Wellness Practices
Handwashing
- All students will be required to
wash/sanitize their hands each time they enter the building. K-5 students will wash
their hands in their classroom, while 6-12 students will have access to hand
sanitizer in their classrooms. Students are encouraged to carry a small bottle
of hand sanitizer with them for when handwashing is not possible. We will be
providing hand sanitizer in all common areas, as well as the gyms.
Community
Masks – K – 5 students will be
encouraged to wear a community mask when they are inside the school in common
areas or outside of their classroom. 6 – 12 students will be required to wear a
community mask whenever they are outside of their classrooms. K – 8 students
will not be required to wear a community mask while in classrooms. 9 –
12 students will only be required to wear a community mask in a classroom if a
physical distance of 1 meter cannot be maintained.
Students
are encouraged to have more than one community mask, if possible, and it should
be cleaned each evening. Staff will also be required to wear community masks
while in all common areas and when 1 meter of physical distancing (high school)
is not possible. All visitors, with pre-arranged appointments, must wear a
community mask as well while in the school.
Water
Bottles – All students are encouraged
to have their own water bottle, clearly labelled with their name on it.
Students will not have access to water fountains, but will have access to
bottle refill stations in various areas throughout the school.
Washroom
Access – All washrooms at HCS will be
limited to 3 people at a time in order to accommodate the required physical
distancing recommendations. All washrooms will be cleaned at least 3 times per
day.
Cleaning – EECD has agreed to provide schools with extra
custodial time to allow for more frequent cleaning of our schools throughout
the day. All handrails, doorknobs, etc. (high touch areas) will be cleaned throughout
the day at least twice and bathrooms will be cleaned three times per day. High
school students will be asked to clean their desks at the end of each period
before another class enters the room to limit the potential spread of Covid-19.
Younger students will also be asked to keep their desks clean and may help
teachers with the cleaning, if needed.
Symptoms – Parents/guardians
are expected to screen their children each day prior to sending them to school.
If a student is displaying 2 or more symptoms of Covid-19, the student is not
to attend school and you are to call 811 for guidance. If a student displays 2
or more symptoms at school, they will be taken to the health room, be required
to wear a mask and parents/guardians must come to the school immediatel
