COVID-19 Plan

We understand the COVID-19 Pandemic and the fears associated with it.
School is tentatively scheduled to open on September 28th. The school day will be 5 days per week and 6.5
hours per day, 8:30 am to 3:00 pm.
At Howonquet, there are policies in place to assist in safeguarding our children, families, staff, and their families.
New Policies are as follows (full policy is found in the Parent Handbook and upon request):

• Class sizes are reduced to 10 children per class.
• Sanitizing and cleaning will happen all throughout the day, just as before.
• Staff will wear smocks, face shields, and gloves, when necessary.
• Children will receive temperature checks and visual wellness checks at the door every morning.
• Children who show signs of illness and/or have a temperature of or over 100.4 will be sent home for 24 hours.
  o Families who mask illness with Tylenol/Ibuprofen will be asked to quarantine their child for 2-4 days and will receive education packets to be completed from home.
• Unless prior approval, parents/guardians will not be permitted into the building for drop-
  off/pick-up.
  o Please remain at the door, respecting Social Distancing of 6ft or in your vehicle, for your time to sign your child into school.
  o Check child folders at the door and we ask for a hasty departure so that all families have time to sign their child in/out.

Please read through your Parent Handbook, if your child is enrolled.

If you are a different family member or a friend of the family and have the approval to visit with a child
onsite, please call ahead.
