WHAT ARE YOUR COVID 19 PRECAUTIONS?

Little Scholars and Westwood Country Club are committed to providing a safe environment for our students and teachers.  We will adhere to policies and procedures in accordance with the CDC guidelines for schools.

Teachers, staff and students are required to wear a mask.  Students may remove their masks once seated at their desks. Masks will not be provided by Little Scholars or Westwood.   

We will take each child’s temperature once they enter the building.  Parents should wait until they are given the thumbs up before pulling away.

Parents will be required to keep children with a fever and/or who are exhibiting any COVID-19 symptoms at home.

Teachers and staff will not be allowed to teach if they have a fever or displaying COVID-19 symptoms. We will provide hand sanitizer that can be used throughout the day for students, staff and teachers.

We will encourage safe space seating at least six feet apart.

We will limit direct contact with parents as much as possible at drop off and pick up.  Drop off and pick up will be done in a car pool style format so parents will not need to enter the building.

We will keep each child’s belongings separated from others’ and in different areas.

We will avoid sharing toys, books, and other games or learning aids.

We will ensure that high-touch surfaces are routinely sanitized, and that contact is limited. Additionally, we have a nightly cleaning crew that will be coming in to clean after hours.

If an individual experiences symptoms, they will be immediately separated from all other students, staff member and teachers and will be sent home. They will be asked to quarantine until they receive test results. All parents will be notified and asked to be aware of any changes in their children.

If a student, staff member or teacher tests positive for COVID-19, parents will be immediately notified, and children will be sent home. If an individual tests positive, they will be required to quarantine for two weeks and receive two negative tests before returning to the program.

WHAT TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY DOES MY CHILD NEED?

Parents will be responsible for sending in any technology devices that will be needed for the sessions. Parents will provide access to the student information as it pertains to classwork, school log in information, etc. Parents will make sure their child’s technology device is fully charged before the session and will send the power source. Little Scholars or Westwood Country Club will not be responsible for any damage to technology devices.
