information in languages and formats accessible to the school community.

☐

Direct students and staff to stay home if they, or anyone in their homes or community living spaces, have COVID-19 symptoms, or if anyone in their home or community living spaces has COVID-19.

COVID-19 symptoms are as follows:

·       Primary symptoms of concern: cough, fever or chills, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing.

·       Note that muscle pain, headache, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, nasal congestion, and runny nose are also symptoms often associated with COVID-19. More information about COVID-19 symptoms is available from CDC.

·       In addition to COVID-19 symptoms, students should be excluded from school for signs of other infectious diseases, per existing school policy and protocols. See pages 9-12 of OHA/ODE Communicable Disease Guidance.

☐

Students who choose not to wear face coverings must be provided access to instruction.

☐

ADA accommodations: If a staff member requires an accommodation for the face covering or face shield requirements, districts and schools should work to limit the staff member’s proximity to students and staff to the extent possible to minimize the possibility of exposure. 

☐

Protocols for surveillance COVID-19 testing of students and staff, as well as exclusion and isolation protocols for sick students and staff whether identified at the time of bus pick-up, arrival to school, or at any time during the school day.

All students who become ill at school with excludable symptoms will remain at school supervised by staff until parents can pick them up in the designated isolation area. 

Daily logs must be maintained containing the following: 

Name of student sent home for illness, cause of  illness, time of onset, as per designated communicable disease surveillance logs.

Staff or students with suspected COVID-19 cannot remain at school and should return only after their symptoms resolve, and they are physically ready to return to school. In no case can they return before: 

• The passage of 14 days after exposure; and 
• Symptoms have resolved for 72 hours without the use of anti-fever medications. 

☐

Protocols for assessment of students, as well as exclusion and isolation protocols for sick students and staff identified at the time of arrival or during the school day.

·       Work with school nurses, health care providers, or other staff with expertise to determine necessary modifications to areas where staff/students will be isolated.

·       Consider required physical arrangements to reduce risk of disease transmission. 

·       Plan for the needs of generally well students who need medication or routine treatment, as well as students who may show signs of illness.

☐

Students and staff who report or develop symptoms must be isolated in a designated isolation area in the school, with adequate space and staff supervision and symptom monitoring by a school nurse, other school-based health care provider or school staff until they are able to go home. Anyone providing supervision and symptom monitoring must wear appropriate face covering or face shields.

·       School nurse and health staff in close contact with symptomatic individuals (less than six feet) should wear a medical-grade face mask. Other Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) may be needed depending on symptoms and care provided. Consult a nurse or health care professional regarding appropriate use of PPE. Any PPE used during care of a symptomatic individual should be properly removed and disposed of prior to exiting the care space, and hands washed after removing PPE. 

·       If able to do so safely, a symptomatic individual should wear a face covering.

·       To reduce fear, anxiety, or shame related to isolation, provide a clear explanation of procedures, including use of PPE and handwashing.

☐

Establish procedures for safely transporting anyone who is sick to their home or to a health care facility.

☐

Staff and students who are ill must stay home from school and must be sent home if they become ill at school, particularly if they have COVID-19 symptoms.

·       Symptomatic staff or students should seek COVID-19 testing from their regular physician or through the local public health authority.

·       If they have a positive COVID-19 viral (PCR) test result, the person should remain home for at least 10 days after illness onset and 72 hours after fever is gone, without use of fever reducing medicine, and other symptoms are improving.

☐

Record and monitor the students and staff being isolated or sent home for the LPHA review.

☐

Enroll all students (includes foreign exchange students) following the standard Oregon Department of Education guidelines.

Enrollment:

All students will be enrolled following the Oregon Department of Education guidelines. 

No student will be dropped for non-attendance if they meet the following conditions: 

• Are identified as vulnerable, or otherwise considered to be part of a population vulnerable to infection with COVID-19. 

• Have COVID-19 symptoms for the past 14 days. 

☐

Do not disenroll students for non-attendance if they meet the following conditions:

·       Are identified as high-risk, or otherwise considered to be part of a population vulnerable to infection with COVID-19, or

·       Have COVID-19 symptoms for 10 consecutive school days or longer.

☐

Design attendance policies to account for students who do not attend in-person due to student or family health and safety concerns.

☐

On-Site school students: Full-time and part-time students follow normal reporting policy and procedures.

Attendance:

1.      Attendance will be taken daily. 

2.      Attendance policies and plans will encourage staff and students to stay home if someone in their house is sick. 

3.      Teachers will notify the principal when the absence rate has increased by 20% or more. 

4.      Teachers will use the Respiratory Surveillance spreadsheet to document students with respiratory illness. 

☐

Full-Time Online and/or Hybrid school students: Full-time students who are enrolled in school and taking online and/or hybrid courses only are reported on an FTE basis using a standard record (ADMProgTypCd = 01) as identified in the Oregon Cumulative Average Daily Membership (ADM) Manual. This is an existing policy previously used in the online setting. As such, there should not be any need to reprogram student information systems to accommodate for this change and the addition of the hybrid setting.

·       Note: Because the students in the online and/or hybrid setting do not regularly attend classes at the district facilities, the standard procedures for recording student days present and days absent cannot be effectively applied to those students. This will reduce accuracy of attendance data for the state while this is in effect.

·       For the purposes of this section, please use the following definition and clarification: Online and/or Hybrid Check-in: The responsibility of taking attendance must be performed by the teacher of record. “Check-ins” with appropriately licensed instructional staff are two-way communications between the student and the teacher. A check-in does not include a student leaving a message on an answering machine or sending an email that does not receive a response from the appropriately licensed instructional staff by the end of the next school day.

·       The student must check-in at least twice a week with their teacher(s) of record on at least two separate weekdays in order to be counted as present for all five days of that week.

·       If the student only checks in once during the week, the student must be counted as absent for half of the scheduled week (2.5 days, if there are five days scheduled in the week). 

·       The student must be counted as absent for the entire week (five days, if there are five days scheduled in the week) if they do not report in at all during the week.

·       Note: If a district schedule is based on a four-day school week, the student would still need to check in twice a week as described above in order to be counted as present for the entire week (four days) and once a week to be counted as present for half of the week (two days).

·       Days in attendance may not be claimed for days in which the student did not have access to appropriately licensed instructional staff. The purpose of the rule regarding checking in with the teacher of record is to assure that the teacher can evaluate whether the student is making adequate progress in the course and the student has additional guaranteed opportunities to engage with a teacher. The responsibility of taking attendance must be performed by the teacher of record, not another staff member (e.g., the registrar or school secretary).

☐

Part-time students receiving online and/or hybrid instruction (not college courses): Students who are not enrolled full-time and are taking online and/or hybrid courses offered by the school district or charter school are reported as large group instruction (program type 4), unless they are an ESD-registered homeschooled or private school student receiving supplemental coursework in public school, which are reported as shared time (program type 9). The district may count up to one hour per day per course taken, provided appropriately licensed teachers for the coursework taken, are available and accessible to the student during regular business hours on each school day to be claimed. Because this is online and/or hybrid instruction, attendance is based on check-ins with the student’s appropriately licensed teacher(s) of record at least two times (on different days) during the school week.

☐

Update procedures for district-owned or school-owned devices to match cleaning requirements (see section 2d of the Ready Schools, Safe Learners guidance).

•    The school has enough computers/IPads for each student to have their own without sharing. These do not leave the building.

•    For electronics, such as tablets, touch screens, and keyboards follow manufacturer’s instruction for cleaning and disinfecting. 


☐

Procedures for return, inventory, updating, and redistributing district-owned devices must meet physical distancing requirements.

☐

Handwashing: All people on campus should be advised and encouraged to wash their hands frequently.

·       Handwashing: Provide age appropriate hand washing education, define appropriate times to wash hands, and provide hand sanitizer when hand washing is not available. 

·       Equipment: All classroom supplies and PE equipment will be cleaned and sanitized before use by another student or cohort group. 

Events: Fieldtrips will be limited to cohort groups and chosen for limited exposure, such as nature hikes, etc. Events will be modified to meet requirements for social distancing.  Once a week both classrooms will meet for chapel outside on the field with appropriate social distancing of 6ft.

●      Transitions/Hallways: Transitions are scheduled so that classroom break times are staggered.  Teachers will dismiss students and see that social distancing is maintained. Small class sizes make it easy to stay within cohorts and maintain distance. 

●      Personal Property: Each classroom will have a limit on the number of personal items brought to school. If personal items are brought to school, they must be labeled prior to entering school and not shared with other students. 

☐

Equipment: Develop and use sanitizing protocols for all equipment used by more than one individual or purchase equipment for individual use. 

☐

Events: Cancel, modify, or postpone field trips, assemblies, athletic events, practices, special performances, school-wide parent meetings and other large gatherings to meet requirements for physical distancing. 

☐

Transitions/Hallways: Limit transitions to the extent possible. Create hallway procedures to promote physical distancing and minimize gatherings.

☐

Personal Property: Establish policies for personal property being brought to school (e.g., refillable water bottles, school supplies, headphones/earbuds, cell phones, books, instruments, etc.). If personal items are brought to school, they must be labeled prior to entering school and use should be limited to the item owner.

☐

Materials: Avoid sharing of community supplies when possible (e.g., scissors, pencils, etc.). Clean these items frequently. Provide hand sanitizer and tissues for use by students and staff.

☐

Handwashing: Remind students through signage and regular reminders from staff of the utmost importance of hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette. Respiratory etiquette means covering coughs and sneezes with an elbow or a tissue. Tissues should be disposed of and hands washed or sanitized immediately.

·       Wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with 60-95% alcohol.

☐

Keep school playgrounds closed to the general public until park playground equipment and benches reopen in the community (see Oregon Health Authority’s Specific Guidance for Outdoor Recreation Organizations).

• Outdoor areas, such as playgrounds generally require normal routine cleaning, but do not require disinfection. 

• Recess times for the two classroom cohorts will be staggered for use of one cohort at a time. Clean all structures/equipment between use by different cohorts.

• Step 1: Clean 
• • Wear disposable gloves to clean and disinfect. 
• Additional personal protective equipment (PPE) may be required based on the cleaning/disinfectant products used and whether there is a risk of splash. 
• • Clean surfaces daily using soap and water, then use disinfectant. Some products may accomplish the cleaning and disinfecting process in one step. 
• • More frequent cleaning and disinfecting may be required based on level of use. High touch surfaces include: Tables, doorknobs, light switches, handles, learning areas, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, sinks, etc. 
• • Note: Some surfaces may only need to be cleaned with soap and water. For example, 
• Step 2: Disinfect 
• surfaces and objects that are not frequently touched should be cleaned and do not require 
• additional disinfecting. Additionally, disinfectants should typically not be applied on items 
• used by children, especially any items that children might put in their mouths. Check the 
• label of all products to verify their safe use around children.
