Keeping Staff and Students Safe
1. Parents and staff affirm that they are performing daily health checks.
​
2. Children brought to school must be free of all symptoms and without an exposure to an infected individual in the past fourteen (14) days.
​
3. All staff and children will follow OCFS regulations of handwashing: upon arrival, after toileting, before and after eating, after blowing nose, after being outside, etc.
​
4. Entrance to the B’Yachad space is limited to current staff and children only. (Tours of our school are temporarily halted while school is in session.)
​
5. During drop-off and pick-up, parents will remain outside, permitting their children to walk to or from a staff member who will be at the door.
​
6. The classroom and toys are disinfected regularly according to OCFS regulations, using a bleach solution of 4 tsp bleach:1 quart water, mixed daily. No toys from home are permitted in school.
If, despite all precautions, an exposure occurs, family members will be notified, and the staff will follow COVID-19 exposure protocols.
