• St. Finn Barr Catholic School in collaboration with

the San Francisco Department of Public Health and the Archdiocesan Department of Catholic Schools has created the following framework for the reopening of school. All contents are subject to change in deference to local, state, and federal mandates.

Our Goal Our top priority continues to be meeting the spiritual, academic, physical, and emotional needs of every child entrusted to our care while ensuring the safety of our community.

Preparing Specifically for Two Models

1. A hybrid model where some of the learning occurs on campus and some

• ccurs from home (or families choose

to learn solely from home). 2. An upgraded remote-only learning model should local, state or federal mandates decide that we must return to a shelter in place model.

Alternating Mondays* Tuesday and Wednesday

Hybrid Model: Reducing the Number of Students on Campus

Alternating Mondays* Thursday and Friday

Cohort A Cohort B

Choose to stay home and participate in 100% remote learning/livestreaming during the first trimester of school.

Cohort C

*Alternating Mondays are optional. If your family chooses to remote learn on Mondays only, students will be expected to participate in livestream lessons.

Current plan for reopening on August 19th, 2020.

Distance Only Learning: 100% Remote Learning

All classes will resume their normal class schedule determined by the individual teacher based on minutes and start/end times remotely. Teachers will teach classes through Zoom using the platforms Seesaw (K-2) and Google Classroom (3-8). Please refer to the class schedule you will receive at the beginning of the school year. This plan will go into effect if local, state, or federal mandates decide that we must return to shelter-in-place.

Driving Instructions

Families are required to complete a health screening with a faculty/staff member prior to dropping their student off. In order to ensure easy flow of traffic, parents and students are required to drive eastward on Hearst Avenue and pull up to the curb next to the West Gate or the East gate. Students will remain in their car until directed by staff/faculty to go directly to their

• classroom. Students who do not pass the health screening will not be allowed out of the car.

Entrance Protocol (Driving)

FIRST GRADE ONLY K, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8

Entrance Protocol (Walking)

Students who walk to school, will stand behind a designated line until they are called by a faculty/staff member for their health check. All students will wait in the designated area and will stand six feet apart in the line on the sidewalk. If parents walk with their child(ren) to school, they will need to wait with their child(ren) until their child(ren) is cleared to proceed into the classroom. If a student walks to school without a parent/guardian and symptoms are observed, the student will be moved to the “Isolation Room” which is the conference room next to the main

• ffice, where they will remain until picked up.

Entrance Protocol

At the assigned check station, students can expect to:

• Remain in the car or stand 6 feet apart if they walk
• Wear their mask*
• Complete a questionnaire by answering questions asked by a staff member

If they are clear to enter the school, students will:

• Sanitize their hands before entering the school gate
• Go directly to their classroom
• Teachers will be at their doors to admit students.
• Go directly to their assigned seats

Parents/caregivers are not allowed on campus and will be asked to say their “goodbyes” to their child(ren) before they exit the car

*In a case where a mask is not present, one will be provided for the student.

Health Screening Questions

1. Do you or your child live with anyone or have you or your child had close contact with anyone with a prolonged cough, fever, flu-like symptoms, or been diagnosed with COVID-19 within the last 14 days? 2. Do you or your child live with anyone or do you or your child have a fever, cough, and/or shortness of breath? For children and adults, fever is 100.4 degrees. 3. Do you or your child live with anyone or do you or your child have any other signs of communicable illness such as a cold, flu, rash, or inflammation? 4. Do you or your child live with anyone or have you or your child experienced diarrhea or vomiting (within the past 24 hours)?

Entrance Protocol

If you miss your window for coming on campus, you will be directed to either wait until 8:45 to enter or you can choose to go home to participate in Remote Learning.

Student Procedures for Entering the Building

Once a health screening has been conducted and students enter the building they will:

• Walk directly to their classroom
• Use hand sanitizer at the door
• Sit at their desk which will be in a designated and marked 6 x 6 foot area of space
• Unpack their belongings which will stay in their 6 x 6 foot area of space

Additional School Supplies Students Must Bring to School

• Each student will keep their supplies at their own desk. Students will not

share any school supplies, materials, or toys.

• Students will be encouraged to have two sets of necessary supplies: one for

school use and one for home use. Books can travel between home and school daily.

• Students will bring their own water bottle(s) to school to avoid the use of

water faucets. Students will not be able to fill their bottle during the day.

• Due to the safety of students, it is recommended that students bring a water

bottle with a straw so that the straw can fit beneath the mask without adjusting it by hand.

• Students should bring their own supply of tissues with one ziplock bag for

dirty tissues as well as hand sanitizer to reduce time out of their space and diminish opportunities for students to congregate in one area.

Cohorts

• St. Finn Barr will create stable cohorts in order to limit transmission. Staff rotations between cohorts will also be minimized

in order to maintain stable cohorts. Rosters that identify student composition of all cohorts will be available to every

• teacher. Cohorts will remain in their designated classrooms unless they are attending recess or PE.

The purpose of the stable cohorts is to limit the number of students on campus each day of school so that we can ensure every student has 6 feet of space for social distancing. Teachers who rotate between cohorts will go directly to the teaching area at the front of the room, which will be sanitized before the previous teacher leaves the space.

Planning for Social Distancing Outside of the Classroom

Visitor Policy

No visitors will be allowed on campus including parents until it is deemed

• appropriate. The office administrator will be available via phone or email. If

students forget their lunch, parents may drop the lunch bag on the bench next to the gate. The office administrator will wipe the bag down with a sanitizing wipe before bringing the lunch bag into the building and the lunch bag will be dropped off at the door of the student’s classroom.

School Gatherings

All gatherings of large groups are prohibited on campus. Therefore, any gathering such as Back to School Night, Parent Board or Room Parent Meetings, faculty meetings, and school assemblies will be held virtually via Zoom.

Closed Communal Spaces

The hall will be closed for school lunches. If students purchase lunch from the lunch program, a pre-packaged lunch will be delivered directly to the classroom.

Extended Care

There will be no Extended Care for the duration of the First Trimester since we are prohibited from mixing cohorts on campus.

Sports

All extracurricular athletic programs are on hold until CYO resumes athletic leagues. St. Finn Barr will follow the CYO and San Francisco Department of Public Health timeline for re-opening when possible.

Next Steps

03

You will receive another survey regarding cohorts on Friday, July 31st so we can continue to gauge where families are in thinking of the return to school. You will also receive the updated Technology Responsibility Use Contract that must be signed before the first day of school. Please complete the survey by Thursday, August 6th so we can use the information to create cohorts.

Plan Development and Focus on Continuous Improvement

This plan was developed in consultation with school and program leaders and Diocesan

• leadership. It takes into account the feedback of students, families, staff, and

administrators through conversation and our site-based survey. St. Finn Barr’s administration team will examine the protocols on an as needed basis. This plan is subject to change.
