Please make note of the following restroom assignments and additional restrictions in effect until further notice, as a measure to minimize the risk of cross-contamination of COVID-19:
Restroom Restrictions
- All restrooms are gender-neutral and restricted to a single person at a time, to enable adequate physical distancing and ventilation.
- To reduce the aerosolization and spread of coronavirus-laden droplets and other germs, signage and physical barriers will be in place to prevent the use of any urinals on campus, and each toilet fixture will be outfitted with a lid. Students and employees will be instructed and reminded to close toilet lids before flushing.
- Each member of the community is required to use only their assigned restroom, even during recess or specialist classes.
- Exterior bathroom doors will be kept open at all times to increase ventilation and allow for entry and exit without contamination. Exceptions are made for air-conditioned restrooms in the Admin Building, MPR, and the portable facility outside the 5th-grade building.
- Students will not be permitted to wash hands in the bathroom sink; instead, they will be directed to use the wash stations outside the bathroom.
- Bathrooms will be cleaned throughout the day on a continuous cycle, approximately 6 times a day, and a maintenance log will be kept on a clipboard hanging on each door.
