Other safety measures
These safety measures are in place to start the 2021-2022 school year:
- Mandated vaccinations for faculty, staff, and outside instructors, substitutes, and vendors that work with students
- Physical distancing during instruction in classroom spaces, maximized based on available space
- Lunch outdoors with strict physical distancing
- Hand hygiene during the school day and during the after-school program
- Rigorous campus cleaning routines
- Effective classroom ventilation, including ongoing expert review based on updated guidance
- Continued use of outdoor tents
- There will be limited movement between and among student cohorts so we can return to our full multigrade programs and after-school programs.
- An ELC cohort in 2021-2022 is defined as each class grouping: One cohort in Preschool, two cohorts in Pre-Kindergarten, and one mixed-age cohort.
- A K-5 cohort in 2021-2022 is defined as a class (not a full grade), an after-school enrichment class, and the group in after-school care
Additional community best practices we encourage:
- Consider playdates outdoors and limited to children from your own classroom.
- Postpone larger gatherings because not all PBS students are not yet eligible for vaccinations.
- Wear snug-fitting face coverings, wash hands, keep children home if they have symptoms, and use physical distancing to the extent possible, particularly when eating and drinking.
- Align your plans with our Community Statement of Responsibility.
