2020-2021 SCHOOL YEAR Lakeview Jr. High 8/6/20

TOP PRIORITY

Our #1 priority is to have all of our staff and students in school every day for in person learning while strictly adhering to all ISBE/IDPH guidelines to best ensure the health and well-being of our staff and students. In addition, a rigorous and robust remote learning experience will be provided to families that select this choice.

ISBE / IDPH GUIDELINES

• Temperature “spot checks” as students enter a

bus or the building each day

• Parent Self-Certifies Student COVID-19 Symptom Free
• No more than 50 students in a space
• Six feet social distancing
• Masks required throughout the day
• Frequent handwashing
• Additional cleaning / sanitizing throughout the day

Overview

• Six hour student school day - 8:55-2:55
• Eight forty two minute periods - seven instructional and one lunch
• No additional lunch period or flex period
• Students will have one Encore period (Art, Music, Consumer Ed.,

STEM, or Spanish) rather than two

• Teacher plan periods before and after student arrival/departure
• Teacher professional hours 8:00-3:30
• Amplification system in classrooms

Nurse

• A district nurse will be on the Lakeview Campus each day.
• The nurse will assist with student arrival each day (temperature checks

and any other relevant student health needs)

• If a student displays any Covid symptoms they will be placed in a

supervised isolated area until they can be picked up by a parent or guardian

• Covid Symptoms include: Fever over 100.4, cough, fatigue, shortness of

breath, difficulty breathing, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion/runny nose, nausea or vomiting, muscle or body aches, Diahrrea.

• A district nurse will work with families of students displaying symptoms

to determine the best course of action prior to returning to school

• All district parents will be notified if a covid case is confimred

WHAT WILL THIS LOOK LIKE FOR LAKEVIEW STUDENTS?

SMART START SCHEDULE

• Smart Start Early Release Schedule will be 8:55-11:55 AM

for student attendance

• Student Arrival: 8:40-8:55 AM
• Student Dismissal: 11:55 AM
• Staff Workday: 8:00-3:30
• Smart Start Schedule: August 21-August 31

ARRIVAL - STUDENTS USING BUS SERVICE

• Temperature will be taken by bus driver with thermal scanner as

students enter the bus

• Students will turn in signed self-certification ticket as they enter
• If a fever of 100.4 or higher is detected, the student will not be

able to board the bus

• Students on the bus will be spaced apart 1 student per seat

excluding siblings

• Students on the bus must wear masks at all times
• Once at school, students will enter the building through the lobby

entrance (the old main entrance)

• Bus will load from back to front and will unload from front to back
• While unloading, six feet distance kept while entering the building

WALKING/BIKES/PARENT DROP-OFF

• These students will enter the building through the LV parking lot door
• Temperature “spot checks” will be taken as they are entering the

building

• If a fever of 100.4 or higher is detected, the student will immediately

go to a supervised holding area to be picked up by parent

• All adults and students will need to self-certify and be temperature

checked upon entry to the building

• Students will turn in signed self-certification ticket as they enter
• Students entering the school will be spaced six feet apart
• Students must wear masks at all times

Pick Up

• Parents will be asked to enter the south lot and park in the circle

drive along the side of the building - this plan is the same as last year

• Once that area is full, cars will park in the spaces in the south lot. All

cars will follow the same flow pattern for safety keepting the traffic flow moving in a clockwise pattern

• Additional parking is available in the Prairieview lot east of the

Lakeview lot, but we do not anticipate the need for this lot at this time, it is available as a back-up area

Once Students Arrive...

• Students will report to their cohort classroom with all materials
• Lockers will not be used - this may change once we see how our

traffic flow patterns can be adjusted to have cohorts use lockers at different times

• Backpacks/book bags for all supplies encouraged
• All instruction will take place in the same cohort classroom
• Lunches, coats,backpacks, materials will all be in their six foot

socially distanced area at their desk

INSTRUCTIONAL SETTING

• All instruction will take place in the cohort classroom except for PE
• Each cohort will be in a classroom where social distancing of six feet can be

maintained

• Teachers will move from class to class during passing period
• Students will remain in their rooms
• Staff will “Stagger” moving so teacher will be supervising from the hallways to

supervise during the transition

• Parapros and any available staff will assist with supervision of the cohort rooms
• Staff will develop a washroom/break plan during classes so there are only a few

cohorts moving at any given time. Each teacher will be flexible with their plans for breaks to minimize students in a hallway at any time

Special Education

• Some students will join a cohort for a specific class based on their IEP
• Student requiring additional support through instructional classes, RTI

reading and math classes and Strategies/resource periods will receive this support in the special education teacher’s classroom or assigned seating in the IMC

• All social distancing guidelines will remain in place in these classrooms

Enhanced/Advanced/Classes

• Lakeview will continue offer Enhanced ELA, Science and Social

Studies courses this year

• Courses are arranged by cohort aligning courses whenever

possible - the goal is to avoid excessive moves outside of the assigned cohort as much as possible

• A few students will be included in enhanced cohorts not

previously assigned, while others may not be included in enhanced courses but will be given differentiated opportunities

Physical Education

• Students will report to one of the gyms with their cohort for PE
• PE will be outside whenever possible
• Health will be taught in the cohort classroom beginning in the 2nd

quarter

• One gym may have two cohorts with a divider during a period
• Curriculum will focus on movement, exercise and “foot” activities.

Rackets, bats and other hand held equipment will not be used during the first quarter until an evaluation of Covid status is done.

Spanish

• HS Spanish 1 has moved to a one-year course this year. This has been a part of a

transition plan for the last 2 years and has not changed

• There are 3 sections of Spanish Classes - the same as last year, but sections are
• smaller. Originally we were going to offer two sections of the class due to the

shift to a one-year class, but we are keeping three for this year due to cohort enrollment limitations

• Mrs. Bergmann, our Spanish teacher, will continue to offer

exploratory/introduction to seventh grade students this year during the Encore Block

• Students enrolled in Spanish 1 will have the opportunity for a proficiency credit at

DGS and have the opportunity to move to Spanish 2 as freshman

BAND

• Band instruction will continue using a small group/lesson format that includes

social distancing and instrument covers for wind instruments

• Band Lessons will be held in a socially distanced outdoor environment
• Music appreciation will be considered when outdoor learning is not available
• Students will receive weekly band lessons during an Encore or PE time
• There will be no pull-out lessons from core classes during the first quarter
• Once the school year begins, we are hoping there will be opportunities for

small groups to meet before school in a socially distanced setting

• There will be no large ensemble rehearsals at this time
• At some point in the year, this may change depending on COVID restrictions

Advisory Period

• Each cohort will have an advisory teacher assigned. It will be their first period teacher
• There will be a weekly advisory period at the beginning of the day on Wednesdays (no

change)

• This year, advisory periods will include a combination of staff created social-emotional

learning lessons as well as College/Career readiness activities using the Naviance tools

• We anticipate advisory activities will be a large part of our opening days of school based
• n the amount of time students have not attended school and the “New World” they

will see at Lakeview this year

LUNCH

• Students will eat during one of our class periods.
• Lunch will be served from the lobby by cohort with staff supervision
• Lunch eating areas will include both gyms and classroom areas to limit

students in any single space

• Lunch areas will be supervised by Principal, RAS coordinator, Parapros

and staff to ensure social distancing is maintained

• Parents will have the option to take students off campus for lunch as long

as they are able to be back in time for their next class.

• Students cannot leave the campus for lunch without their parent or

guardian

Lunch - Continued

• Aramark will be our food service provider again this year.
• There will be two boxed lunch options each day with no a la carte or

snack options

• Only one grade level will eat at a time
• Students will eat in various locations including the gym and classrooms

socially distanced

• Food service will be available but the distribution will look different
• Students will be called to the lunch areas by cohort to minimize students

in hallways between lunch periods

• 6th lunch - 11:10-11:50
• 7th lunch - 11:55-12:35
• 8th lunch - 12:40-1:20

Cleaning/Disinfecting Protocols

• Each building currently has 3 electrostatic handheld disinfecting sprayer
• Each bus has its own electrostatic handheld disinfecting sprayer
• Buses disinfected after every completed bus route
• All classrooms and building spaces disinfected nightly
• Lunch tables disinfected after each lunch period and any other use
• Bathrooms disinfected at least hourly
• Preschool and Kindergarten classrooms disinfected after morning and

afternoon sessions

• To accommodate these cleaning/disinfecting needs, custodial hours have

been adjusted

Assessment

Assessing students’ present level of performance immediately upon our return will be paramount to determining initial curriculum needs and standards to focus on. MAP tests will be administered in early fall and classroom pre/post assessments will be given to assess skills

DISMISSAL

• Student dismissal will be staggered by alpha or by cohort, TBD
• Bus riders will exit through the lobby exit
• Pick-up, walkers, and bikers will exit through the main entrance off the

parking lot

• Staff will be assigned to areas to assist with traffic flow and coordination
• f students on busses

Extra-Curricular Activities Before/After School

• The year will begin with all sports and after school activities on hold and

will be evaluated individually to determine whether or not the activity can take place while following Covid guidelines for student safety

• This will be evaluated continually prior to the opening of school as well as

after classes have begun

Student Handbook

• Student handbooks will be updated to include current language and

guidance regarding Covid/pandemic guidelines

• Handbooks will be shared with parents and discussed with students

at the beginning of the school year

Remote Learning Option

• Students that are participating remote learning will have synchronous

instruction for their core classes

• Attendance will be taken in classes. Students are expected to be online and

participating in classes remotely.

• Students need to be “Called In” if they are ill and unable to attend remote

classes

• Homework, assignments and tests will be submitted and graded

predominantly through Google Classroom or other programs ( Digits, etc.)

• PE will not be synchronous as their location will predominantly be outside
• Encore will be evaluated based on the nature of each course included in the
• rotation. Students may be exempted from coursework as needed based on

the activities in each class during Encore rotations

Remote Only Cohort?

A cohort specifically for remote learners has been examined and is unlikely due to the varying programming needs of our students. This will be re-evaluated after we know the number of students in remote learning and their specific needs, but this currently is not in the plan.
