Safe Return Plans 

 

addressing the COVID 19 Pandemic for School Year 2021-2022

 

Crooked Oak Public School (COPS) students, staff, and families are faced with many uncertainties right now in our health climate and may be forced to make difficult decisions to best meet the needs of their families. These are unprecedented times and there are no perfect solutions.  Please know, as the health climate changes, so may components of our plan. We ask that our COPS Community continue to be flexible, understanding that changes will be to additionally safeguard our students and staff. If anything changes, our learning community will be made aware immediately. Your district is committed to transparency and will provide up-to-date information via email, website, and/or social media.

 

At this time, our school calendar will remain the same and students are to report back to school on Wednesday, August 18. We realize there may come a time when we have to close a classroom, school, or the district due to a rise in confirmed cases of COVID-19 within our learning community. If we encounter situations where closures are necessary, we will temporarily proceed with “Distance Learning”. We understand that COVID-19 will continue to affect our students, staff and families emotionally, mentally and/or physically.  It is our goal to ensure students are well-educated and healthy.  Our staff remains focused to prepare and encourage students to grow and become the best versions of themselves.

 

District administration will continue to meet and/or collaborate with several educators, staff, parents as well as OSSBA, Oklahoma City County Health Department, health professionals, and state and local leaders to update our COPS Return to Learn plan as needed. 

 

COPS LEARNING OPTIONS

Option 1:        Traditional Classroom Setting

All In-Person is Option 1

All students are automatically enrolled in Option 1

• In-person learning and engagement
• Google Classroom is the learning system
• Social and personal interaction
• Immediate access to libraries and materials
• Participate in school-sponsored events

 

Option 2:        Distance Learning

In-Person and Online “distance learning”

Students are enrolled in option 2 for intermittent health concerns lasting approximately 2-4 weeks.  Or a committee will determine whether a need exists to require distance learning per semester.  If at any point our local Oklahoma City County Health Department suggests we are to close due to a surge in cases, we will automatically rely on distance learning. Contact your school principal for more information.

• Remain a COPS student
• The same learning system is used for “distance learning” and “Traditional Classroom” for easy transition.
• Online access for assignments and grades
• Technology and Internet provided, as needed. Certain conditions must be met. Contact your school principal with technology and/or Internet needs.

 

We ask that any current student who wishes to enroll in fully online coursework apply by August 1, 2021.  Please see the application here:

While at School

SCHOOL DAY OPERATIONS FOR ELMENTARY & SECONDARY

 

HOME HEALTH SCREENINGS

It is important that all families and staff partner with us in monitoring health. We ask that students and staff take their temperature on a daily basis at home prior to coming to COPS facilities and events and follow the self-screening checklist. No student or staff with a fever of 100.0 degrees or higher may enter any COPS facility. No fever reducing medication may be taken to reduce fever.

 

1. Do you have a fever of 100.0 or greater? Yes/No 

2. Do you currently have any flu like symptoms? Yes/No 

3. Do you currently have a cough or experiencing shortness of breath? Yes/No 

4. Have you had a sudden loss of taste or smell? Yes/No 

 

If you demonstrate any of the symptoms listed above and/or if you have a temperature then please report your absence to school staff

 

TEMPERATURE DEVELOPS WHILE AT SCHOOL

If a student or staff member exhibits a fever of 100.0 degrees or greater while at school, they must immediately be picked up from school or leave (if they are a driver).  We will have designated rooms for isolation until the student can be picked up. They cannot return to school until they are fever free for 24 hours without fever reducing medication.

 

MASKS & FACE COVERINGS

COPS will make every effort to promote healthy practices and protocols.  When possible social distancing will be implemented. Mask requirements may change due to the official COVID-19 health climate, local, state, and/or federal requirements.  We will work with the OCCHD regarding if they change mask mandates. 

• Grades 3-12: Masks and face coverings are required for students and staff in larger classes and with greater student mobility during passing periods and lunches. 

• Grades PreK-2: Masks and face coverings are required for students and staff in hallways, and common areas. Masks may be removed while inside classrooms if classroom cohorts remain grouped together throughout the day. Exceptions are allowed for the following: when eating meals, recess, and during physical education. 

• Grades PreK-12: All students are required to wear masks or face coverings during times of school transportation. 

• Masks and face coverings are not always best for the health of our students and staff with medical concerns. The medical exemption forms are available.

• All COPS staff will be provided face coverings and/or face shields. 

• Masks and face coverings must not include messages or images that distract from the learning environment as outlined for other articles of clothing in school dress code policies.

 

Learn more from the CDC here about facemasks:   

 

TRANSPORTATION

Due to the large number of students that rely on transportation provided by the district, social distancing will be challenging and may not be possible on all buses. Therefore, masks are required for all students while riding the bus due to close proximity. Transportation vehicles will be frequently cleaned and disinfected daily. When possible, windows will be down for air circulation, as recommended by the CDC and the Oklahoma State Department of Education. Parents need to take these factors into consideration when deciding if school or personal transportation is best for their child. Due to COVID-19, the district may need to alter bus routes.

 

ACADEMIC PROGRESS

COPS Administrators and Teachers worked throughout the summer to revise yearly curriculum pacing guides to include academic standards that were not taught last spring due to COVID-19. Students will have the opportunity to master any missed standards throughout the 2020-2021 school year.

 

ATTENDANCE

It is imperative for the health and safety of all students to learn remotely on days they have a fever or other symptoms of illness. Students who have a health reason that is verified by a parent/guardian or medical professional will receive an excused absence.

 

CLASSROOMS

Classroom desks and common seating areas (including tables) will be arranged to maximize space between students.  Seating charts will be required by all teachers for all classes. 

 

WATER FOUNTAINS & WATER BOTTLES

Students are encouraged to bring their own water bottles every day and they will have access to refill them. Standard water fountains that individuals directly drink from will not be available.

 

CLEANING & DISINFECTING

COPS will increase sanitization of high-contact surfaces throughout the school day. We are developing new protocols for day and evening custodians. Frequent hand-washing and other healthy protocols will be practiced and highly encouraged. Hygiene lessons and expectations will be taught at the elementary level. Hand sanitizer will be easily accessible throughout all schools. Upon notification of a positive COVID-19 case, classroom(s) and schools will be deep-cleaned.  COPS ventilation systems and HVAC units will be serviced regularly to aid in better air quality and filtration.

BREAKFAST & LUNCH

Each principal will develop their meal distribution plan to encourage hygiene and healthy eating environments. Please note, parents/visitors will not be allowed to eat meals with students in the school facilities. Parents are encouraged to limit the times they check their students out for lunch and/or drop-off lunch, to minimize unnecessary potential exposure. Child Nutrition staff will wear masks or face coverings during food preparation and food distribution.

 

If we are required to go to complete distance learning Grab & Go meals will be provided starting on Day 1 of distance learning. Delivery schedule will be dictated by our district’s Child Nutrition capabilities. 

 

RESTROOMS 

Student and staff restrooms will be frequently cleaned and disinfected daily.

 

LEARNING SYSTEMS

Pre-K – 2^nd grade will use Seesaw. Grade 3-12 will use Google Classroom. We encourage you to learn more about your student’s online learning system.

MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS

The social, emotional, and mental wellness of our students and staff are essential to a successful learning environment. Our mental health professionals and school counselors are prepared and available to help our students and families. We have numerous online mental health resources available at: https://www.crookedoak.org/vnews/display.v/SEC/Parent%20Resources

 

VISITORS & VOLUNTEERS

Visitors must have a temperature check upon arrival at the school, wear a mask or face covering if mandated, and answer the visitor health screening form. Visitors will only be allowed for essential purposes. Virtual meetings are highly encouraged.

 

COVID-19 SCENARIOS – EXPOSURE/CLOSE CONTACT & QUARENTINE GUIDELINES

For all positive COVID-19 cases, we will have two-way communications with the Oklahoma City County Health Department (OCCHD).  They will assist with contact tracing, isolation and quarantine requirements. In addition, we will work with the OCCHD regarding if school and/or district temporary closures are necessary. 

 

If a Staff Member or Student Test Positive for COVID-19: If a student or staff member test positive for COVID-19, they cannot return to COPS facilities until they are symptom free and have completed the quarantine requirements (10 days no symptoms without testing/ after day 7 after receiving a negative test result after day 5). During recovery, the student will transition to Distance Learning, Option 2, and their teachers will work with him/her to complete missed assignments. Please contact your school administration to alert of your absence and health situation. 

 

If a Classmate or Teacher Has Been Exposed/Close Contact with COVID-19:  COPS staff will notify all applicable staff and students’ parents/guardians who have been potentially exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. They will be notified as soon as possible. The letter will make them aware of the situation and explain if the student and staff have been potentially exposed via close contact. For those who have been potentially exposed via close contact, they will be required to quarantine for 10 days no symptoms without testing. Or they can return after day 7 after receiving a negative test result after day 5 to the COPS facilities. 

 

Exposure/Close Contact is considered to be within 6 feet for at least 15 minutes of an individual with COVID-19. The letter will provide further guidance that is applicable to each student and/or staff member affected. 

 

If a Family Member Test Positive for COVID-19: Please contact your school staff to alert of your health situation. Due to various close contact scenarios, school staff will discuss further guidance and COPS requirements for quarantine. NOTE: We will update our plan and procedures as health recommendations and guidance from the CDC, the Oklahoma City County Health Department, and local/state officials continues to evolve.

 

ARRIVAL & DISMISSAL

Arrival: Students who eat breakfast at the school may enter the front doors at the High School and Middle school and at the back doors of the Elementary 30 minutes prior to the beginning of school. Students who do not eat breakfast at the school may enter the facility 15 minutes prior to the beginning of school and will be directed to their classroom or cafeteria.  Students will not be allowed to congregate in front of the school doors prior to the doors being open. Please keep this in mind when dropping your student(s) off in the morning. Dismissal: Students will be directed to remain in their classroom or common area until their bus number, or car name is announced.

 

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL VISITORS

As an additional safeguard, parents, guardians, and other visitors will not be permitted to enter schools or escort students to class. Principals will release plans for students to help ensure they feel safe on the first days of school, with special arrangements made for PreK and Kindergarten students.

 

STUDENT SUPPLIES

Sharing of supplies such as crayons, markers, scissors, and pencils will not be allowed. Students will keep their individual supplies separated from those of others in individually labeled containers or cubbies.
