Yellow Plan
Classroom Procedures
Students will be present in school each day with a blended-learning approach.
All students and teachers will wear masks. Student masks are to be a solid color or the masks provided by BWHS with the school logo. Surgical disposable masks are acceptable.
Most classrooms will be limited to 20 people (students and teachers) at a time.
Students will be seated 6 feet apart in the classroom.
For classes with more students than seats: The balance of students above the number of seats will be assigned to an auxiliary area on a rotating basis. Once in the auxiliary area they will watch the lesson for that period live with ear buds/headphones. Students are asked to bring their own ear buds/headphones.
Facility Changes and Safety Procedures
Parents are asked to take student temperatures each morning prior to arriving at school. Do not send your child to school with a fever. Faculty members will be asked to do the same.
Hand sanitizing stations are located in each hallway.
Students will be responsible for cleaning their own desks prior to the start of each class, using their own cleaning cloth from home. The school will provide cleaning solution for each classroom which teachers will spray on desks.
Lockers can only be accessed before school, at lunchtime and after school. The time between classes has been shortened to discourage stops at lockers and congregating in the hallways.
