Aeries Communication and Canvas will be used to provide specific education and instructions for students, parents, and guardians on the implementation and enforcement of this reopening plan. These communications will include written and screencast instructional videos that will be available on the school website in multiple languages and will include instructions regarding entering campus, health screening, wearing face masks over the mouth and nose at all times, maintaining six feet of physical distancing at all times, students sitting at their assigned desk (work/study/station), and students following directional maps and signage.

Families will be informed in writing as well as during a Return to School family education event of the school’s safety protocols and expectations. Families will have the opportunity to ask questions and get a clear understanding of the plan, and ongoing training will be provided as needed.

Teachers will review safety practices with students daily. Safety reviews will include proper safety etiquette and proper hygiene practices, distance monitoring, appropriate movement around campus, and directions for lunch and restrooms.

As the school prepares to shift phases, we will work with families to communicate as effectively as possible.  

Outreach and communication will include:

• Additional Q&A sessions with the entire campus community - offered with simultaneous translation.
• This report will be available on our website with automatic translation into any language offered by the web service.
• Opportunities for students to opt-in to in-person learning in three-week periods (as we prepare to implement Phase 3).
