COVID-19 SAFETY PROCEDURES
Decision Making Tree for Post-Vaccine Symptoms
Safety Protocols
*If you have any COVID-10 like symptoms at all or are not feeling well, please DO NOT
come onsite UNLESS you have just gotten the vaccine (please see guidance above).
If coming onsite:
*You must continue to self-certify (updated with the new symptom guide) using Skyward.
*All staff must enter through the main entrance at each site.
*You must sign in using the sign in sheet, mark that you self-certified, and take and record your temperature. IF YOU HAVE A FEVER ABOVE 100.4 YOU ARE ASKED TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY AND REACH OUT TO YOUR PRINCIPAL AND HEATHER.
*Once Sharon/Marc are onsite, they will review the sign in sheet and cross check with the
self-certification report. If anyone is NOT cleared or did NOT self-certify, they will meet with them to ensure they are safe to be onsite. If not, they'll refer that employee to Heather.
*If you arrive after Sharon/Marc are onsite, please will report to the Health Office to check in so we know you have self-certified. Your temperature will also be taken and recorded. Employees will know to do this because, when Sharon/Marc arrive, they will pick up the sign
in log and put out a sign that says "Please come to the Health Office to check in".
When you come onsite, you can work in your classroom/workspace. Please feel free to use it as your own. I'd just ask that you work in that space as much as possible and not travel out much. You can, of course you can use the bathroom, lounge, copiers, etc. as needed. Please do not congregate in the hallways or in other spaces. We simply want to keep you safe.
If you are alone in your workspace and the door is closed, you may remove your mask. If anyone enters that space, everyone in the space MUST wear a mask and stay 6 ft apart at all times.
When you DO leave your room, I'd ask that you strictly follow the 4 W's to help keep yourself and others around you safe:
1. Wash your hands.
2. Wear your mask.
3. Watch your space.
4. Wait your turn.
If you are concerned that you have COVID-19 or have been exposed to COVID-19 and
have been
or are scheduled to be onsite, please let your principal, and/or me know
immediately so we can partner with you for your safety and for the safety of others.
You can trust that we will keep all this information confidential, balancing staff privacy and
system safety needs.
All staff MUST wear masks AT ALL TIMES
when onsite and in public spaces.
If you are working in an office/classroom
with the door closed, you may remove your
mask. It must be worn when anyone enters
that space with you.

TREAT YO SELF TO SELF CARE
I'm going to use the book 180 Days of Self-Care for Busy Educators by my friend Tina
Boogren to share weekly nuggets of self-care ideas for all of us.
Week 30: Transitions
It can be SUPER hard to manage transitions between times, tasks, and settings. JUst like it's
hard for kids, it's hard for us!
This week's invitation: Manage transitions.
Consider your transitions. Write down what your transitions are.
Reflect on your transitions. Which are hardest for you? Why? Do you carry over negative
energy from one activity to the next? Which transitions are easy? Why? Do you plow from
activity to activity knowing you need a break...but not taking one?
Extend response to transitions. As you shift from one activity to another, try these
three steps:
1. Close your eyes for one or two minutes.
2. Repeat the word release in your mind over and over. As you do this, command your body
to let go by relaxing your shoulders, neck, and jaw.
3. Set an intention. How do you want to feel? What do you want to accomplish in the next
task or activity? What energy do you need to take into the next activity?
Get better at something you already know how to do! If you play an instrument, commit to trying
a new piece. If you like to run, try a new location or set a different goal for time/duration.
