RSD FAQ July 31.pdf

When does school start?
School starts on August 12, 2020 for all programs offered. We hope to have schedules made and information ready by next week.

Will my child have to wear a mask at school? What type of mask is needed?
Yes. All students (and staff) in grades TK to 8th grades will be required to wear a face covering (mask) at school by governor’s order to enter and exit, ride the bus, as well as travel throughout the buildings. Students in 3rd to 8th grades will be required to wear mask within the classrooms as well.

Mask minimum requirements:
Mask must cover mouth & nose
Mask must sit flush or create a seal to the face
If using a shield, there must be a drape that comes down off the bottom or a mask.
Examples: See Attachment for examples

What will social distancing look like at the school?
Students will remain in the same cohort (group) with the same teacher during the day to the greatest extent possible, including during recess and lunch, to limit intermingling with other students. Desks are spaced within the classrooms to follow the Shasta County Health guidelines. Materials within the classrooms will be allocated for individual use. Frequent hand-washing and/or use of hand sanitizer will be occurring. Staff will be positioned 6 feet between themselves and students as much as is practicable. Transitions within the middle school will be minimized.

Will the schools be temperature screening students?
No. We are asking that all families take the temperature of their child each morning and screen for illness. If your child has a temperature of 100.4 or higher you are to keep them home. If your child is sick please keep them home. Call the school as normal to let them know. We will take the temperature of students who are showing signs of being ill, as we have always done. We will be asking staff to do visual checks of students as they arrive.

Will my child have PE and recess? What about sports?
Yes. PE will still be happening as required. We are making schedules that keep cohorts intact during recess and lunch times with designated play areas as much as we can. All fall sports are postponed at this time.
