The hallways are being waxed this weekend, so we will need to sanitize the building early Monday morning before anyone enters. Please do not come before 8:00 am to allow us time to do this. You will need to enter through the front center door and sign and return the Procedures for Returning to Work Form (at the front table) before you advance past the front office. Please do not open any side doors for anyone; everyone is required to enter through the front door. Listed below are the health guidelines on the Returning to Work Form (you will be signing). Please read in detail prior to coming to the building. There will be a follow-up blog post prior to Monday with health and safety guidelines for setting up your classroom.
Our top priority is the health and safety of our faculty, staff, and students!

PROCEDURES FOR REPORTING TO WORK
August 1, 2020
These guidelines are based on the
Governor’s health order that expires August 31, 2020. As employees return to work,
the following guidelines must be communicated first. Please be sure employees have this handout and
that they practice this information:
1) Be mindful of the 3 W’s. Wash hands
or use hand sanitizer frequently, watch their distance and stay 6 feet
apart, and wear a mask.
2) NO employees should come in the building if
they have experienced any of the following (in the past 10 days):
·
Were around someone who has
tested positive for COVID19 or who has symptoms of COVID 19.
·
Have a household member who
has tested positive for COVID19.
·
Have COVID 19 symptoms.
·
Are awaiting COVID19 test
results from their health care provider.
·
Have tested positive for
COVID 19.
·
Please
remind employees that special leave is in place for employees to use if they
have tested positive for COVID19 or will be taking care of a family member who
has tested positive for COVID 19. If you
or a family member have tested positive for COVID 19, please report to your
building principal (who will report this to Jim Kirkland).
PROCEDURES:
·
Take
your own temperature each day before reporting to the school. If you have
a temperature of 100 degrees or higher, stay home and report the temperature to
your supervisor.
·
Be
self-aware of other symptoms such as cough, sore throat, trouble breathing,
chills, muscle aches, headache, sudden lack of taste or smell, stomach ache,
nausea or diarrhea before coming to work and stay home if you have any
symptoms.
·
Masks will be required per the Governor’s health
order. Please provide your own masks.
·
Maintain a 6-foot physical distance.
·
Use hand sanitizer when you enter the building
and anytime you enter/exit your work area.
·
Clean
your work space (desktop, mouse, keyboard, door handles, etc.) when you arrive
and before you leave each day. Cleaning supplies will be provided to you.
·
Wipe down office equipment you use such as the
copy machine, paper cutters, shredders, desk phones, etc.
·
Only 1 person in the group bathrooms at a
time.
·
Wash
your hands regularly, use hand sanitizer and avoid touching your face.
·
In-person
meetings shall be minimal. Short meetings may be conducted as long as 6
feet of physical distancing is maintained.
Utilize Zoom as much as possible to meet with co-workers.
·
Use
of the kitchen/faculty lounge shall be limited to one person at a time. Note
that water fountains, ice maker and coffee makers will not be available for
use.
·
Non-essential
visitors or family members are not allowed. Essential visitors (as
determined by the building principal) must follow our visitor protocols.
We look
forward to a time when we can ease these restrictions, but for now, we must
follow them to keep everyone safe and healthy.
These guidelines may change at any time upon release of additional
directives by the Governor, Jefferson County Health Department, Alabama
Department of Public Health or Alabama State Department of Education. We expect additional information to be
released before August 31,
2020 that will provide guidance for the month of September 2020. Stay safe, wear your mask, wash your hands,
use hand sanitizer and social distance as we reopen.
