7. We will arrange the traffic patterns throughout the building to limit individuals passing within 6' of each other.
8. Students will sit with members of the same household when possible. All households will be separated by at least six feet from other students in the classroom.
9. Our students will still come to the teacher's desk for testing / tutoring.
10. Students need to move during the day, but when possible teachers will use MS Teams to limit some movement in the classroom.
11. Teachers' desk will have plexiglass installed between them and students, so teachers will not be required to wear a mask or face shield behind the shield.

6. If a student remains at home without sickness, but their work falls behind, it is possible the student could be considered truant, and if they fall behind enough, not be promoted to the next grade level.
7. Our goal is to work with parents through this pandemic, but because we have the technology to provide academic excellence In-Class or In-Home, our academic decisions will be based upon work completed.

Our guidelines will change based upon the State of Ohio threat level for Lake County.* Click the button above for more information.

We are committed to keeping all participants safe and healthy. We believe that the threat of this virus is very real and we also believe that if we take the appropriate steps given to us by health professionals we will be able to safely educate. We will be diligent to protect ourselves from individuals who by, intention or neglect, fail in their duty to follow these safety guidelines.

Guidelines may change with new requirements or recommendations.

*Though our Pandemic Statistics on the far east end of Lake County are more comparable to Ashtabula County, having students from both counties, we will use the county with the highest risk level.
