Morningstar Chinese School Reopening Safety Plans

 The health and safety of our students and teachers is always our highest priority. To mitigate the risks of COVID-19 while children are in our care.  Morningstar schools have adopted additional health and safety measures based on CDC guidelines, California State and Santa Clara County regulations in order to keep our campuses clean and our students and teaching staff safe.

• All Morningstar staff members and teachers receive temperature checks once a day.
• All students receive temperature checks and are monitored to ensure that we can identify developing changes. If a child becomes ill during the day, he or she will stay in a separate area while awaiting pickup.
• Face covering at the school is required for everyone, with exception given to children under 6 years of age. Our teachers help to make sure our students handle mask-wearing properly. This is extremely effective way to protect self and others.
• Make sure all teachers and students hand-washing and disinfecting throughout the day, especially before and after using bathrooms and for snacks. Teachers must wear disposable gloves for disinfecting and serving snack.
• All of the equipment is kept sanitized before handled to students.
• Touched surfaces will be cleaned daily before school and at the end of each day as well.
• Classroom settings that desks with any students must be spaced at least six feet apart.
• The routines inside the classroom facility shall be arranged as that the 6-feet distance among students kept always.  In the cohort; that teachers maintain at least 6 feet of distance from students well.
• Teachers and related staff are the only adults permitted to enter the classroom facility.  Pick up and drop off students in a designated location outside the classroom facility and keep physical distancing 6 feet apart.  This area will be supervised by Morningstar staff,
• If there are any positive case of covid-19 identified, Morningstar School administrators will contact local health department.  Affected staff and families of the school community will be notified of exposure to COVID-19, while maintaining confidentiality as required by state and federal laws.  In the event of an isolation, quarantine, or school closure that disrupts on-campus learning, distance learning alternatives will be implemented.
