The following operational guidelines from the Texas Education Agency have been taken into

consideration in the development of our campus safety plans:

• All instruction should be held in spaces that allow desks to be placed at least six feet apart when feasible.

• If more than one group is using a shared space that is large enough to allow for students in all groups and their respective desks to be six feet apart, then multiple groups of individuals can be in the space together. However, each group must be separated from the other by an empty space of at least 30 feet when feasible. All students will be seated facing forward when feasible.

• The groups should not combine for activities at any time. (Two groups of ten students and one teacher can meet at the opposite ends of a cafeteria, if students can all be seated at least six feet apart; three groups of 11 students can meet in a large gymnasium, separated by 30 feet, with one teacher circulating between the groups to support online learning; and other iterations are also possible, so long as they meet the requirements for distancing when feasible.)

• Whenever possible and developmentally appropriate, there should be no group or pairs working together that would require students to regularly interact within six feet, recognizing that this is not possible for early childhood students and some students with disabilities.

• Students must not be brought together in assemblies, field trips, or other group gatherings outside of their class group, unless the distancing of 30 feet between groups can be maintained.

Campus and Classroom Capacity

The campus has designated classrooms that will allow for the practice of social distancing and

minimize interactions of large groups.

All students will remain in self-contained classrooms in order to create a standard classroom

that accommodates social distancing and small group learning.

If students are in departmentalized schedules, teachers will rotate to the classrooms and the

students will remain in their small group classrooms.

Students that are medically fragile or have individualized needs will have specific plans created

to ensure safety within parameters that are created specifically for the student by the ARD

committee.

SECTION 1: FACILITY SAFETY PLANS

Entrances and Exits

Entrances and exits have been designated in order to create clear pathways and avoid the congregation of large groups. Entrance and exit points are identified as the following:

• Main Entrance: All staff members will enter the main entrance after they have completed their electronic self-screening checklist. Social distancing is expected at front entrance. Signs are posted clearly defining where to wait in order to be 6 ft apart.

• Cafeteria Entrance: Bus Rider Drop-Off/Pick-up; Morning Walker entrance • Front Entrance of school: Car Rider Drop-Off/Pick up • Cafeteria Amphitheater: Walker Dismissal

Health Holding Areas

When a student or staff member develops any symptoms of illness consistent with

COVID-19 (e.g., new onset or worsening cough OR shortness of breath OR at least two of

the following symptoms: fever of 100.0°F, chills, muscle ache, headache, sore throat, loss

of taste or smell) we will take the following general precautions:

• The student will be removed from the classroom and assessed by the school

nurse and contact the parent/guardian.

• Isolation rooms have been identified in the event a student or staff member becomes ill during the school day.

• A campus designee will facilitate the movement of the other students in the class to a new space in order to allow the contaminated room to be closed off and sanitized using district cleaning protocols.

• A campus designee will monitor student or staff member and follow the following

guidance:

o Maintain 6 feet social distancing

o Wear appropriate PPE including facial mask and gloves

o The designated area will be closed off

o Disinfecting protocols will be followed immediately


5

Safety Signage

Safety signage will be posted throughout the interior and exterior of the building reminding staff and

students to follow safety guidelines including social distancing and handwashing.

Examples of signage:

7

Sanitizing Stations

• Sanitizing stations will be located at the designated entrances and exits.

• Students and staff members are asked to report any symptoms that occur during

the school day or several hours after leaving the campus.

Health Check-In for Employees, Students, and Visitors

• Any individual wishing to enter a JISD building must complete the JISD COVID-19

Screener. If any risk factors are present in the self-screen process the individual will

not be approved to enter the building. Employees who do not pass the self-

screening will be identified to campus administration.

Hallways – Flow of Traffic

Designated pathways have been determined based on the flow of traffic and in alignment

with our entrance and exit areas. Please see our campus maps for specificity.

• Students and staff will walk along the right side of each hallway. Designated signs will be along each wall indicating where students are to stand when in the hallway.


8

Restrooms

Restrooms have been designated for both student and adult usage in order to avoid

congregation and support clear pathways. Designations are located on the campus map.

Restrooms breaks are built into the daily schedule for PK-5th grade. Restrooms will be cleaned

every two hours and touched up in between.

Our daily safety plans will provide guidance for cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting our school in order to

minimize and control the spread of illness and disease.

Cleaning Protocols

There are three lines of defense to decrease the spread of pathogens in a school environment:

• Personal hygiene

• Regular cleaning procedures

• Proper disinfection and sanitizing procedures

• The difference between cleaning, disinfection and sanitizing is discussed below:

Personal Hygiene, Cleaning, Disinfections

Cleaning- Removes germs, dirt, and impurities from surfaces or objects. Cleaning works by using soap (or detergent) and water to physically remove germs from surfaces. This process does not necessarily kill germs, but by removing them, it lowers their numbers and the risk of spreading infection (CDC, 2016).

Disinfecting - Kills germs on surfaces or objects. Disinfecting works by using chemicals to kill germs on surfaces or objects. This process does not necessarily clean dirty surfaces or remove germs, but by killing germs on a surface after cleaning, it can further lower the risk of spreading infection (CDC, 2016).

Sanitizing - Lowers the number of germs on surfaces or objects to a safe level, as judged by public health standards or requirements. This process works by either cleaning or disinfecting surfaces or objects to lower the risk of spreading infection (CDC, 2016).

Personal Hygiene- The spread of pathogens can be minimized in schools be employing good personal hygiene, regular cleaning and the proper use of disinfectants. The use of good personal hygiene by students, staff and visitors can greatly reduce the spread of pathogens in the school.

SECTION 2: DAILY SAFETY PLANS


10

Proper hand-washing hygiene and sanitization. All building occupants will have access to adequate soap, water and drying mechanisms. Adequate training and signage on proper hand-washing techniques are posted through-out the school. Explicit training for handwashing will be provided by the school nurse and monitored by supervising adults. In addition, sanitization will be placed in classrooms to include alcohol- based sanitizer.

Custodians, Teachers, Office staff & Administration

Guidance for Cleaning and Disinfecting

Routine cleaning and disinfecting are key to maintaining a safe environment for faculty, students, and staff.

• Cleaning removes dirt and most germs and is usually done with soap and water.

• Disinfecting kills most germs, depending on the type of chemical, and only when the chemical product is used as directed on the label.


11

Routine Cleaning and Disinfecting

The following areas will be cleaned after every use:

• Shared Computers

• Shared Phone

• Shared Copy Machines

• Countertops All shared devices will have signage posted reminding users of protocols for hand washing and

sanitizing.

The following areas will be cleaned every two hours and touched up in between:

• Students and staff restrooms The following areas will be cleaned at least twice a day:

• Door knobs and handles

• Stair Rails/handrails

• Light switches

• Push-buttons on vending machines

The following areas will be cleaned before and after meals:

• Tables

• Desks

• Chairs

The following areas will be cleaned at the end of each session:

• Student desks and chair

• Student devices

• Student work spaces

• Classroom furniture

The risk of getting COVID-19 from cleaning is low. The following are general precautions for

cleaning staff, given that community transmission of COVID-19 is occurring:

• Staff should not touch their face while cleaning. Only after washing their hands should a

staff member touch their face.

• Cleaning staff should thoroughly wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds after gloves are removed.

• Staff who are responsible for cleaning and disinfecting will receive proper training

regarding the use disinfectants safely and effectively and to safely clean up potentially

infectious materials and body fluids – blood, vomit, feces, and urine.


12

Classroom Procedures

All staff members will be expected to adhere to the TEA guidelines for social distancing in the classroom. Such procedures will include:

• Students will enter one at a time into their classroom. • Students will sit at their assigned desk/table. • Students will sanitize their hands prior to entry into the classroom. • Students will wash their hands prior to eating a meal and after eating a meal. • Students will sanitize their hands prior to exiting the classroom.

Meal Distribution

All meals will be served and consumed in the classroom. We are currently pending additional

information from the Food Services Department regarding distribution procedures for meals.

Safe Training for Staff and Students

Training students and adults in the proper use of facial masks and 6-feet social distancing

guidelines and the importance of not sharing drinks, cups, food and paper towels etc.

Student / Safe Expectations

The following expectations should be followed and modeled by all employees and students:

▪ Wear a face mask (All adults and students grade 4 and above)

▪ Hand sanitizer is to be used frequently throughout the day

▪ Monitor student handwashing after meals and restroom use


13

Student Pick-Up / Drop-Off Procedures

Car Riders: Parents must wait in their cars during drop-off and pick-up. Entry to common

areas or classrooms will not be allowed.

Walkers: For your safety and the safety of our staff members, we cannot accept parent walk-

ups. If you normally meet your child on foot, they would be considered a student walker and

they will exit the main building like all walkers and you can arrange to meet your child off

campus.

On Campus Learning

Students will remain in self-contained classrooms. Students will avoid face-face group work but will be able to meet virtually for any group assignments or projects. All students will face the same direction during instruction as per guidelines.

Although in-person field trips will not be allowed, we will look for opportunities for students to engage in virtual field trips.

Extended Learning Opportunities

Each grade level will develop tutoring schedule.
