Cambridge School District

Cleaning/Disinfecting/Positive Case Plan for Fall Re-Entry

POC: Anthony Butler, Superintendent/Secondary Principal

208-257-3311/208-989-8617

The goal of this document is to keep the majority of our students in school for the majority of the time.

Staff and students on campus should adhere to the following:

• Respect social distancing guidelines of six feet 

• Limit physical contact (hugging, fist bumps, handshakes, etc.)

• Stay home if you have been tested for, or are showing signs of COVID-19 or anyone in your household has been tested for, or is showing symptoms of COVID-19

• Practice good hand hygiene

• Cover coughs and sneezes

• Wearing a face mask is recommended (parental discretion) but not required

• No sharing lockers

​

Maintaining a Healthy Environment:

Disinfect surfaces and objects regularly:

• Playground equipment, door handles, sink handles, drinking fountains, PE equipment, art supplies, toys, games etc. 

• Cleaning products should not be used near children, maintain adequate ventilation and follow manufacture guidelines for use

Transportation: 

• Clean/disinfect school buses after each transport trip

• Create distance on the buses with strategically assigned seating charts (siblings sit together, skip a row, and fill the bus with the least amount of student to student contact as the route is ran according to the seating charts, etc.)

• Drivers or other staff member will take child's temperature prior to entering the bus

Shared Objects:

• Avoid shared items as much as possible that are difficult to clean or disinfect

• Keep students’ belongings separate from each other

Daily School Procedures:

• Parents need to keep children home from school if they are displaying any COVID-19 symptoms

• Parents are asked to take the temperature of their child(ren) prior to sending them to school (bus, walk, drop-off)

• Students will have temperature checked by staff member prior to entering the school

• • Students with a temperature of 100.0 or above or other visible signs of COVID- 19 will not be permitted to enter the building and cannot return to school until gone (minimum 24 hours after fever and symptoms are gone, without the use of a fever reducer or other medication)

• Students found to have fever or other COVID-19 symptoms will be sent home. The school district will follow our standard procedures of contacting parents and then emergency contacts. Parents must make arrangements for pickup within 30 minutes of contact from the school

  • The school is not diagnosing your child with any illness or reporting to any agency based on symptoms found

• 24 hours after the last symptom of an individual, a negative test result, or release by a physician, all members of the household are permitted to return to school

Classrooms:

• Minimize close-proximity tasks

• Maintain as much as possible space seating/desks for social distancing with desks facing forward; if using tables, have students only sit on one side of the table so they are not facing each other

• Instruction from teacher on proper hand washing and social distancing

School Provided Meals:

• Extra space between tables in cafeteria (use of elementary gym as needed)

• Breakfast

  • Elementary meals prepackaged and handed to children

  • Secondary meals put together by adult according to student choices, one-way enter and exit plan through library

• Lunch

  • Spacing in line

  • Trays, utensils, milk, salad, and condiments provided by servers rather than self-serve

Positive Case Plan:

• If a positive confirmed (from a doctor) case should occur the district will collaborate with the South-West Health District and Adams County Health District

• Decisions will be made with the local health districts on a case-by-case basis

• Self-quarantine/isolate until the staff/student can return safely

• Communication with staff, parents, and students

• Clean and disinfect thoroughly

• If a short-term or long-term building/campus closure is needed, use the strategies in place for continued education

• In the event of a closure, we will consult with Midvale concerning athletic events and practices

• The superintendent has the authority to close school for 1 day. The board will meet for an emergency meeting within one calendar day of the declaration of closure.

Symptoms of COVID-19:

• Fever greater than 100.3*

• Dry cough, not due to allergies, etc..

• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

• Chills

• Repeated shaking with chills

• Muscle pain

• New or persistent headache

• Sore throat

• New loss of taste or smell

• Fatigue

• Congestion or runny nose

• Nausea or vomiting

• Diarrhea

This is a working document and will be updated as information changes.

Updated 9/02/20 - Bold sections reflect recent changes

Due to the fluidity of the coronavirus, the superintendent has the authority to make changes to this plan as needed. Changes will go into effect immediately. Any and all changes will need permanent approval at the next available board meeting.

​

* Even though the CDC outlines the fever symptom of COVID-19 as being above 100.3, our school practice is to send individuals home at 100.0 or greater.
