Dear Wolf Creek Schools Parents, Students and Community,
As we move closer to the start of the 2020-21 school year, I wanted to update you on a few items which will make it possible to reopen. It is very important that we take into consideration all student’s and staff's health and safety. We continually are working with the Washington County Department on the best practices for reopening the school. At the current time, We plan to open for all students five days a week.
Wolf Creek Local School Board has approved reopening guidelines for the 2020-21school year. The reopening will be based on the Ohio Public Health Advisory System and guidance from the Washington County Health Department.
The first day of school will be August 24, 2020. We will be dismissing students at 1:00 for the first five days of school ( August 24, 25, 26, 27, 28). This will allow for teacher collaboration and extra cleaning in the buildings.
Some of the items of interest we are putting in place to ensure student safety:
All students K-12 will be assigned their own Chromebook to be used throughout the school day. In the event we are forced to go to a different form of instruction, blended or remote, students will be able to take this device home.
Health screenings will be encouraged for all staff and students prior to coming to school each day. In addition, we will incorporate temperature checks as students enter the building.
Social distancing will be promoted at all times. All student desks will be a minimum of 3 feet apart and face forward.
Increased handwashing and use of hand sanitizer will be provided for all students and staff. There will be scheduled times for students to wash their hands in addition to the normal hand washing routine. We are in the process of placing hand sanitizer stations at all entrances, restrooms, bus entrances, and other high traffic areas.
We will be increasing daily cleaning of the buildings and buses. Increase focus on high traffic areas and touch points throughout the school day.
We will require face masks/shields for all staff who are within 6 feet of students or other adults. We will strongly recommend all students in grades 3-12 wear masks and require masks when students are less than 3 feet from another person Unless students are exempt due to medical reason. We will be providing a clear reusable face shield for all students and staff. We also will have disposable masks available for use by students and visitors. We would encourage all students to bring their own mask.
As we begin the school year, we will not schedule any mass gatherings such as assemblies, open house, meet the teacher night nor will be scheduling any field trips at this time
There will be a plan with the County Health Department for if a student or staff member test positive for COVID-19. The Health Department will handle all notifications and quarantine recommendations that will be completed if there is a positive case.
A more detailed district plan will be posted after August 1 and it will be included in the district newsletter. We will continue to update you as we revise the plan as changes and further guidance is given.
It is our belief that the best education is from in person education. We will continue to offer an online platform for students to complete educational work if they do not feel comfortable or have other related health reasons attending in person or have other related health reasons.
Remember, that it is important to follow these guidelines to ensure that our students and staff are safe and healthy. The school is the heart of our community and it is very important that we all work together to keep our schools open for maximum learning to take place.
