Re-Opening OverviewHybrid In-Person

School Campus

• Students and staff will maintain social distancing between 3-

6 feet depending on location.

washing, and prevention of germ spreading.

• Plexiglass partitions are installed in front office areas. Face

coverings will be required (Mask Policy & Social Distancing)

for all staff, students, vendors and visitors.

• Schools will designate specific routes and directional

walkways to promote social distancing.

• Water bottle filling stations available; drinking fountains are

available for bottle filling ONLY. Students may not share

food items, water bottles or school supplies.

countertops, door handles, restrooms, student desks,

student chairs).

• All HVAC systems have been updated with COVID

compliant standards.

ClassroomsSocial distance will be maintained at a distance of at least 3 feet for “stable” groups. Stable group: a fixed membership that stays together for all courses and activities (e.g. classes, sports teams, etc.).

Smaller class sizes to accommodate social distancing.

Classroom spaces have been arranged to remove non-essential furniture, allowing for maximum space for students and staff.

Schools will limit the share of supplies between students to the extent possible and encourage students to take home personal items for daily cleaning.

Face coverings required at all times.

3 foot social distancing will be enforced while outside.3

campus, including at the time of school entry and exit.

ConsequencesFace covering requirements and other health protocols are critical tools for creating and maintaining a healthy environment in our schools and limiting the

spread of COVID-19. Masks or acceptable face coverings will be required for all students, staff, and visitors at all times regardless of physical distancing unless an approved exemption applies. Every attempt will be made to ensure that the student and the student’s parents understand the importance of

wearing a mask or acceptable face covering. As part of our return to in-person instruction, schools will educate and support students and families on the

importance of health safety guidance to support, encourage, and model the behaviors we expect of all students.

• First consequence: student and parent contacted • Second consequence: student and parent contacted

• Third consequence: once students have received 2 warnings (first two consequences), they will be reassigned to distance learning.

at school. Please be sure to have updated emergency

contacts on file. https://parents.redlandsusd.net

to entering campus, which currently includes a visual

check, questionnaire, and temperature check, based on

current guidance
