Before Arrival All students should complete the Daily Attestation Form through Qualtrics. This form can be found on our district website Daily Attestation or by scanning the QR Code below with your smartphone. If you are unfamiliar with a QR code, open your camera app, point it at the QR Code, and click the link that pops up on your screen.
[QR Code instructions for Android ] ------ [ QR Code instructions for iPhone ]
This form takes a few seconds each day to complete. We recommend saving this to your phone or smart device by creating an “app”.
[How to Add a Website as an “App” on iPhone ] [How to Add a Website as an “App” on Android]
Students will have to show a screenshot of their green checkmark upon entering SHS. If you receive a red checkmark, please stay home. Example of Green Checkmark:
[How to do a Screenshot on iPhone] [How to do a Screenshot on Android] [How to do a Screenshot on Chromebook] Students will have their screenshot out on their phone or Chromebook prior to entering the building. Students will show a staff member their checkmark and proceed to the temperature check station to fully enter the building.
Bus Transportation All SHS students riding school buses will be dropped off in the lower SHS parking lot.
Students will stay socially distanced while at the bus stop. Students will be spaced apart as much as the physical capacity of the bus allows and will be required to wear masks. Ventilation will be incorporated into the bus by having the windows down as appropriate for weather conditions. Per CDC guidelines each bus will be cleaned once daily, and drivers will wipe down high-touch areas between each run. Buses are sprayed disinfected in between routes. Students will sit with members of their household when available.
To help maintain safety on buses, we are doing the following:
● Requiring mask wearing at all times while on the bus. ● Keeping two students to a seat whenever possible and having individually assigned seats (seat
assignments coming this week). ● Keeping windows open when possible. ● Cleaning and disinfecting the buses on a daily basis.
The District understands that transportation to school is an important part of accessing in-person instruction. However, if you have the ability to provide transportation for your child during this time, we’d ask that you do so to help alleviate the amount of students that are on our buses.
Parent Drop Off/Pick Up Parents that drop their student off at school will be asked to stay in their vehicle and observe the one-way traffic flow in the left-lane . Parents are encouraged to drop off students by entering from First Street and exiting on to Goodlander road. To prevent lines and traffic jams, please drop-off and exit the parking lot as quickly and safely as possible. Please keep the handicap (right) lane open for buses.
Upon Arrival & Entrances
● The front SHS main entrance is next to the front office, on the west side of campus. ○ Parent Drop offs ○ Students parking in the upper lot ○ Students walking to school
● The back SHS main entrance will be at the top of the walkway above the lower parking lot on the East side of campus.
■ Students riding school buses ■ Students parking in the lower lot

■ Students walking to school
Those that have already completed their daily attestation will go through one line to verify their screenshot of the green checkmark with a staff member. Those that were unable to complete the attestation at home or those who need more assistance will enter a separate line and a staff member will assist them. Prior to finishing the entry process, a temperature check will be required for all staff, students, and visitors. Face masks will be required for all students and staff at all times before they enter the building. NOTE: Any staff or student that is experiencing symptoms will be placed in an isolated room on site and evaluated by a school nurse or designee.
Controlled Campus Movement All spaces in the school will have controlled movement for students and staff. This will include one-way lanes for hallways, stairwells, limited bathroom occupancy, and social distancing protocols for everyone while they travel between classes. The expectation is that hallways are used only for entry into the building, bathroom use, or exiting the building. Group gatherings or socializing in the hallways will be discouraged as much as possible.
Classroom Modifications All classrooms have been modified to maintain 6’ social distancing between students. Each classroom will have a hand sanitizer station available either outside the classroom or immediately inside for staff and students to utilize both prior to class and during class. Staff will be provided necessary disinfecting supplies to wipe down or clean surfaces in their classroom as well. In classrooms with students exiting, SHS staff will sanitize desk areas when students leave for the day. For purposes of sanitization and contact tracing, students will also have assigned seating and seating charts for all classrooms will be saved in a folder accessible by administrators.
Classroom settings will ensure that each class has a designated seating chart and all students are facing the same direction (when able) per Department of Health guidelines. Building administrators will check classroom physical arrangement prior to students entering the building.
Classroom Overflow Area While we make every effort to ensure that classrooms meet but do not exceed the maximum area per student, there may be instances where modifications will be necessary. If a classroom cannot accommodate the 6’ and 36 sq/ft per student requirement, the teacher will send the students who do not fit in the space by order of which they arrive to the student center (for the basement and 1st floor) and library (for the third floor) and contact the attendance office.
Lab and Unique Classroom Modifications All classrooms will be following guidance from the Department of Health, OSPI, and Yakima Public Health. In addition to these standard classroom protocols, additional safety measures will be present in classroom areas that utilize shared materials.
Bathroom Access The building will have one restroom available on the main floor. Only one student will be allowed to leave the classroom for bathroom breaks. Once the student returns, the next student will be allowed to leave the classroom. Students will not sign in and sign out and there will be no bathroom passes.
Cleaning & Sanitizing Our custodial and support staff will clean and disinfect all classrooms, restrooms, and common spaces accessed by students daily. All classroom spaces will be sanitized daily after the small group session has been completed and then disinfected each night.
Face Coverings (see link) Face coverings will be required based upon best available data and input from the health department and the CDC. Social distancing is not always possible in school settings, therefore, students and staff will be expected to wear masks while on campus and when exemptions do not apply. If a student arrives without a mask, SHS will provide a temporary or cloth mask for the student. School administrators will monitor face mask use and will ensure that all students and staff are wearing them consistently. Please remember that there may be individuals that have pre existing medical conditions that prohibit them from wearing a mask. Any student or staff member who cannot wear a mask due to medical reasons will need to go through a formal process for a mask waiver. Please contact the main office for the process.
Acceptable Face Coverings
- Paper/disposable mask - Cloth mask - Medical grade mask
Social Distancing Students will practice social distancing from the arrival on campus through departure. This is defined by Yakima County Public Health as 6’ distance between individuals. Students will load on school buses into assigned seats, increasing social distancing and limiting exposure to others.
Limited Access to Visitors and Volunteers It is essential to create a healthy and safe environment by limiting potential COVID-19 exposure whenever possible. SHS will have extremely limited access to visitors and volunteers. All efforts will be made to do remote meetings through Zoom when possible. If a meeting on site is essential, prior written or verbal notice must be given 24 hours in advance and approved through administration.
Common Area Modifications Students will be expected to remain in their classroom once school starts. One bathroom will be available and entry access will be limited to one at a time. Parking lots are considered common areas and students will be expected to be either in their vehicles or moving toward the building. No congregating or loitering in the parking lot. When students arrive at school for the day, they need to head directly to the entrance to the building and remain 6’ apart during this transition. When students exit for the day, they will need to head to their bus, car, or wait 6’ apart for their ride to arrive. Mask wearing and social distancing protocols will be adhered to the entire time students and staff are on campus.
Meal Service Every student has access to lunch service at no-cost. SHS Students will receive meals in a grab-and-go style prior to exiting the building for the day. Each grab-and-go bag includes one lunch and one breakfast item. Students will need to tell their teacher that they intend to pick up a no-cost meal pack so that SHS has them available for them at the end of their session.
Mass Gatherings For the safety of staff and students on campus, pep rallies, assemblies, dances and other large gatherings will not be permitted until further notice.
Before and After School Programs AS before and after school programs, such as athletics and activities have resumed, student-to-staff ratios will be reduced to promote social distancing. Additionally, all programs will be following state and local
9
Selah High School - Modified Hybrid Manual
health guidelines related to group size and correct social distancing protocols as outlined in the Healthy Washington Sports and Activities Guidelines. Staff and students will practice frequent hand washing. Students will follow all classroom protocols when entering and exiting the classroom areas. Advisors, coaches and teachers will schedule meeting times with the Athletic and Activities Directors to ensure building occupancy and distancing protocols are followed. Program specific schedules will be communicated to the students and families by the head coach or program director.
Positive COVID-19 Case Confirmation Response Communication & Contact Tracing: Upon notification of a positive COVID-19 test result, a parent/guardian or employee will notify the SHS front office immediately. The building COVID lead, Mr. Davis and the district nurse will be notified of the positive case and will immediately contact the Yakima County Health District (YHD). Through collaboration with YHD, any individuals who have been in close contact (as defined by YHD) with the COVID-19 positive person and are in need of quarantining from school will be notified as soon as possible. Following communication with these individuals, the school will be notified of the confirmed case. Individual privacy will be maintained throughout this process.
Washington State Dept. of Health Flowchart: This Flowchart will help guide school district staff on making proper decisions related to potential positive COVID-19 cases. This is also a tool parents/ guardians can use.
Returning to campus: The COVID-19 positive individual will remain off campus and follow isolation protocols through the duration of time recommended by their healthcare provider and the YHD. This flowchart will help guide decisions on returning back to campus.
Student demonstrates sudden onset of COVID-19 symptoms
The classroom teacher will: ● Call the office if a student is showing:
○ Any “Class A Symptoms” of any duration (CARE room) ○ 2 or more “Class B Symptoms” of any duration (CARE room) ○ Have the student collect their stuff and wait at the desk outside the classroom
● Health Room is used for Non Class A symptoms ( DOH Flow Chart) Call office before you send a student to double check. For diabetic students coming for their daily check, a phone call doesn’t need to be made.

Family Expectations Attendance Attendance for Modified Hybrid is required. Attendance will be taken by the teacher at the start of each session and reported in Skyward. Students who wish to remain in a remote setting will need to contact the main office for further information.
Communication
Family-Teacher communication is a vital cornerstone to maintain the relationship between the school and family. Teachers are the families first point of contact for academic questions. For students to succeed in remote learning, families are expected to maintain responsiveness to email, newsletters, phone, and or video communications with the teachers and the school. Professional, courteous two-way communication is always encouraged. Families and students should utilize proactive communication strategies with staff through the following platforms:
1) Google Classroom (Parent guide to Google Classroom can be found here ) 2) Email (staff emails can be found here ) 3) Phone Call 4) Friday email/text message ( history of email communication can be found here )
Day-To-Day Operations Before School
● In the Modified Hybrid Schedule, live teaching will start at 8:20am for group A-K and at 12:20 for group L-Z
● Students will not be allowed entry into the building before 8:00 or 12:00 for their allotted time. ● Attestation form MUST be completed before a student will be allowed to enter. ● Students will be directed to their classroom upon entry of the building. ● Students are expected to bring their Chromebook fully charged and any other materials necessary

● Students will ONLY be permitted to enter the school through the main and rear entrances. Staff members will be at the door checking for each student’s mask, temperature, and verifying attestation is completed.
Student Parking
Students will be encouraged to park in the “upper parking lot” accessed from First Street. Traditionally this lot becomes full when all students are in session, but due to our hybrid plan, only one half of the students will be accessing this lot at any given time. No parking passes will be required. When students arrive, they need to head directly to the entrance to the building and remain 6’ apart during this transition. Students will not be able to congregate or meet in the parking lot.
District Transportation Service
Transportation will drop students at the lower parking lot.
End of Day ● Students may exit the building through any exit. ● Students can be picked up in front of the school at the same location as drop off. ● Students can also be picked up at the lower parking lot. ● Students are expected to exit the building and parking lots as quickly and safely as possible. ● Students in the A-K (AM) session will be expected to exit the building by 10:55 am. ● Students in the L-Z (PM) session will be expected to exit the building by 2:55 pm. ● Please be patient. Student safety is extremely important to all of us.
School Office ● Parents picking up a sick child will be asked to remain in the vestibule or outside. You may call the
office at (509) 698-8500 and we will escort your student to your vehicle. ● Items that need to be dropped off for a student will be placed in the vestibule. We will ask the parent
to write the student's name and attach it to the item. Staff will then get the item to the student.
Communication Teacher-student communication is critical to success in remote learning. Students and teachers must respond to one another in a timely manner for all correspondence and should be checking their school email and Google Classroom multiple times each school day. We will communicate at the school level each Friday ( history here). Responses to emails to staff should be provided within one school day. Parents should also frequently check Skyward to monitor student attendance and academic progress.
Stay Connected Skyward : Selah School District’s student management platform. You can download the free Skyward App from the Google Play or App Store. Please contact the SHS main office if you have any questions or issues with logging on to Skyward. Email: An important communication tool for students, staff and parents to remain connected through the school year. All staff will be checking emails daily. All Selah High School staff emails can be found on our website. Zoom : A video conferencing tool to connect people through video or audio. Teachers will use zoom for class meetings, instructional videos or working with students during office hours. It is important for students to practice appropriate zoom etiquette at all times. Google Classroom : This is our district's learning management system (LMS) and is the one place that all students and families can go to find out about what learning is available and expected. Google Classroom is the single launch point for all students K-12 to find their learning materials as well as to submit materials back to the teacher for feedback. All students should be able to find everything they need on a daily basis for instruction by visiting their courses with the Google Classroom platform.
Families Experiencing Homelessness Established district procedures are used by the school office to determine which students qualify for McKinney Vento services. In the case of students who are new to the state and not previously identified, qualification for services will be determined through the district housing survey which is conducted at the beginning of school or upon registration. If your family is currently experiencing homelessness, defined as "individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence,” contact your student's school counselor for more information. Selah High School counselors work with families to determine eligibility for McKinney Vento services and provide outreach for resources and services needed.
Mask Avoidance Procedures All students and staff must wear masks while at school. See district, state, and county health guidelines for more information. When a student or a staff member is not wearing a mask appropriately:
1. A reminder is given about appropriate mask use by a staff member 2. If the student or staff member continues to not follow the process, the following procedures will follow:
a. Students: i. Administration and parents will be notified via classroom referral in skyward. ii. If a student continues to not follow mask procedures, they will be sent home for the day
and documented in skyward. iii. If this continues, students will not be able to attend grade level small groups.
