Health and Safety Procedures

The health and safety of our Roseland District students and staff is of the utmost concern. The following health and safety procedures, based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Sonoma County Public Health, will be followed when students return to school campuses:

• Small class size cohorts of 12-16 students, with social distancing measures in place

• Additional social distancing measures for breaks, recess and meals

• All students and staff who are sick will be required to stay home

• If a student is identified as sick during the day or upon arrival, a special care room will be available for the child to picked up

• Daily extensive cleaning and sanitization of all school campuses/classrooms

• Scheduled and frequent handwashing/use of hand sanitizer throughout the day

• Visitors to school campuses, including parents, will be limited in order to reduce virus exposure

• Parents/guardians will be notified if a COVID-19 case is identified within a classroom or school community

Additionally, guidance regarding face masks and daily temperature checks/health screening is still being developed. However, we do know that:

• Face masks will be required for all staff, as well as students age 13 years old and older

• Face masks may be required for students age 12 years old and younger; however, a final determination on this has not yet been made. We will update families as soon as a decision is made.

• Daily temperature checks may be required for all students and staff. The district is procuring no-touch forehead thermometers in order to prepare for this.
