Temperature Screening at Arrival
Upon arrival to school, all students’ temperatures will be taken by a staff member using a no-touch infrared thermometer.   If the reading is 100.4 or higher the student will not be permitted to attend school that day.  During drop-off, students must remain in their cars and await temperature screening before exiting their vehicles.    Students who bike, walk or drive themselves to school who screened with a high temperature reading will report to the office to obtain parental consent to be checked out of school.  No student with a fever will be allowed to remain at school.

Early Learning Center drop-off and pick-up
Classroom drop-off or pick-up at the Early Learning Centers should be minimized to infants-3 years old only if necessary.  In this case, the parent would be required to wear a face covering while in the building.  VPK Parents may drop off students at the door but may not enter the building.

Classroom Access – Visitors, Volunteers, and Vendors
Visitors - To limit the possibility of exposure to the coronavirus, visitors to classrooms will be suspended until further notice both during the day and for drop-off and pick-up.  
Volunteers – Classroom volunteers will be limited to only those volunteers providing specific academic and instructional support.
Vendors – Vendors such as Title 1 tutors; therapists; and/or contractors will be allowed on campus.

All visitors, volunteers, and vendors must adhere to the individual school’s face covering and screening protocol.

Early Dismissal for Illness
If a student (age 4 or above) is ill during the school day, he/she will be required to wear a face mask.  Sick students must be picked up by a parent or guardian within an hour, unless other arrangements have been approved by the school administrator. In an effort to prevent further spread of an illness, it is essential that a student is picked up within the agreed upon time. If not, DCF or other appropriate authorities will be contacted to intervene.  

Return to School After Illness
To safely return to school, the student must be fever free for 24 hours without any fever reducing medication, present a doctor’s note to return to school, and/or a negative COVID-19 test.

Virtual Learning Option
All parents of students selecting the virtual learning option will be required to sign the Diocese of Orlando Virtual Learning Consent Form which gives permission to participate in password-protected livestreamed classes. 

• Livestreamed classes are not open to public view. 
• Tuition is the same whether a student attends classes in person or opts for synchronous virtual learning. 
• Those who opt for synchronous virtual learning are not eligible to participate in such events.  To be eligible for extracurricular activities and athletics a student must attend and participate in in-person classes. 
• Should face-to-face learning be suspended due to a COVID-19 local outbreak, tuition will not be discounted or refunded.

Parent/Teacher Conferences
Parents are not allowed in classrooms during the school day.  It is preferred that parent-teacher conferences are conducted virtually, by phone, or by email.  In person conferences must be limited and by appointment only in order to minimize exposure.

Field Trips
Field trips (excluding sporting events in high schools) are not permitted within the Diocese of Orlando until further notice.   Exception:  Diocesan schools may conduct retreats and activities where students from one diocesan school visits another.
