A Message from Our CEO Dear Harmony Community, At Harmony Public Schools, one of the many things we take pride in is our rigorous coursework.

We don’t design our coursework to be challenging to our students to see if they might fail, though. We design it to be challenging because we know that our students can succeed despite the difficulty, and that through those challenges they will grow stronger.

Together, as educators, students and families, we now face the toughest challenge perhaps anyone has faced in the history of modern education: COVID-19.

Inside this document, you will learn more about how we will face this challenge together, and how the Harmony community already is growing to meet the needs of our students during these unprecedented times.

As of the writing of this letter, COVID-19 is still active and of great concern throughout our state. Because of this, it has been determined that classes for the 2020-2021 school year will begin virtually, with a goal of allowing an optional return to campuses for families who are interested as soon as conditions allow.

While we recognize that this won’t be easy for all of our families, we know that this is the best and safest choice for our students, team members, and communities.

Regardless of where our students are learning, they will benefit from a completely re-engineered learning management system that connects them to both their teachers and peers in an enriched and engaging interactive format. They’ll also have more opportunities for at-home extracurricular club activities, academic tutoring, and counseling session than last spring.

Once students can return to campus, they will find a variety of improved safety protocols designed to keep our Harmony family safe and our classrooms both organized and academically-focused.

You’ll learn all about these topics and more in the pages of this reopening guide. We promise to continue to keep you updated as additional information becomes available.

It’s hard not to look at the new school year and not think of all the ways it will be different.

It will be different. But it will also be great, too.

It will be innovative. It will be exciting. And it will be fun.

That’s what our students deserve … regardless of the circumstances.

With your help, I believe that a positive and productive school year for our students is a challenge that we’re more than up to.

Have a safe and happy school year.

Sincerely,

Fatih Ay CEO | Harmony Public Schools

Vision for 2020 Health & Safety HPS will prioritize adherence to the health and sanitation directives to ensure the well being of our students, employees, families, and community members.

We will be implementing a number of new policies and procedures to protect our students, staff, and families.

Instructional Continuity and Rigor As instruction continues with a more rigorous approach in Fall 2020, HPS provides supervision and optimal learning conditions for all students. Our model is designed to align with choices of learners and families, whether learning in-person or online.

Equity We aim to establish equity among all students and cater to students who have challenges with online learning or need additional support to be successful academically for on-campus learning. The pandemic has presented us with the opportunity to transform equity of access within our school system by making permanent, innovative improvements to our digital learning approaches to better engage our students, particularly our most vulnerable learners. Based on recent survey data from stakeholders, HPS is investing more in student and teacher access to devices, access to reliable internet connectivity, and support for online learning.

ACADEMICS

Academics: The Basics Once campuses reopen, Harmony Public Schools will be offering families two learning models throughout the 2020-2021 school year. Families can either choose to learn remotely in our online learning environment, or in-person at their Harmony campus. Families may also alternate between the two by notifying their campus of a request to switch ahead of time.

In this section you will learn more about our online remote learning environment, in-person learning, daily schedules, grading, and additional programming for students with special needs.

Harmony has developed an all-in-one online learning system called Schoology, that will be used for both online and at-home learners to connect with the option they have selected. This system will contain assignments, grading, schedules, progress reports, and parent messaging options for both online and in-person learners. Schools and teachers may use other software as needed (ex.

Zoom video conferencing) to enrich the learning experience.

Remote learners will be able to participate in live, online classes featuring two-way interactions with their teachers and fellow classmates during normal school hours each class day. This is called “synchronous learning.” These students will be counted in attendance as they participate during class.

If remote learners have a valid reason they are unable to participate in synchronous learning, they may also participate in one-way, independent learning later in the day. This is called “asynchronous learning.” These students will be counted in attendance so long as they complete all coursework or checkpoints for the day and submit any assignments prior to 11:59 p.m.

In-person learners, of course, will attend campus during normally-scheduled school hours.

Students with specialized educational needs – such as ESL and intervention – will continue to receive those services either online or in-person.

This overview is intended to provide a summary of the section to follow.

For complete details, please continue reading.

Harmony’s Robust, New Virtual Learning System

7

Instructional Information & Software Harmony Public Schools will be utilizing high-impact, technology-driven instructional practices in order to provide a consistent, equitable, and high-quality education to all of its students regardless of their learning environment. To achieve this goal, Harmony has researched and integrated into its curriculum several new, nationally-recognized learning products to bolster our pre-existing learning resources.

Those products will allow students to engage with their teachers and fellow students in an interactive environment from wherever they may be learning.

Schoology is a learning management system (LMS) that provides students, parents, and teachers all the tools they need to create and share educational materials, complete assignments, share homework, receive grades, manage calendars, and message in one easy-to-use place. Teachers also can post daily reminders or updates. Regardless of whether students are learning online or in-person, they will use Schoology.

Nearpod is a popular, award-winning student engagement platform for transforming online and face-to-face classes. Using Nearpod, teachers can interact with students; provide real-time feedback; and create fun, interactive learning experiences using polls, drawing boards, quizzes, videos, and more. Students also can use Nearpod to interact with their peers in a safe, virtual environment.

Nearpod is integrated directly into Schoology, so students will be able to use it without leaving the Schoology environment.

Edpuzzle is a simple but powerful video tool to create amazing video lessons in minutes. Teachers can choose a pre-made video template or upload their own video, then customize it for their own classroom by embedding assessment/reflection questions into the video. It also allows teachers to track the progress of students.

8

Learning Environments Harmony’s primary goal in offering both in-person and virtual classrooms is to provide families the flexibility to choose the option that fits its needs best, while still delivering a rigorous, student-focused academic environment regardless of the location.

Accordingly, our classroom experience and coursework will be almost identical, regardless of from where students are learning. Therefore, if a student needs to change his or her learning environment due to COVID-19 or other considerations, the child’s learning process will be able continue uninterrupted because all students are exposed to similar learning experiences and curricula.

In-Person Learning • Students and teachers will attend class-in person five days a week • 1-1 Chromebook • Schoology Lesson • Access to same learning resources • Use of Interactive products to engage in learning

Remote Learning • Students will join live sessions via Zoom • 1-1 Chromebook • Schoology Lesson • Access to the same learning resources as inperson students • Use of Interactive products to engage in learning • Self-paced option of the lesson available in case of an illness or bandwidth issues during live classes

• 1-1 Chromebooks will be provided to both in-person students and remote learning students. At-home learners may also use their own devices.

• Students will engage simultaneously in learning in these two different setings (face-to-face and remote).

• Both the remote and face-to-face experience will utilize Schoology Classroom and use the same learning resources. Remote learning products for engagement can be utilized by teachers in face-to-face format to engage students in learning.

• HPS will utilize research-proven strategies and best practices associated with blended learning models.

• In-person students may move into remote learning for a period of time if necessary for school closure due to an individual showing COVID-19 symptoms, according to county or state regulations.

• All learning experiences are aligned to the district curriculum and Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills.

9

Remote Learning

All activities will be designed to meet the needs of the students in the online environment through technology tools and differentiated blended learning experiences. The full experience will be consistent with their peers learning in-person on campus.

• Teachers will teach remote students from their classrooms or other designated facilities.

• If a staff member shows any COVID-19 symptoms, she/he will be sent home and continue teaching from home (if health condition allows).

• Teachers will provide online live sessions via Zoom and provide the experience through Schoology and other platforms. Live sessions will start at the same time with in-person learning.

• Self-paced modules of the lessons will be available for only certain cases such as internet issues, sickness, family emergencies, etc. Students should return their work and submit assessments for the day by 11:59 PM on the same day.

• Parents will ensure that their child has access to a device and a distraction-free place to work and engage in learning. If a child does not have access to a device for schoolwork, they may receive one for the purpose of schoolwork from their campus.

• Parents will ensure that their children attend live sessions on time and keep up with assignments.

• Parents will ensure that students have breakfast and lunch in the assigned time period.

• Children should be dressed appropriately for live classes.

(Shirt, School Shirt, and Jeans or Khakis are OK.) • Students are expected to engage in lessons just like attending in-person learning.

• Students will keep their cameras on and engage with with the teacher and their peers.

• Students should be ready to participate in class activities and discussions at all times.

• Grading will be consistent with the practices used in all face-to-face learning.

Synchronous Learning

Synchronous Remote Learning is two-way, live instruction in which students and teachers engage in learning through computers and conferencing tools. Harmony will provide live sessions via Zoom.

10

Rules for Student Participation in ZOOM Classrooms Camera On

• The student’s camera must remain on during class times.

• The student must maintain school-appropriate behavior even though they are at home.

• Student must be dressed appropriately for class (Shirt, School Shirt, and Jeans or Khakis are OK).

• Only the student must be visible (no friends or siblings).

Mic Off

• Computer microphone must be off unless specifically instructed by teacher.

This ensures there is no background noise or outside distraction.

Communicate Through Chat • • • •

Students are expected to interact through the Zoom chat function.

Students must show up on time.

Students must use appropriate and respectful language at all times.

Use tools such as “raising your hand” (available in Zoom) and the chat feature if you have a question or want to answer a question.

Quiet Place

• Remove distractions, such as going where there’s less background noise and turning off your phone.

• Use headphones, if possible, for increased privacy and better speaker and microphone quality.

• Put your phone on silent.

• Select a good location with a power supply.

• Have all required materials for class (Books, Paper, Markers, etc..) nearby before the session begins.

Mind On

• Be ready to engage in learning.

• Students can be called to answer a question or join a discussion anytime.

11

Asynchronous Remote Learning Asynchronous Remote Learning is a one-way learning experience in which students engage with learning resources on their own and interact with the teacher at time other than the regularly scheduled class time. This option is only available if a student misses live sessions due to illness, technical issues, or other valid reason.

The following are characteristics of Asynchronous Remote Learning: • Teachers will provide learning resources and assignments through Schoology.

• Teachers may assign assignments in other curriculum platforms such as Edgenuity, STEM Scopes, Think central, HMH Online, ALEKS, etc.

• Students and parents will reach those platforms through Schoology and my.harmonytx accounts. Schoology is the mainline of communication.

• Students will turn in assigned work and/or meet checkpoints by 11:59 p.m. each day.

Parents and students must communicate with teachers in case of absences to turn in work.

This communication is necessary for learning continuum and grading purposes.

• Students and parents will communicate with teachers when assistance and tutoring is needed.

In-Person Learning Students will attend school on a regular instructional schedule and will engage in face-to-face learning on campus during school hours. Classroom instruction will be designed for mastery of student learning outcomes based on the academic standards called the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for each content area.

The following are characteristics of In-Person Learning: • • • • • • • • •

Available for students in PreKindergarten through Grade 12 Student participation required 5 full days per week Utilize Schoology to provide lessons 1-1 Chromebook provided to engage students in learning activities Implementation of preventive safety measures Instruction provided by Harmony teachers Instruction in core content and elective areas District curriculum, unit sequencing and pacing of instruction Social-emotional support

• Accommodations and support services provided

12

Daily Engagement & Attendance Under an approved learning plan, students earn daily attendance through daily engagement measure(s).

The approved engagement methods for measuring attendance are: • Daily progress in the Learning Management System (LMS) Schoology, as defined in the approved learning plan; or • Daily progress via teacher-student interactions, as defined in the approved learning plan; or • Completion/turn-in of assignments from student to teacher (potentially via email, online, or mail).

Grading Grading for all learning settings will follow Harmony grading practices as practiced during a typical school year. Pass/fail grading will not be used. Courses that earn high school credit will count in GPA calculation and class rank as specified in the Harmony high school course guide.

The students who miss live sessions will be provided self-paced online learning experiences and assignments. The assignments should be returned the same day before 11:59 p.m. The late work policy may apply for late submissions.

Daily Schedules Texas Education Agency guidelines prescribe a preset number of instructional hours per day for students in all settings in order to be counted toward attendance. The following sample schedules have been created to demonstrate how a typical day might look for students in all settings. Your child’s school will provide your exact schedule.

13

Method of Instruction Harmony Public Schools is not able to accommodate a learning model in which students are allowed to alternate between in-person and remote learning without prior notice given to the school. However, once a student has selected distance learning or in-person learning, they may change their learning model choice by completing and submitting the Instruction Re-Selection Form that is located in Skyward. If a family attempts to attend both in-person and distance learning at the same time, the student will be transferred to distance learning. The family will be notified of this transfer by the campus. In order for the student to be transferred back to in-person learning, the parent would need to fill out the Instruction Re-Selection form again. Please note that the family would then have to wait up to two weeks after the form has been submitted to return back to in-person learning.

Note: If a student is out sick for a non-COVID illness for 2-3 days and logs in online to complete coursework, this is both permissible and strongly encouraged so that the student does not fall behind.

As a reminder, a doctor’s note is required if the student is out for three days or longer due to illness.

90/10 Attendance The minimum attendance for class credit (TEC §25.092) will be in effect for the 2020– 2021 school year. Students are required to attend at least 90% of their classes (with some exceptions) to receive credit and be promoted.

Students with Special Needs Harmony Public Schools (HPS) has developed a solid plan to provide instructional, speech therapy and related services to students in Special Education, Section 504, and Dyslexia programs virtually through our Virtual Learning Program. Below you will find detailed information on how these services are provided followed by brief guidelines for Section 504 and special education evaluations, ARD and 504 meetings. (Note: Harmony campuses will start 2020-2021 academic year online only. In person provision of services, face-to-face evaluations and ARD/504 meetings will commence aligned with In-Person learning.)

How will we provide instructional services?

• For students in special education and 504 programs, accommodations and/or modifications are implemented by our teachers in their online classes.

• For students in pullout programs, our special education teachers create online classes and provide resources and support virtually.

Instructional Services for Students in 504 Programs: Accommodations continue in general

education online classrooms and will be implemented by subject teachers.

Mainstream Instructional Services: Accommodations, modifications and IEP implementation continue in general education online classes by general education teachers.

Inclusion Services: Accommodations, modifications and IEP implementation continue in general education online classes. Inclusion teachers are added as co-teachers to applicable general education online classes per IEPs. They provide support to students with inclusion services in collaboration with subject teachers and assist in implementing IEPs and accommodations.

Resource Services: Resource teachers create their own online classes, provide resources and instruction virtually for the subjects applicable per students’ IEPs. IEP goals, accommodations and modifications are implemented.

Life Skills Services: Life Skills teachers create their own online classes for their students in Life Skills programs and provide virtual instruction. Goals, accommodations, modifications, academic contents, functional and vocational skills are addressed through instruction provided per the students’ IEPs. Daily lessons and reading books are assigned from N2Y Unique to cover academic contents. Activities are planned to assist with functional, vocational and living skills per IEPs. Behavior Services: Behavior teachers create their own online classes for their students and provide

virtual support. Lessons must address the students’ behavior IEPs/BIPs. Teachers are required to contact parents a minimum of once weekly to assist with behavior in the home. Teachers may be requested to contact parents more frequently if the student’s behavior warrants or parents are requesting more frequent contact.

Dyslexia Services: Dyslexia teachers create their own online classes for their students receiving instructional dyslexia services per IEPs or 504 plans and provide virtual instruction.

In order to provide students with special needs a learning opportunity equal to that of their general education peers, these instructional services start with and are part of our Distance Learning Program.

Confidentiality: Students access their usual Special Education or Dyslexia teachers through online classes.

Class identifiers do not include terms implying that it is a Special Education, 504 or Dyslexia program.

19

How do we provide Speech Therapy and Related Services?

Speech and Related Services: To the greatest extent possible, speech therapy and related services

(such as Counseling/Psychological Services, Occupational Therapy (OT), Physical Therapy (PT), Assistive Technology (AT), Sign Language, Braille, and Auditory Impairment (AI) Services) are provided during Harmony’s distance learning program. These services utilize a combination and variety of methods including provision of resources and equipment, weekly check-ins for assistance to parents and students and/or virtual service through teleservice (via internet or telephone). Assistive Technology and other devices may be picked up by parents at the schools.

Campus officials and service providers will contact parents and provide a notice about the delivery method, schedules, service times, expectations from the parents and students, and other relevant details. When direct in-person instruction resumes, the ARD committee may meet to review student progress, discuss and decide whether IEP needs to be revised and additional speech therapy and/or related services are needed.

Brief Guidelines for Section 504 and Special Education Evaluations, ARD and 504 Meetings: 504 Evaluations, Review, Annual Meetings and Services: To the greatest extent possible, Section 504 plans are implemented during the distance learning program. A virtual 504 meeting will be held for students whose 504 plan is due for annual or review and for students whose plan requires evaluations.

ARD Meetings: To the greatest extent possible, HPS holds virtual ARD meetings and provides virtual

services as required by your child’s IEP. Initial, re-evaluation and annual ARDs that are due or will be due soon and ARDs requested by parents will be conducted virtually. ARD committee discussions will cover the services to be provided when the student is physically at school and those to be provided through distance learning

Full Individual Evaluations (FIE): Initial FIE: Service Providers and Harmony will complete initial FIE assessments to the greatest extent

possible. If the assessment is complete (no further face to face testing or classroom observation is required) or partially complete sufficiently to determine eligibility for one or more suspected disabilities, an evaluation report will be written, provided to the parents and an ARD will be held virtually. If Initial FIE testing cannot be completed, testing will be completed when students return to school until then no disability condition and services can be determined due to insufficient data. In such cases, RtI accommodations will be provided to initial referrals.

Three Year and Other Re-evaluations: The ARD committees will meet virtually to decide on how evaluations will be conducted and how services will be provided to the greatest extent possible.

After school facilities reopen and resume normal operation, services as specified in the student’s (IEP/504 Plan) will continue. If parents or the student’s (ARD Committee /Section 504 Committee) wish to consider the need for revision of IEPs/ 504 plans and additional services, an ARD/504 meeting will convene.

OPERATIONS

Operations & Campus Health: The Basics With the guidance of the Texas Education Agency, government health officials and others, Harmony has implemented a comprehensive plan to keep students and staff members as safe as possible during on-campus learning.

The following section relates to the day-to-day operations of our Harmony campuses, including new health and safety protocols; efforts to promote social distancing; adjustments to daily routines; modified pickup and dropoff procedures; changes for bus riders (where applicable); visitor restrictions; lunchtime changes; attendance policies; and other items that might come up in a typical school day for both in-person and virtual learners.

Students will be taught in smaller groups (i.e. average class size) with desks spaced at least six feet apart, or divided by partitions. When possible, students will remain in the same class throughout much of the day to prevent the potential spread of germs throughout the campus.

For students taught by multiple teachers, teachers will be asked to rotate classes rather than students rotating. Students and teachers will be required to wear face masks at all times. Meals will either be eaten in classrooms or in cafeterias set up to allow for greater social distancing.

Morning dropoffs and afternoon pickups will be staggered to reduce interactions among students.

Parents will be asked to assist their own child exiting or entering the vehicle during pickup or dropoff, if needed. Students will go immediately to class when arriving on campus.

To avoid congregating in hallways, students will not be issued lockers; all items will be kept in student backpacks.

Campus visitors will be limited and must be arranged in advanced. Volunteers - including guest speakers, mentors, and college representatives - will not be allowed on campuses at this time.

If a student or staff member tests positive for COVID-19 or needs to be quarantined for suspicion of exposure, the person must be be symptom-free for at least 72 hours before returning to campus. In some cases, students or staff members may have to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test or meet other health benchmarks before returning to campus.

This overview is intended to provide a summary of the section to follow.

General Operations Harmony Public Schools is planning to reopen campuses for in-person learning as soon as doing so is safe for students and staff members, and allowed by applicable community health recommendations.

Administrators, staff and parents should use this guide for 2020-2021 school year. Because the COVID-19 pandemic is evolving, HPS may need to update and/or change these procedures to as the situation dictates. Please note, this guidance cannot anticipate every unique situation. Harmony will continue to consult available guidance from government agencies and other information deemed relevant to monitor the situation. Harmony will comply with applicable federal and state laws, as well as school safety and accessibility standards to address individual needs.

It is important to remember the virus that causes COVID-19 can be spread by infected persons who have few or no symptoms. Even if an infected person shows no symptoms or is only mildly ill, the people they spread it to may become seriously or fatally ill. Because of the unpredictable nature of this threat, Harmony expects all employees, students and families to rigorously follow these practices.

Families acknowledge that, per the Centers for Disease Control, COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease which can lead to severe illness or death. According to the CDC, activities, including on-campus learning, may present a significant health risk in the light of COVID-19. Potential family exposure, including to non-student family members who may be high risk, is possible. By choosing the on-campus option, parents acknowledge this risk and assume all risks and financial responsibilities related to COVID-19. Families agree to pick up any children within a reasonable timeframe not to exceed 1 hour, if called to do so. Additionally, families and students agree to abide by all rules and regulations of on campus participation regardless of personal belief or opinion, including wearing masks and maintaining appropriate social distancing.

Preparation for the Opening of Campuses Harmony will ensure all staff, resources, and supplies are prepared for opening campuses, including but not limited to assigning sufficient staff to carry out reopening, ensuring proper training, and stocking inventory of necessary supplies, such as personal protective equipment (PPE).

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides guidance, recommendations and resources to assist with plans and protocols for health and safety. Before schools reopen, Harmony will implement health and safety plans that include: • Ensuring adequate supply inventory (PPE, masks, face shields, cleaning supplies, hand sanitizer, etc.).

• Cleaning with products approved by governing authorities and per guidelines from the Environmental Protection Agency.

• Ensuring compliance with CDC, Health and Human Services, the Texas Education Agency and other jurisdictional policies.

• Providing communication of procedures and expectations upon entering facilities and throughout buildings.

• Custodial services company will provide daily deep cleaning of all work surfaces (including desks and chairs), high-use surfaces (door knobs, shared devices, door surfaces, etc) and sanitizing services.

22

General Rules • Classroom Size: When determining the number of students in a classroom group in a typical classroom space, the school must apply all three of the following factors as the guideline is provided by TEA: » Student desks (or seats at a table if tables are used) must be placed a minimum of six feet apart at all times and in all locations within the school building such as classrooms, library, cafeteria, etc. » No more than 22 total individuals can group in a typical classroom space (i.e., not a cafeteria, gym, library, or other larger space.) » In the rare case where the school can’t maintain the 6-foot social distances between student desks, the transparent dividers will be used.

• Whenever possible, students, teachers, and staff should maintain consistent groupings of people to minimize virus spread in the school.

• Schools must stagger school start and end times to minimize the number of students during drop off and dismissal.

• Class start and end times also should be staggered in the case of students traveling between classes.

• Students must not be brought together in assemblies, field trips, or other group gatherings outside of their class group. In any gathering students must keep the 6 feet social distance between them.

Contact with less than 6 feet of space and contact for 15 or more minutes should be particularly noted. » Health staff or Administrator should document the student’s dismissal and symptoms in a manner consistent with the HPS COVID-19 tracking practices using the Texas Department of State Health Services COVID-19 Contact Investigation Form. » Using gloves and Clorox wipes or cleaning supplies, the student’s workspace should be immediately cleaned by staff. » An administrator should contact custodial services to ensure that, at a minimum, deep cleaning of the classroom and any common areas including restrooms the same night.

Sterilization is preferred. » The health staff or an administrator should contact the parents the following business day to ensure that the parent has the support they need.

34

Self-Quarantine and Self-Isolation Policy Close Contact This document refers to “close contact” with an individual who is test-confirmed to have COVID-19. The definition of close contact is evolving with our understanding of COVID-19, and individual scenarios should be determined by an appropriate public health agency. In general, close contact is defined as: (A) being directly exposed to infectious secretions (e.g., being coughed on); or (B) being within 6 feet for a largely uninterrupted or sustained extended contact period throughout the course of a day of approximately 15 minutes; however, additional factors like case/contact masking (i.e., both the infectious individual and the potential close contact have been consistently and properly masked), ventilation, presence of dividers, and case symptomology may affect this determination.

Either (A) or (B) defines close contact if it occurred during the infectious period of the case, defined as two days prior to symptom onset to 10 days after symptom onset. In the case of asymptomatic individuals who are testconfirmed with COVID-19, the infectious period is defined as two days prior to the confirming test and continuing for 10 days following the confirming test.

Stay at Home (Self-Quarantine) Protocol Purpose - to prevent pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic individuals from spreading the virus: • Asks individuals to stay at home, but no further precaution required • Applies to close contacts of confirmed positive individuals • Individuals don’t have symptoms, but they have been identified as having a higher likelihood that they may have the virus • Duration lasts for 10 days from close contact, while monitoring symptoms through day 14 • There is no need to get a test, because the individual could be incubating the virus until the 14-day incubation period ends regardless of result Staying home allows individuals who may have been exposed to COVID-19 to monitor their symptoms during the period in which they may be infectious. These individuals should separate themselves from others outside their home, monitor their health, and follow directions from state/local health entities.

Because doctors believe a positive person can infect others with COVID-19 for two days prior to experiencing symptoms, and symptoms may take 14 days to appear, if an individual is made aware that they are a close contact to someone who tested positive for COVID-19, they should immediately begin to stay home and continue to do so during the virus incubation period. It is important for schools to keep track of the individuals who have been directed by local public health entities or asked by the school to stay at home so they can temporarily remain home.

In most cases, local health entities will notify close contacts that they should: • Stay home until 10 days after last close contact with confirmed positive COVID-19 individual, while monitoring symptoms through day 14 • Check temperature twice a day and watch for symptoms of COVID-19 • If possible, stay away from people who are at higher-risk for getting very sick from COVID-19

35

Self-Isolation Protocol Purpose of this period is to prevent symptomatic/ lab-confirmed individuals from spreading the virus: • Asks individuals to stay at home and stay isolated while at home, encourages others in home to wear masks, disinfect frequently • Applies to individuals who are symptomatic and/or lab-confirmed • If the individual has symptoms, but doesn’t think it’s COVID, the individual can end selfisolation with a medical professional’s diagnosis that the symptoms are something other than COVID –or– by obtaining an acute infection test at an approved testing location (https://tdem. texas.gov/covid-19/) that comes back negative for COVID-19.

• Otherwise, it ends when the virus can no longer spread from the individual, with all three of these being true: » 24 hours with no fever; » Symptoms improved; and » 10 days have passed since symptoms first appeared Self-isolation is used to separate people infected with COVID-19 (including those who are sick with the virus and those with no symptoms) from people who are not infected. People who are in isolation should stay home until it’s safe for them to be around others. In the home, anyone sick or infected should separate themselves from others by staying in a specific “sick room” or area and using a separate bathroom (if available).

Self-isolation allows individuals who may have been infected with COVID-19 to recover while trying not to infect others. Based on medical professionals’ understanding of how long an individual is infectious after fever and other symptoms disappear, self-isolation can end when a symptomatic or lab-confirmed individual: Meets all three of the following conditions for return to school: • 24 hours with no fever; • Symptoms improved; and • 10 days have passed since symptoms first appeared Or: • Obtain an acute infection test at an approved testing location (https://tdem.texas.gov/covid-19/) that comes back negative for COVID-19.

Or: • A doctor’s note indicating an alternate diagnosis

36

Quarantine or Isolation: What’s the difference?

Quarantine keeps someone who might have been exposed to the virus away from others.

Isolation keeps someone who is infected with the virus away from others, even in their home.

Screening Questionnaire The school must require teachers and staff to self-screen for COVID-19 symptoms before coming onto campus each day for the symptoms that are listed in this document. The self-screening should include teachers and staff taking their own temperature. Teachers and staff must report to the school system if they themselves have COVID-19 symptoms or are test-confirmed with COVID-19, and, if so, they must remain off campus until they meet the criteria for re-entry as noted below. Additionally, they must report to the school system if they have had close contact with an individual who is test-confirmed with COVID-19, as defined at the end of this document, and, if so, must remain off campus until the 14-day incubation period has passed (See Self-Quarantine Protocol).

Return to School Protocol Individuals Confirmed or Suspected with COVID-19: • Any individuals who themselves either: (a) are test-confirmed to have COVID-19; or (b) experience the symptoms of COVID-19 (listed above) must stay at home (See Self-Quarantine Protocol) throughout the infection period, and cannot return to campus until the school system screens the individual to determine any of the below conditions for campus re-entry have been met: » In the case of an individual who is symptomatic and is diagnosed with COVID-19, the individual may return to school when all three of the following criteria are met: 1. at least one day (24 hours) has passed since recovery (resolution of fever without the use of fever-reducing medications); 2. the individual has improvement in symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath); and 3. at least ten days have passed since symptoms first appeared.

» In the case of an individual that is asymptomatic but has received a positive COVID-19 test result, the individual may not return to the campus until the individual has completed the same three-step set of criteria listed above. » In the case of an individual who has symptoms that could be COVID-19 and who is not evaluated by a medical professional or tested for COVID-19, such individual is assumed to have COVID-19, and the individual may not return to the campus until the individual has completed the same three-step set of criteria listed above. » If the individual has symptoms that could be COVID-19 and wants to return to school before completing the above stay at home period, the individual must either (a) obtain a medical professional’s note clearing the individual for return based on an alternative diagnosis or (b) obtain an acute infection test (at a physician’s office, approved testing location, or other site) that comes back negative for COVID-19.

• Students who have been exposed to a COVID-19 Positive individual, but have not tested positive for COVID and are not experiencing any symptoms (asymptomatic) may choose one of the following quarantine guidelines: » 10 days after the last close contact, so long as they continue to monitor themselves daily for symptoms and take appropriate precautions through day 14 » 7 days after the last close contact, after receiving a negative test result (administered at least 5 days after the last close contact) and provided to campus health staff before return, so long as they continue to monitor themselves daily for symptoms and take appropriate precautions through day 14 » 14 days after the last close contact

37
