Part I: Guiding Principles Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has presented the most serious public health crisis the world has experienced in generations. Looking to the 2021-22 school year and beyond, the Academy of Our Lady of Peace (OLP) is resolved to do everything we can to reopen, remain open, and return to the greatest sense of “normal”, because we believe doing so is in the best interest of our young women. We also recognize the importance of balancing campus safety with the health and wellbeing of our entire community.

This new reality calls all of us to added responsibilities and accountability. Acting with self-awareness, sensitivity to others, and agency will be key. When your daughter expresses frustration with rules, express your understanding, but discourage her cynicism and remind her why the measures are in place. When your daughter comes down with a cough or fever and complains of not feeling well, please keep her home until she is asymptomatic. If your workplace has a particularly innovative way they are addressing these issues, please pass it along. A collective and unified community effort has never been so important!

This Roadmap is guided by five principles: 1. Act with fidelity to the OLP Mission, CSJ Charism, and values of inclusive learning within a diverse all-girls’ environment.

2. Prefer face to face learning over remote learning whenever it is safe to do so.

3. Prioritize student, faculty, and staff health, safety, and wellbeing over other principles.

4. Ensure hygiene and health-related policies are research-based, clearly communicated, effectively implemented, and diligently enforced.

5. Promote practices and policies to reduce risk of virus transmission and support our capacity to be responsive and agile when facing changing health circumstances.

Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion OLP remains committed to implementing intentional work around diversity, equity, and inclusion in all areas of the academic curriculum, student clubs, student leadership retreats, investment in professional development, and more. OLP strives to cultivate an inclusive environment that welcomes people of any color, race, ethnicity, or faith and will continue to do so in whichever model is implemented.

Part 1 of this document establishes the first principle as our foundation for planning, acting, and decision making. It is important to present a discussion of rights and responsibilities through the lens of our Mission. Members of our community have certain rights, but they also have

4

responsibilities to others. The significance of these mutual obligations will be heightened for the foreseeable future, which is why OLP feels an open review of the first principle is an important starting point for this document.

Part 2 of this document provides a rationale for the second principle listed above, which concerns OLP’s preference for face to face learning. This section describes the three learning models that the school may deploy at any given time depending upon the severity of the pandemic within the local community and the school site itself. This section also explains how we will tether these learning models to our assessments of risk – that is, what drivers will influence our movement from one risk level to another? And what learning model is most appropriate to each risk level? The illustration provided on the right will be explained in detail in Part 2.

Part 3 of this document addresses the third, fourth, and fifth principles. The third principle, which concerns the health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff, will always be the most important driver in decisions taken. The fourth and fifth principles complement the third, asserting the importance of mitigating risk through precautions involving social responsibilities, preventative hygiene and physical distancing.

Part 4 of this document provides implications for the Activities and Athletics programs. These opportunities are central to the OLP experience and our students value them greatly. However, our co-curricular programs need to be aligned quite tightly to our assessment of risk and corresponding learning model. This alignment will be explained in Part 4.

Mission-Directed in a Time of Crisis Values matter, especially as we continue to navigate year two of this global pandemic.

Accordingly, the first principle guiding this Roadmap states, “Act with fidelity to OLP’s Commitment, Mission, and Core Values.”

OLP Mission and CSJ Charism “Founded and rooted in the Gospel values of the Catholic church and the charism of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, the Academy of Our Lady of Peace empowers young women in an innovative learning environment that honors the individual while fostering community, and develops faith-filled leaders dedicated to the ‘love of God and the dear neighbor without distinction.’”

The OLP Mission allows us to cut through competing priorities and make difficult decisions.

Furthermore it reminds us that we are all connected and that we have reciprocal obligations to one another.

As we consider the school’s philosophy statement, it similarly is a guiding post for how we should proceed to develop an educational program that is rooted in both our Mission, CSJ charism, and philosophy of learning.

OLP celebrates a rich history of empowering young women to become Catholic leaders in their local community and in the world. Guided by Gospel values and the charism of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, faculty and staff inspire young women to be leaders who impact global change by building community through a conscious love of God and love of the dear neighbor without distinction. As a woman of faith, woman of heart, woman of courage and woman of excellence, an OLP student is provided opportunities to put her faith into action, and become a transformative agent of change in our world.

The school is committed to research-based practices, which foster intellectual curiosity and a passion for learning through an interdisciplinary lens, in order to form collaborative learners, visionaries and innovators. Looking toward preparing students for the future, critical thinking skills are woven across the curriculum, leveraging technology as a tool to facilitate student learning in an ever-changing world. An OLP student is encouraged to explore her passions within academic, athletic, co-curricular and spiritual activities, and develop a mindset ready to take risks and to strive for excellence.

The school celebrates the uniqueness of the individual girl and intentionally strives to foster an inclusive community, celebrating sisterhood and unifying love. While OLP endeavors to ensure there is a richness of opportunities to challenge student thinking, cultivate confidence and expand her capacity, rigorous learning is consistently balanced in an environment of support and joy. In partnership with parents as the primary educators, OLP seeks opportunities to actively engage them in their daughter’s transformative academic and faith experiences.

In looking at the Integral Student Outcomes (ISOs), OLP parents and students work as partners in the development of Christian values and leadership education to allow young women to grow in all the skills necessary to compete in today’s global society. They are considered integral as they unify all the academic, social and spiritual outcomes that OLP establishes as goals for its students.

In the spirit of the founding Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, the following four ISOs are derived from Mother St. John Fontbonne where the following words were written on the wall “femmes de foi, femmes to coeur, femmes de courage.” As CSJ students, OLP looks to help all our young women become a woman of faith, woman of heart, woman of courage and woman of excellence.

A woman of faith who... ● maintains a relationship with “God and the dear neighbor without distinction” ● understands and values Catholic teachings ● applies Gospel values through her actions and choices ● encourages and serves as a model to others in fostering the mission of Jesus in our world A woman of heart who… ● actively works to foster solidarity, unity and sisterhood in a spirit of joy ● recognizes and values the diversity of society ● acts as a responsible member of the global community to promote justice and peace ● strives for unity and reconciliation through compassion for others A woman of courage who... ● takes initiative in response to challenges ● advocates for social justice embodying Catholic Social Teaching ● perseveres through challenges and adversity ● chooses integrity regardless of personal consequences A woman of excellence who... ● seeks collaboratively to solve problems through critical thinking and creative solutions ● seeks opportunities to be challenged and takes risks in the active pursuit of learning ● communicates ideas and perspectives effectively and articulately through appropriate mediums ● adapts to emerging technology responsibly It is therefore through the lens of our Mission, guided by our CSJ charism, informed by the research and best practices in our philosophy of how girls learn best that we actively strive to help our students emerge from this four-year education as academic, social and spiritual leaders that we present the academic plan that follows.

A Pledge for Safety Ensuring that OLP is able to open our campus successfully, while maintaining a healthy environment this next school year, will require the commitment of every student, parent, faculty and staff. It will be a pledge for safety that calls all of us to respect each individual.

Rights — Every student, teacher, or staff member should be safe to be in a “learning environment that honors the individual while fostering community”“ (OLP Mission statement). This fundamental right to feel safe within the OLP school community also implies we all have a right to expect both emotional and physical safety. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this means members of our community can reasonably expect a heightened level of concern for their health and wellbeing. While it is possible that students, teachers, or staff members will be exposed to COVID-19 in the course of their work or studies, everyone is entitled to expect that every effort and reasonable precaution will be taken to prevent this from happening.

Responsibilities — Our commitment to “love of God and the dear neighbor without distinction” (OLP Mission Statement; CSJ charism) also implies that members of our community should know, value, and care for others. This means our interactions with others—friends and strangers, students and adults—should be self-aware, respectful, and courteous. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this means complying willingly with rules, policies and protocols designed to keep our community safe and healthy. This means thinking of others, appreciating that their risk tolerance might be lower than ours, and adjusting our behavior with sensitivity and respect. This means respecting policies and expectations, even when inconvenient to ourselves.

In some communities, measures taken to prevent COVID-19 infection have ignited conflicts between the liberty of individuals and perceptions of the common good. We will not tolerate this strife to infiltrate the OLP school community. Rather, we expect our respect for and sense of duty to others to be visible in a myriad ways, including the following: ● How all members of our community, and visitors to our campus respect current safety protocols ● How all members of our community, and visitors to our campus interact with each other in and out of the classroom, and take responsibility for maintaining a healthy environment; ● How all members of our community, and visitors to our campus treat others—staff, janitorial and cleaners, teachers, food service personnel, front office staff, administrators, etc.—as people worthy of their respect and deserving of safety themselves; ● How parents support the school in ongoing education at home and adherence to the current guidelines;

How all members of our community, and visitors to our campus follow self-screening guidelines for symptoms of illness and refrain from coming to campus when symptomatic; and; How all members of our community, and visitors to our campus comply with self-quarantine rules regarding exposure to COVID-19.

The challenges of establishing a “new normal” will be compounded if we are unwilling to change and adapt our behaviors. There is no time such as the present to show one another that “love of God and the dear neighbor without distinction” starts on our own OLP campus. COVID-19 has disrupted life as we knew it. To navigate this unprecedented public health challenge, mutual respect, trust, and a deep sense of our reciprocal obligations to one another will be essential.

This pledge for safety will also call us to create an even deeper culture of care here at OLP, rooted in safe practices, intentional habits to mitigate the spread of the virus, and staying home when sick. Together, our pledge for safety will keep our entire community healthier as we head into the future.

Part II: Learning Models Introduction OLP believes learning should be an active, contextualized, and constructive process for students that allows them to grow academically, socially, and emotionally. We believe that our girls construct knowledge through experience and social mediation and that the essential purpose of school is to provide supportive learning environments that are rich in engagement, social interaction, and feedback. Relationships play an essential role in every student’s school experience. Accordingly, OLP is highly motivated to provide students with opportunities to learn in face to face environments whenever it is safe to do so.

OLP prioritizes face to face learning as a long-term ideal model, and distance learning as a short-term mediation to meet student needs as are necessary during COVID. Distance learning is necessary when health and safety conditions leave no other option. All three models are informed by OLP’s philosophy of learning, which states: “The school is committed to research-based practices, which foster intellectual curiosity and a passion for learning through an interdisciplinary lens, in order to form collaborative learners, visionaries and innovators... The school celebrates the uniqueness of the individual girl and intentionally strives to foster an inclusive community, celebrating sisterhood and unifying love. While OLP endeavors to ensure there is a richness of opportunities to challenge student thinking, cultivate confidence and expand her capacity, rigorous learning is consistently balanced in an environment of support and joy.”

Three Models for Learning In anticipation of ongoing and evolving challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, OLP has developed three models for learning. These models take into account Principle 2, which states, “Prefer face to face learning over remote learning whenever it is safe to do so.”

The first model, which we call our Standard Face to Face Learning Model, describes an on-campus school experience where students attend school five days a week. If conditions demand that we close our campus, OLP will adopt our Distance Learning Model. Finally, we have identified an alternative to this open-or-closed dichotomy, which we call our Modified Face to Face Learning Model. This model acknowledges the critical role face to face interactions play in a student’s learning while implementing physical distancing norms that reduce student density. More detail about each of these models follows below: Standard Face to Face Learning Model: This is a standard face to face school experience with all students attending school in-person five days a week. We will utilize our regular block schedule with 80-minute blocks, and 15-minute breaks. Students interact with peers and

teachers in what we feel is essential to our mission and philosophy of learning. The learning that happens off campus is mostly in the form of homework, projects, and an extension of the classroom. Preventative hygiene policies are implemented in combination with current physical distancing guidelines provided by SDCPH, CDPH and the CDC. The risk of exposure to the virus that causes COVID-19 is considered low enough that greater student density in classrooms, and in other shared facilities is appropriate.

Modified Face to Face Learning Model: Should there be a situation of increased risk in the OLP community, the school could look at a hybrid model of learning. This model combines face to face learning with 50% of the student-body on campus at a time. This model recognizes that Distance Learning does not provide the social interaction most students desire; therefore, a modified face to face model provides face to face learning two days a week, with 50% of the school population being exposed to one another. Learning will be extended independently through asynchronous work. This model introduces physical distancing and density reduction as key strategies to further reduce exposure within our community, while at the same time providing face to face interaction between students and teachers about half of the time.

Distance Learning Model: This model would only be used should there be an extreme exposure risk where extensive risk of spread within the OLP community was projected. This decision would be made in consultation with the San Diego County Health Department Office of Epidemiology.

Choosing a virtual option is also available for those families whose family health conditions are such that returning to a standard face to face learning model is not available at this time while the global pandemic continues. This will be available during the 2021-2022 school year. A family will need to make a choice for the entire academic semester.

Moving From Virtual Learning to Face-to-Face Parents who have elected for the Virtual Academy experience (Distance Learning Model) for their daughters will need to make a choice for the entire semester. Changes from one learning modality to another will only be made at the semester. If a family is requesting a change, they would notify the school’s registrar, Mr. Nelson Kim at nkim@aolp.org.

A family can choose to move into the Virtual Academy at any time, but will not be able to return to face-to-face learning until the next academic semester.

Safety Implications of Each Model The following table provides an overview of safety implications of the three learning models described on the previous page.

Model

Safety Implications

Risk Level is LOW. ● Full density of all students on OLP Campus and use of all campus Standard spaces.

Face to Face ● Full classroom usage Learning An on-campus experience would include: Model ● Personal hygiene protocols (handwashing, masks in hallways, etc.) ● COVID cleaning protocols at the end of the day, and robust monthly Risk Level is MEDIUM. Internal indicators and local SDCPH advisories would advise caution.

Modified ● Density reduction targets at 50% of students on campus at a time.

Face to Face ● Greater use of outdoor spaces.

Learning An on-campus experience would include: Model ● Only situations where distancing norms are possible. ● Personal hygiene protocols (handwashing, masks, etc.) strictly enforced. ● COVID cleaning protocols would be focused on designated zones, and robust cleaning after the end of the day.

Distance Learning Model

Risk Level is HIGH. Internal indicators and local SDCPH would advise physically closing our campus for a period of time as the best course of action. ● The OLP campus would be closed except for Essential Personnel. ● Indicators would include rising infection rates within our own school community. ● There would be no on campus experiences. ● All courses and activities would be conducted virtually.

Managing Personal Items It is imperative that students minimize the sharing of personal items with other students.

Students should minimize the sharing of books, technology, resources, personal care items, food, or paperwork with other students, faculty, or staff. Reducing the spread of COVID-19 begins with each individual on campus being responsible for their own personal items.

Minimizing the sharing of personal items helps to mitigate the spread.

Standard Face to Face Learning Model OLP believes that the Standard Face to Face Learning Model with all students on campus, while adhering to current safety measures is our primary goal. This OLP community of learners is unique and special. It is transformative and allows young women to grow academically, socially and spiritually. That can best be achieved on the OLP campus, in a face to face learning experience as an entire community joined by faculty, staff and students together. To that end, our school is striving to employ a myriad of layers to allow that ultimate goal to be reached.

Modified Face to Face Learning Model (Hybrid) OLP considered many different scheduling options for the Modified Face to Face Learning Model on its OLP Campus. Our second guiding principle, which states, “Prefer face to face learning over remote learning whenever it is safe to do so,” remained a primary driver in our decision-making. We set out to have students on campus 50% of the time and learning through digital experiences the other 50%. To accomplish this goal, we developed a model that rotates schedules with the two cohorting groups, each alternating turns in taking over the facilities.

The Modified Face to Face Learning Model would allow for all students to be on campus 2 or 3 days a week, with 50% of the campus at a time. This approach would meet the criteria detailed on the previous page and have half classes attending together in large classrooms as well as maximizing outdoor learning classrooms. Faculty members would teach both cohort rotations. It would maximize class hours, socialization time for students, face time with faculty members, and maintain a consistent habit of on-campus learning.

Accommodations will be made for family carpooling pods, and parent work constraints.

Distance Learning Model A focus on community, relationships, and student-centered instruction was a focus of the move to a distance learning virtual environment for OLP. Even though our students were no longer able to remain on a physical site with face to face instruction, the research-based instructional pedagogy optimal for all-girls’ learning was still incorporated through the Zoom platform via synchronous learning. Should the risk levels reach a degree that inhibits the OLP campus from once again operating in a face to face environment, the school is prepared to return to a Distance Learning Model.

Mindful of varied learning styles, teachers’ lessons (direct instruction) are recorded to provide students the opportunity to review them at a later time. This also is a support strategy for those students with documented learning disabilities.

The anticipated schedule for the All School Distance Learning Model will be as follows:

Community Day or Masses Held Virtually

OLP Virtual Academy OLP recognizes that there are families with students who are themselves in a high-risk population, or possibly live with a family member at high-risk for COVID-19. In an effort to support all learners, a family can opt-in to the OLP Virtual Academy, at any time during the semester by emailing the Registrar, Nelson Kim, at nkim@aolp.org.

Parents who have elected for the Virtual Academy experience (Distance Learning Model) for their daughters will need to make a choice for the entire semester. Changes from one learning modality to another will only be made at the semester. If a family is requesting a change, they would notify the school’s registrar, Mr. Nelson Kim at nkim@aolp.org.

A family can choose to move into the Virtual Academy at any time, but will not be able to return to face-to-face learning until the next academic semester.

Please note that those students who are opting to take part in a distance learning model (Virtual Academy students) while we are in either the Standard Face to Face or the Modified Face to Face Model, will follow the schedule of the face to face students.

Students choosing to take part in the OLP Virtual Academy should be prepared for greater personal accountability of their learning, and self-reliance. They will need to speak-up, reach out to the teacher or their student partner pair in the face-to-face classroom if struggling, and schedule times with the teacher to follow-up if experiencing difficulties.

The teacher will connect to the virtual students in the designated Zoom Room, either through the Swivl Technology or through the TV in the Classroom. The student will also be viewed on the TV in the classroom, and heard over the speakers. Our goal is to work to provide an interactive learning environment for those face to face and virtual. You can read more about how Swivl and Zoom paired together allow for an interactive hybrid classroom: Swivl.

Mass, Assemblies and Large Group Gatherings Our Cathlic identity is a crucial component of the unique OLP community, our Mission and the CSJ charism. Equal to that is maintaining a safe and healthy OLP campus. Throughout the next year, OLP will follow the guidance from state and local health officials regarding large group gatherings. As is possible, OLP plans to move forward with traditional schoolwide assemblies, rallies, and Liturgical Celebrations as an entire school community. Depending upon current guidance these will take place in the Holy Family Event Center or North Terrace.

Current guidance will also dictate protocols regarding physical distancing and face coverings.

Sisters and Scholars Support Since 2014, OLP has been proud to support students with a documented learning disability.

These students are provided with a separate counselor to support them throughout their academic, social and spiritual journey in high school. Through academic accommodations, provided through their testing, students, parents, faculty, and our counselors work to support all students toward success. Individual learning plans are developed in partnership with the student, parent and the Sisters and Scholars designated counselor.

Specific accommodations to support students are transferred whether in a face to face or virtual learning environment. Specific tools such as Zoom, allow for resources that can often help students with learning differences, and aid all students in their learning, such as recording the instruction, chat features to clarify what was being taught and download at the end of each lesson, no need for preferential seating, online resources available for all, and in a virtual environment shorter learning sessions.

All Sisters and Scholars (along with their siblings), will be given the opportunity to attend classes in person, four days a week, in consultation with their parents, counselor and Assistant Principal. This would apply if OLP is in either the Standard or Modified face to face learning model. This would not apply if the entire school is in a Distance Learning model.

Social-Emotional Support System OLP recognizes that during this time of COVID-19 there is an abundance of added stress on students, families, faculty and staff. In addition to the work of the OLP Counseling team, the school will also intentionally integrate Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) strategies and workshops into the school curriculum to further support students’ development of skills in this critical area. Under the guidance of the Assistant Principals, and in partnership with the

15

Counseling team, SEL lessons will be integrated into the curriculum on a monthly basis around the five core principles.

Regular check-ins with parents will be conducted through the counseling office. Counselors will continue to hold monthly Coffee with Counselors meetings and encourage opportunities for families to build relationships.

Social and Emotional Learning1 provides students a vital tool kit to help manage the multitude of emotions that they may be facing during the COVID-19 crisis. The graphic to the right shows how the Social and Emotional skills taught help students across a myriad of necessary areas to grow in life skills.

Part III: Health & Safety Introduction Guiding Principles 3, 4, and 5, which are repeated again below, further informed this planning: 3. Prioritize student, faculty, and staff health, safety, and wellbeing over other principles.

4. Ensure hygiene and health-related policies are research-based, clearly communicated, effectively implemented, and diligently enforced.

5. Promote practices and policies to reduce risk of virus transmission and support our capacity to be responsive and agile when facing changing health circumstances.

Campus Readiness Task Force We are grateful to the Campus Readiness Task Force (CRTF) that came together to lead this important work. The CRTF formed the following shared understandings to frame the work in this section: ● Focus on the variables we can control; ● Use reliable, scientific sources to guide our understanding of the virus that causes COVID-19 and how to best effectively prevent our community’s exposure to it; ● Remain adaptable, knowing experts’ understanding of the virus will evolve; ● Seek ways to reduce risk of virus transmission, not eliminate it; ● Identify external and internal drivers that would lead us to tighten or loosen restrictions; and ● Ensure new policies and protocols are flexible and can be implemented and maintained.

CRTF included members with a background in large business operations, civic leaders, healthcare and immunology to guide us in the science of COVID-19 prevention and risk mitigation related to specific areas, in addition to our own learnings including reading numerous publications, attending webinars, and closely following local and regional regulations and guidelines.

CRTF Members include the following: ● Dr. Lauren Lek, Head of School, OLP ● Toni Russo, Director of Facilities, OLP ● Andrea Seikelay, Chief of Staff, Office of the Head of School, OLP ● Paul Baribault, President & Chief Executive Officer at San Diego Zoo Global ● Tony Evenson, Chief Financial Officer at Manpower ● John Galvan, Director of Schools for the Office of Schools at the Diocese of San Diego ● Dr. Edward Greene, Regional Medical Director at Sharp Rees-Stealy South Bay ● Victoria Greene, OLP School Nurse

OLP Approach to Safety The OLP approach to safety has four pillars: Physical Distancing and Reducing Student Density; Health Screening and Preventative Hygiene; Cleaning, Sanitizing, and Disinfecting; and Communications, Training, and Coordination.These four areas align with the guidance on school reopening from the CDPH, CDE, SDCOE and SDCPH. Each of these critical areas helps shape our approach to ensuring our policies and protocols provide the necessary conditions on the ground to mitigate risk of exposure to COVID-19. We identified these pillars through ongoing study of the growing literature on COVID-19, such as how to reduce transmission risk of the virus, the role masks and effective hand-washing play in protection, and how to reduce and kill surface germs in a school setting. We also know that the best operations plan must be clear, flexible, and sustainable, and therefore our efforts only become operational when we can communicate, train and coordinate these efforts effectively. Lastly, incorporating our pillars into the typical day of an OLP student remains paramount, as the “new normal” needed to preserve elements of what’s special about coming to school everyday.

Personal Protective Equipment Current CDPH guidance requires that all students and adults are required to wear a face mask, covering the nose and mouth, while indoors in the classroom, regardless of vaccination status.

Face coverings are optional while outdoors.

All students, faculty and staff are required to bring two of their own CDC-approved face masks, and a plastic zip lock bag labeled with their name on it, to place the cloth face mask upon completion of use. The second face mask will be used in the case that the first one becomes soiled or dirty.

Face masks are expected to be in compliance with our OLP dress code, and not include any messages or images contradictory to the Mission and CSJ charism. Students wearing a face mask that does not conform to these expectations, will be provided a single use disposable face mask.

Please note that masks with small plastic valves embedded in the front will not be permitted.

According to health experts, while these types of masks protect the wearer, they do not protect others.

If for medical reasons, an individual is choosing to wear a face shield, it needs to include a cloth drape attached across the bottom and tucked into a shirt.

Below is an example of a clear mask that could be used for safety in teaching and human to human interactions, the clear shield would help to alleviate the communication barrier found in the cloth and disposable mask.

If a replacement face covering is needed, any individual may request a disposable face mask at either the Front Office or the Health Center. Those will be available during all school business hours.

Cleaning of Face Coverings The individual (student, faculty, staff, visitor) will be responsible for the nightly cleaning of their personal face covering.

Cloth face masks should be washed nightly to ensure that they are clean for the next day.

Disposable face masks should only be worn for a single use.

Medically necessary disposable face shields should only be worn for a single use. Medically necessary reusable face shields should be cleaned and disinfected after each use, and ready for the subsequent day.

Consequences for Failure to Adhere to Face Covering Guidelines All students and parents will be provided with training prior to the start of the academic school year. The training will be recorded so that it can be reviewed at a later date. Information on the importance of current safety protocols will be available on the OLP website and on Blackbaud.

In classes, teachers will reinforce and model the importance of current safety protocols.

Students not adhering to these guidelines will be provided with reminders, education and training, and warnings. Should the problem persist, students will have a meeting with their Assistant Principal, and parents will be notified. Students may also receive demerits, Saturday detentions, suspension, or further disciplinary consequences for willful disobedience.

Classroom Physical Distancing Based on current school guidance, classrooms will be spaced with desks a minimum of 3 feet apart. In order to allow for collaborative learning, most conducive to how girls’ learn, desks in most classrooms will be arranged in small pods facing each other, allowing for discussions, while still remaining physically distanced. Physical distance will not be enforced while outside.

In addition, each classroom in the Navarra, Shiley, and Qualioto halls have been upgraded with an additional HVAC filtration system, killing any bacteria upon the air entering into the classroom. In St. Cecilia, Carondelet, and St. Catherine’s, the rooms are all equipped with large windows and ample air flow.

Health Screening and Preventative Hygiene Another essential pillar recommended by health care professionals and epidemiology involves personal health screenings and preventive hygiene. Our goal is to prevent symptomatic students and adults from interacting with other community members or entering our campus.

Faculty, Staff, Student Personal Health Screenings All students, faculty, and staff should self-screen daily for cold and flu-like systems and/or exposure prior to coming to campus, and stay home if experiencing any new COVID symptoms.

Parents/Guardians will play a critical role in supporting these health screenings at home, prior to coming to campus.

Any student, faculty, or staff with a fever above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, or exhibiting any of the COVID-19 symptoms, should remain home and seek medical attention.

If an employee or student becomes ill at work/school or is exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19, they will be able to access the OLP Nurse on campus, on the first floor of Navarra Hall.

COVID-19 Symptoms According to the CDC COVID-19 resources page, people with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with the following symptoms listed below may have COVID-19: ●

● ● ● ●

Fever with or without or chills/rigors (fever defined as greater than or at 100 degrees that does not resolve within 30 min without medication) Shortness of breath New loss of taste or smell Sore throat Poor feeding or poor appetite*

● ● ● ● ● ● ●

Cough* Fatigue* Headache* Nasal congestion or runny nose* Nausea or vomiting* Diarrhea* Muscle or body aches*

This list does not include all possible symptoms. The CDC will continue to update this list as they learn more about COVID-19. Those symptoms listed above with an asterisk (*) may be the result of a chronic, pre-existing condition. If so, we ask you to provide the school with a doctor’s note indicating this pre-existing condition so we are aware of it. If another symptom presents itself, that is not part of that pre-existing condition, stay home, and seek guidance from your doctor.

Students, visitors and employees will be asked to self-check prior to entering the campus for any COVID-19 symptoms and remain home if sick.

COVID Scenarios Requiring School Contact The OLP School Nurse is the designated liaison for all students and families to report the following COVID-19 scenarios. You can also email at covid19@aolp.org. There are many “what if” situations, but we are focused on the following three scenarios: 1. Symptomatic: if a student or employee is experiencing any of the above COVID-19 symptoms, that are not part of a chronic, pre-existing condition for which they are under a doctor’s care, they need to contact the school and stay home. Please see the SDCOE decision tree for the return to campus instructions.

OLP This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

21

a. With a Negative Molecular Test and symptoms improved, individuals should be 24 hours without fever and no use of fever-reducing medicine.

2. Close Contact with a COVID-19 positive (C-19+): if a student or employee lives with or has had close contact with someone who has (a) tested COVID-19 positive, or (b) been advised by their doctor that they are presumed to have COVID-19 and will not be tested or tested negative, they need to contact the school and follow the SDCOE decision tree for the return to campus instructions.

3. C-19+ Student/Employee: if a student or employee has (a) tested COVID-19 positive, or (b) been advised by their doctor that they are presumed to have COVID-19 and will not be tested, they need to contact the school at COVID19@aolp.org, stay home and Home Quarantine or Home Isolation. Please see the SDCOE decision tree for the return to campus instructions.

The OLP Nurse will notify local health officials and coordinate any necessary contact tracing if a student or employee tests COVID-19 positive. Should a family believe that they might have been exposed to an individual positive with COVID-19 (Close Contact Definition: within 6 feet for more than 15 minutes or more, over a 24-hour period, of an infected person starting from 2 days before illness onset), this is considered a close contact - please contact the School Nurse and follow the SDCOE Symptom Decision Tree below for return to school guidelines.

No student or family will face negative repercussions for reporting being symptomatic, having a close contact with someone with COVID-19, or testing positive for COVID-19. The school has plans in place to prevent any discrimination against students, families, or employees who are diagnosed with COVID-19. The school will also work with the San Diego Public Health Office of Epidemiology to maintain confidentiality to the greatest extent possible.

Guidance Documents from San Diego County Health and Human Services in partnership with the San Diego County Office of Education: CDC COVID-19 Symptoms COVID-19 SDCOE Symptom Decision Tree Self-Isolation CDC Close Contact Home Quarantine

Quarantine Guidelines Based on Recently Acquired Immunity Status The SDCOE Symptom Decision Tree outlines the following two situations in which individuals who have acquired immunity status do not need to quarantine after a close contact. According to the CDC, quarantine is not required for people who have been in close contact with someone who has COVID-19 under the following scenarios:

OLP This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

22

● ●

People who have tested positive for COVID-19 within the past three months (90 days) and recovered and are not now experiencing another onset of any COVID-19 symptom.

People who have been fully vaccinated (i.e, two weeks past final dose of a COVID-19 Vaccine) and are not now experiencing an onset of any COVID-19 symptom.

If you have been contacted by the School Nurse or other school administrator for being a close contact, and are being asked to quarantine, you may provide proof of a COVID-19 positive test result within the past three months, or proof of being fully vaccinated.

The school will require either: ● An electronic copy of the positive COVID-19 PCR test, or; ● A copy of the vaccine card or electronic image of vaccine card or health care document showing vaccination status and date of last vaccination

Returning to the OLP Campus After Symptoms, Close Contact or Positive Test Please review the SDCOE COVID-19 Decision Tree for information on Home Isolation or Quarantine Instructions and return to school timelines.

COVID-19 Scenarios Symptomatic Student or Employee* A student or employee either exhibits COVID-19 (C-19) symptoms, answers yes to a symptom self-screening question, or has a temp greater than 100.0.

1

NOTE: OLP will disregard a symptom if school personnel are already aware of a chronic, pre-existing condition that causes that symptom, and the nature of the symptom [e.g., duration, intensity] is consistent with what school personnel and parents are familiar with. A note should be on file with the OLP school nurse.

Return to OLP Campus Please review the SDCOE COVID-19 Decision Tree for information on Home Isolation or Quarantine Instructions and return to school timelines.

Individuals who are symptomatic who have a Negative Molecular Test may return to campus, if symptoms are not part of a pre-existing condition for which they are under a doctor’s care for, when symptoms have improved and are 24 hours without fever and no use of fever-reducing medicine.

Close Contact with a COVID-19 Positive (C-19+) A student or employee lives with or has had close contact with a person who has:

Please review the SDCOE COVID-19 Decision Tree for information on Home Isolation or Quarantine Instructions and return to school timelines.

● Tested positive for COVID-19, OR ● Been advised by their doctor(licensed MD, DO, NP, or PA) or public health official that they are presumed to have COVID-19 and will not be tested or tested negative.

C-19+ Student or Employee A student or employee has: ● Tested positive for COVID-19, OR • ● been advised by their doctor (licensed MD, DO, NP, or PA) or public health official that they are presumed to have COVID-19 (regardless of test • results).

Please review the SDCOE COVID-19 Decision Tree for information on Home Isolation or Quarantine Instructions and return to school timelines.

*The chart above is provided in partnership with the San Diego County Office of Education. Please note that C-19+ as indicated above is an individual who has tested positive for COVID-19.

In the case of a sibling, in which another sibling in the household is experiencing symptoms and has not been evaluated for C-19, we would encourage parents/guardians to contact their child’s health care provider. Parents and guardians may also contact San Diego Public Health Services, Epidemiology branch for consultation. Only those who are in close contact with a C-19+, and those who have been identified themselves as C-19+, are at this time required to quarantine.

Notify the School Nurse via email at covid19@aolp.org with any positive Covid-19 Test results.

The SDCOE COVID-19 Decision Tree (Updated 7/30/2021) is provided by the San Diego County Office of Education in partnership with the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency. It can be used should a student or employee develop any COVID-19 symptom while at school.

Please note, in accordance with guidance issued by the San Diego County Office of Education, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American College of Cardiology, if your daughter has had a positive COVID-19 test, or was suspected to be COVID-19 positive in the past 90 days, prior to participation in any Physical Education class or Athletic activity, a student must have a doctor complete the following Medical Referral for Post COVID-19 Students. Completed forms can be emailed to OLP Nurse Greene at vgreene@aolp.org or faxed to 619-821-8838.

COVID-19 School Testing OLP is committed to ensuring a safe campus for all. Testing is just one of the mitigation strategies used to support a safe in-person learning environment. All onsite OLP COVID-19 testing is overseen by the OLP Testing Team, all who have been trained in completing COVID-19 self-swab tests. All PCR COVID-19 tests are self-swab tests.

Students will be required to register online through the designated testing laboratory with their insurance information for COVID-19 testing. Should a student not have current medical insurance, the laboratory will cover all costs of testing.

Employee COVID-19 Testing Testing for school employees will meet all CDPH and SDCPH guidelines and may include the following: ● Symptomatic Testing: this testing onsite is used for school employees with symptoms of COVID-19, and is offered on an as needed basis. A combination of Rapid Antigen and PCR tests through the UCSD Excite Laboratory will be used. ● Response Testing: this testing is used to identify positive school employees once a positive COVID-19 case has been identified in a given stable group. Response-based testing is provided for symptomatic or asymptomatic employees with known or suspected exposure to an individual with a confirmed positive COVID-19 case. A combination of Rapid Antigen and PCR tests through the UCSD Excite Laboratory will be used. ● Asymptomatic Testing: This testing is used for surveillance, to monitor the overall health of the employee population on-site and guide decisions about safety. Screening testing will be conducted using Inspire Diagnostics. All employees can register using the following link.

Student COVID-19 Testing While San Diego County is in a substantial level of spread, indicated by a high COVID-19 positive case rate, the school will employ weekly or twice monthly screening testing of the entire community. This is in alignment with recommendations from the California Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control. Screening testing will be required of all students and employees. Individuals can opt to participate in the on-campus testing through Inspire Diagnostics, provide a negative Molecular/Antigen/PCR COVID test to the OLP Nurse, or students may choose to go virtual.

Testing registration link for all OLP students and employees PCR Testing Registration. Families choosing to test on their own, will need to complete the opt-out form, and then submit their negative COVID-19 test to the OLP Nurse the week the school is conducting screening testing.

25

As necessary, OLP will provide symptomatic, or response testing as necessary and required. A combination of Rapid Antigen and PCR, through Inspire Diagnostics, will be available.

Should you have any questions about the OLP testing program, please contact the School Nurse at covid19@aolp.org.

Vaccines The CDPH strongly recommends that all persons eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccines receive them at the first opportunity; people under 12 are not eligible for the vaccine since trials for that group are still underway. CDPH also strongly recommends that all students and staff be immunized each autumn against influenza unless advised against by a licensed healthcare professional.

Because COVID-19 vaccine implementation is rapidly evolving, a vaccine guidance document has been made available through the CDPH here.

Outside of already mandated State vaccinations for in-person attendance, OLP believes that the choice to vaccinate is one made between the parents and the primary healthcare provider. We encourage you to speak with your primary healthcare provider should you have any questions or concerns regarding vaccinations.

COVID-19 School Closure Determinations The closure of OLP, in which all students and employees are not on campus, is recommended based on the number of positive COVID-19 cases impacting the OLP community. This would suggest that active in-school transmission is occurring. Closure will be done in consultation with the San Diego County Office of Health. Situations that may indicate the need for school closure include: ● Within a 14-day period, an outbreak has occurred in 25% or more of the groups in the school. ● Within a 14-day period, at least three outbreaks have occurred in the school AND more than 5% of the school population is infected. ● The San Diego County Office of Health may also determine school closure is warranted for other reasons, including results from public health investigation or other local epidemiological data.

The length of closure, typically 14 days, and the move to a Distance Learning Model, would be made in consultation with the San Diego County Office of Health and the Diocese of San Diego Office of Schools.

Preventive Hygiene Everyday hygiene practices are another key pillar to prevent virus transmission. As has been well-documented, hand washing many times daily with soap and water is critical. In addition to hand-washing, frequent use of alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) with formulations containing 60% ethanol or 70% isopropanol is a simple yet effective way to prevent the spread of pathogens and infections. Other preventative measures include coughing or sneezing into tissues or the inside elbow, avoiding touching your face, maintaining physical distance when indoors, wearing masks indoors, and removing/replacing masks safely.

The California Department of Public Health recommends the following Preventative Hygiene actions in order to maintain a healthy campus: ● OLP will provide ongoing education to students and staff on how to use a tissue to wipe their nose and to cough/sneeze inside a tissue or their elbow, while keeping their face covering on. ● OLP will have ongoing reminders throughout the day for students and staff to wash their hands after coughing or sneezing; before entering the classrooms; after being outside; and before and after using the restroom. In addition, OLP is providing additional hand sanitizer in all common areas and increased hand sanitizing stations at the entry to all classrooms, in common areas and at school entrances. ● OLP will include ongoing education to students and staff that they should wash their hands for 20 seconds with soap, rubbing thoroughly after application, and use paper towels (or single-use cloth towels) to dry hands thoroughly. These notices will also be placed in restrooms to remind all those on campus of the importance of hand washing.

Cleaning, Sanitizing, and Disinfecting The third pillar in OLP’s operational strategy to prevent the spread of COVID-19 has been to ensure our cleaning protocols follow guidelines established by the CDC. These guidelines encourage institutions to consider the important differences between cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting, and recommend the best chemicals to use and how to apply them. We know we need different protocols for different circumstances. For example, if we have a student who tests positive for COVID-19, the classroom in which they study will be deep cleaned and disinfected.

We will continue to use the CDC guidelines, along with other occupational and environmental recommendations, according to CAL/OSHA, for the most current practices in school facilities.

Another important aspect of this strategy involves facilities use. Keeping our classrooms and facilities cleaned on an ongoing basis is essential to maintaining a healthy environment. Please see Classroom Cleaning and Common Areas Cleaning for more details.

OLP will work with its partner, CityWide in order to complete a thorough Deep cleaning of the entire site upon a positive COVID-19 case, and create a monthly routine or as needed.

Communication & Coordination Directed by our guiding principle, “Ensure hygiene and health-related policies are research-based, clearly communicated, effectively implemented, and diligently enforced,” we established our fourth pillar of safety–Communications and Coordination.

OLP This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

28

OLP’s operations plan will only be successful if it has clear expectations set out for its community, a structure that is sustainable, and the flexibility to adapt to changing realities. The first step is targeting communication to the community on how to protect ourselves and others by informing them about what guidelines must be followed.

In addition to existing communications channels, we will implement environmental messaging (signage, wayfinding, etc), particularly in regard to key areas such as the main access points to campus, walkways, outdoor areas, hallways, bathrooms and common areas on campus. Further multimedia messaging strategies will be deployed school-wide.

Our parent and faculty/staff portals (Blackbaud and the OLP Website) will have designated COVID-19 dashboards that aggregate all related messages and include resource links, documents and forms. Storytelling around action items, successes and new programs will continue through existing channels (OLP social media, publications, etc).

Specific Areas of Enhanced Protections Van Transportation Students will be required to wear a face mask while on school transportation, and be expected to complete a health self-assessment prior to attending school each day. The Director of Facilities will communicate the updated Transportation protocols at the start of the academic year.

Security and Campus Access - Visitors to Campus All visitors and volunteers will be asked to comply with all current health protocols while on campus. Anyone exhibiting or experiencing COVD-19 like symptoms, will be asked to remain home, in alignment with the SDCOE Decision Tree. The use of the campus by outside external community organizations will be assessed based on current COVID-19 recommendations.

Increased Signage Signage to be posted at all perimeter and building entrances to inform students, faculty, and staff not to enter the facility if they are experiencing cold or flu symptoms including cough, shortness of breath, or fever above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Messaging will be included on our website and all email communication to student families, faculty, and staff. All signage will be in compliance with the California Department of Public Health (CDPG), California Department of Education (CDE), San Diego County Public Health Services (SDPH), and San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) guidance. An example of such signage is our Staying Healthy on Campus Keeping Your Distance.

Water Stations Drinking fountains will be disabled, but refillable water bottle stations will remain accessible during COVID. Students will be encouraged to use hand sanitizer prior to touching the screens, utilizing disinfecting wipes which will be placed adjacent to the refillable water bottle stations, or bringing with them a secondary touch device (such as a touch pin), to fill their personal water bottles. These touch screen filtered bottled water dispensers will be cleaned on a continuous schedule throughout the day by our CityWide cleaning team.

Food Services The French Gourmet will incorporate supplemental safety precautions with which the Pilot Cafe and Common Grounds serve students, faculty and staff. OLP community members are encouraged to pre-order food as much as possible. Protocols for food service under COVID-19 guidelines will be reviewed on an ongoing basis.

Health Center The Health Center is staffed by the OLP Nurse and located on the first floor of Navarra Hall. As infection control, virus prevention, and health education professionals, our nurse will play a key role in guiding our school’s health and safety efforts. They will be here to support and care for students and families to answer questions, and provide guidance when appropriate. Please see Being Healthy at School for more details.

COVID Leadership and Team Liaison In order to stay abreast of all COVID-19 guidance from the California Department of Public Health (CDPG), California Department of Education (CDE), San Diego County Public Health Services (SDPH), and San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE), OLP has designated the following individuals from the Executive Leadership Team as our Liaisons: ● Head of School, Lauren Lek ● Director of Facilities, Toni Russo ● OLP Nurse, Victoria Greene, RN As the OLP Nurse, Victoria Greene, will be responsible for monitoring on a weekly basis all COVID-19 guidance and providing updates to designated members of the Executive Leadership Team, and then supporting the team in ensuring those messages are communicated to all stakeholders. Through the members of the Executive Leadership Team, they will collectively oversee through their roles site operations, finance and human resources, institutional advancement efforts, communications, information technology, campus life, athletics, academics, faith and mission.

The OLP Nurse will support the County of San Diego’s School Response Team from Public Health Services in the tracking and monitoring of students and employees with COVID-19 related symptoms, or COVID-19 presumed/confirmed positive cases.

Travel Restrictions Please monitor the California State and CDC for ongoing travel updates and restrictions. All members of the OLP community should abide by the recommendations set forth.

Part IV: Campus Life Introduction Activities and Athletics are a critical aspect of an OLP student's experience. These opportunities provide students with a chance to explore and develop their passions and interests beyond the classroom. They help students develop leadership, sportsmanship, perseverance, teamwork, and many other important life skills. OLP is committed to providing a robust set of opportunities to engage in a diverse set of experiences.

Protocols for Participation in OLP Sports The following is an initial list of protocols for the participation in an OLP athletic team. Please note that this list will be changing as we learn more from the State of California Department of Health, the County of San Diego Health Department and the California Interscholastic Federation.

Please note, in accordance with guidance issued by the San Diego County Office of Education, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American College of Cardiology, if your daughter has had a positive COVID-19 test, or was suspected to be COVID-19 positive in the past 90 days, prior to participation in any Physical Education class or Athletic activity, a student must have a doctor complete the following Medical Referral for Post COVID-19 Students. Completed forms can be emailed to OLP Nurse Greene at vgreene@aolp.org or faxed to 619-821-8838.

Physical Distancing & Reducing Density Some sports require physical contact by the nature of the competition. Contact is inevitable in other sports (basketball, volleyball, softball, baseball, and soccer), even when inadvertent (teammate or opponent) or through shared equipment. There are only a few sports where physical distancing feels even remotely plausible [cross-country, swimming, golf, and tennis

(singles)]. There is less risk in most activities OLP offers, although physical distancing challenges are problematic in some activities more than others.

OLP operates its Athletic program under the guidance of the CIF-State, CIF-San Diego Section and the San Diego City Conference. These three entities are consulted on an ongoing basis before any athletic competition can move forward.

OLP will also continue to coordinate with its partners in the San Diego City Conference as well as our other CSJ and Diocesan schools.

Health Screening & Preventative Hygiene in Athletics In order for OLP to safely provide important co-curricular experiences, we intend to introduce compulsory hygiene and health-screening protocols and expectations. These protocols complement those linked in Part 3 of this document. General health and safety practices will be important to help mitigate the risks of virus transmission in the co-curricular setting, but we also know we need activity-specific hygiene rules and guidelines to ensure the safety, not only of our students, but also of the adults coaching, directing, or sponsoring them. We’ve developed guidelines for both Athletics and Performing Arts that follow: General Health & Safety Guidelines: Athletics. Our basic expectations concerning hygiene are as follows: ● Wash hands with soap and water or use hand sanitizer if unable to wash hands, before exiting the locker room or before entering a facility. ● Wash hands during water breaks. ● Bring individual water bottles - clearly labeled with names. ● Cover coughs and sneezes into a tissue, then dispose of it in the trash can immediately.

If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your t-shirt or elbow. Use hand sanitizer afterwards. ● Take home practice gear to be washed after each practice/game. ● Do not share towels, clothing or other personal items.

Cleaning, Sanitizing, & Disinfecting We plan to implement increased cleaning and sanitation protocols for the students, equipment, and facilities before, during, and after practices. We will ensure that our facilities are properly ventilated by keeping windows/doors open and practicing outdoors when possible. Facilities will also be equipped with additional sanitization stations and disinfecting solutions.

Athletic Screening Testing Following the K-12 school-based COVID-19 testing strategies, OLP will adhere to the guidance provided by the CDC, CDPH and SDCOE for athletic testing based on the state of community

Executive Summary for Parents & Community on OLP Website This is an executive summary of detailed information provided in the OLP Roadmap for COVID-19 Safety Protocols. We encourage all parents, students and community members to read the entire document. It will be updated as needed throughout the year.

Four Pillars: The OLP approach to safety has four pillars: Physical Distancing and Reducing Student Density; Health Screening and Preventative Hygiene; Cleaning, Sanitizing, and Disinfecting; and Communications, and Coordination.These four areas align with the guidance on school reopening from the CDPH, CDE, SDCOE and SDCPH. Each of these critical areas helps shape our approach to ensuring our policies and protocols provide the necessary conditions on the ground to mitigate risk of exposure to COVID-19. OLP believes in a multi-layered approach to safety in order to ensure the health of our community. As we enter the 2021-2022 school year, we are excited that physical distancing and reducing density are able to be put on pause.

Face coverings: Students and employees will wear face coverings when indoors, throughout the school day. Face coverings are optional outdoors. Face coverings should be either (A) a cloth or disposable face mask without a ventilator or, if medically necessary (B) a face shield that wraps below the chin and behind the ears, and has a cloth drape that tucks into the shirt. If students are wearing a face mask, they should bring two face masks, cloth or disposable, to school each day in case one gets dirty.

Extra disposable masks will be available should they be needed in the front office and the Health Center.

Hand hygiene: Students, faculty, and staff will have access to hand sanitizer at the entry to each class and building as well as additional hand sanitizer stations across the campus.

Enhanced cleaning/ disinfection schedule: Daily cleaning practices will be compliant with Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommendations, including the types of cleaning products used and the frequency of cleaning. Special attention will be paid to the cleaning of high touch surfaces at the end of the day. Students will have access to disinfecting wipes in all classrooms along with hand sanitizer at the entry to all classrooms and buildings. The entire school will be cleaned at the end of the day with deep cleaning throughout the month.

Health Center: Due to COVID-19, OLP has hired a licensed nurse. The Health Center will be staffed with the OLP Nurse during all school hours.

Health screening: Families are asked to monitor their household members for COVID-19 symptoms, and remain home if sick. If students develop COVID-19 symptoms during the school day, they will be sent to the OLP Nurse, and parents/guardians will be contacted to arrange pick-up within the hour. In addition to self-screenings, parents and students are obligated to report the following information to the OLP Nurse and follow the SDCOE decision tree for the return to campus instructions: (1) if they were experiencing a COVID-19 symptom outside of a chronic condition for which they are being regularly treated for by a medical professional; (2)if they had close contact with someone who was ill with confirmed COVID-19 exposure; (3) if they are given a COVID-19 positive diagnosis.

Updated sick policy and enforcement practices: Rules regarding sick policies for students and employees will be enhanced and strictly enforced to minimize the number of sick people on campus, as well as to allow continuity of learning from home for mildly ill or asymptomatic students. Enhanced technology has been acquired to allow for this.

OLP believes that we are in a partnership with parents. As such, our philosophy is that students’ optimal learning takes place in the face-to-face classroom environment.

However, situations with a student’s health, COVID-19, or an emergency family situation may arise resulting in a student needing to leverage the virtual learning platform for a short period. OLP believes that this should be an isolated experience and short term.

Should the use of virtual learning become habitual, or extend beyond such time as a period of a regular quarantine, then a conversation will take place with the student’s Assistant Principal, the student, and the parents, as to whether or not the continuation for the remainder of the semester in the face-to-face classroom is appropriate.

OLP Virtual Academy: OLP will continue to offer families the option of enrolling in the Virtual Academy for the 2021-2022 academic year. A family will need to choose to enroll in the Virtual Academy for the Semester. A student can opt into the Virtual Academy at any point during the semester, but will only be able to return to face-to-face learning in either August or January.

Quarantine and contact tracing: If a student or employee has a COVID-19 positive infection, our OLP Nurse will support the San Diego Department of Public Health’s

efforts for contact tracing and enforcing quarantine of those infected and their contacts.

Provisions will be made to support continuity of learning from home during quarantine periods.

Food Service: Foodservice in partnership with The French Gourmet (TFG) and Common Grounds will resume as normal before school and break at Common Grounds on lower plaza and at lunch in Pilot Cafe. Students and employees will be encouraged to pre-purchase food in advance to minimize lines and expedite processes.

Other safe classroom practices: Collaborative learning remains a quintessential part of the classroom environment, with small group discussions and pair dialogue vital for how girls’ learn. Continued care will be taken for hand sanitization prior to entry into the classroom, and wipes for cleaning desks between use will be provided.

Self-care and well-being: Pedagogy and classroom practices will continue to provide attention to student mental health and well-being to build resilience and cope with the stress or anxiety students may experience as the pandemic continues.

Excursions, Camps, Student/Faculty Travel: All off-campus excursions and field trips will resume as normal and as COVID-19 community spread allows.

Visitors on campus: All visitors must wear face coverings to enter and will be provided with a set of COVID-19 safety reminders.

Family Travel Policy: All OLP community members should follow the CDC travel recommendations.

Mass, assemblies and large group gatherings: OLP will return to on campus indoor school wide liturgies, rallies and events while following all recommended guidelines for safety.
