Mariemont City Schools 2020-21 RESTART Plan

Release Date: 07/28/2020 Revised: 04/01/2021

MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT

Mariemont City Schools Community, At the start of this school year, we all were unsure how COVID-19 would impact our schools once students and staff returned to buildings. Thankfully, we have not seen wide spread of the virus in our schools (at the time of this release) like many feared, and our students and staff have done an excellent job following the many health safety protocols that are now in place. We continue to learn more about best practices as the science surrounding COVID-19 evolves and this includes the metrics that matter most in determining how to operate our schools.

The Mariemont City School District RESTART Plan is our comprehensive guide to keep our schools and learning community as safe as possible during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

District personnel have developed and revised this plan and its procedures, guidelines, protocols and expectations for the successful restart of school this fall in partnership with guidance and orders from the Ohio Department of Health, Ohio Department of Education, Ohio High School Athletic Association and Hamilton County Department of Health. Our number one priority is to provide an outstanding academic experience for our students while keeping every member of the Mariemont City School District safe and healthy during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the 2020-21 school year.

Our number one priority is to provide an outstanding academic experience for our students while keeping every member of the Mariemont City School District safe and healthy during the school year.

In the pages that follow, you will find the RESTART Plan based on what we know today. This plan will allow us to safely finish the school year and create as many meaningful experiences for our students as possible.

I would like to thank our staff, parents, community members and Board of Education who offered valuable feedback about the restart of school through surveys, meetings and work sessions. This input, combined with the guidance of state and local officials, served as the backbone for the development of this plan and has allowed us to make the 2020-2021 school year a great one!

Thank you for your continued support and partnership.

Steven Estepp Superintendent, Mariemont City Schools

To protect the health and safety of the Mariemont City Schools community, Mariemont City Schools will:

No community or organization is immune to the risks associated with the spread of COVID-19 nor can any community or organization guarantee an environment free of COVID-19. The guidelines, practices and protocols outlined in this plan recognize these realities.

While much effort and care have gone into creating these safety measures and the same care and effort will go into implementing them, it will require all members of the Mariemont City Schools community – students, staff, parents and visitors – to take personal responsibility for adhering to them and acting in a manner that protects their health and safety and demonstrates respect and consideration for those around them.

Anticipate and plan for contingencies.

The Mariemont City School District is committed to both academic recovery and the health and safety of students and staff for the 2020-2021 school year.

Create a culture of safety and accountability to protect one another.

• All students and staff participated in training exercises to learn the required safety practices and navigate the new normal in school buildings and facilities.

HEALTH & SAFETY

• All students and staff are expected to monitor and report symptoms and/or diagnosis of COVID-19 to the school district. The district’s COVID-19 Incident Commander Brent Wise oversees our plan for monitoring, tracking and reporting COVID-19 symptoms and cases in the school district.

• All students and staff practice critical personal safety protocols including frequent hand washing and sanitizer use, adhering to safe social distancing practices and following all safety instructions and signage. Staff, students and visitors are required to wear facial coverings.

1 Expect all Mariemont City School District students and staff to assume personal responsibility to protect themselves and others.

• All students and staff assist in keeping classrooms, academic spaces, equipment and supplies clean.

Adapt programs, meetings and presentations to minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission and set the stage for a culture of health and safety.

• School programs, meetings and presentations are adjusted to accommodate required social distancing and safety protocols and procedures.

Expect all Mariemont City School District students and staff to assume personal responsibility to protect themselves and others.

Implement required quarantine practices to minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission in school buildings and facilities.* • Students and staff who test positive and have not been in quarantine must immediately begin to quarantine. The quarantine is for at least 10 days and the student or staff member has been fever free (w/o medication) for 24 hours and symptoms have improved or until 10 days after the positive test if the student or staff member never had symptoms.

• If contact with a positive COVID-19 individual occurs in a school building or facility, district health staff will notify impacted staff and/or parents of impacted students.

As determined by the Hamilton County Department of Health, contact that occurs in the classroom/school bus setting may not require quarantine.

• When contact occurs outside the classroom setting: -

-

-

Students and staff ** considered close contacts with a person COVID-19 positive 48 hours prior to testing positive or becoming symptomatic (with or without a mask) are required to quarantine for 7-10 days from the last exposure and remain symptom free prior to returning to school buildings and facilities. The quarantine is for 7 days with a negative COVID-19 test on day #5 or later; the quarantine is for 10 days without a test. Close contact is defined as contact within 6 feet and 15 minutes of cumulative exposure within a 24-hour period.

If a student or staff member who came into contact with the positive COVID-19 individual eventually becomes symptomatic but does not get a test, his/her quarantine period resets at the onset of symptoms for a minimum of 10 more days which must include 24 hours fever free (w/o medication) and improved symptoms. A negative test result at the completion of this time period is not required to return to school.

If a student or staff member who came into contact with the positive COVID-19 individual eventually tests positive for COVID-19, his/her quarantine period resets for a minimum of 10 more days from the time of the positive test. In order to return to school, they must present a written release to district health staff from the Hamilton County Department of Health. The Department of Health will not provide a release until the additional 10 days of quarantine is complete and the student or staff member has been fever free (w/o medication) for 24 hours and symptoms have improved.

*The school district will continue to revise these procedures as they are modified by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and/or the Hamilton County Department of Health. **Staff and students who have been fully vaccinated may not need to quarantine.

HEALTH & SAFETY

5 Provide instructional and learning options for students and staff.

• •

To accommodate students who cannot or choose not to return to the school building, the district offers a fully online option.

Online instruction will be provided by a combination of Mariemont City School District teachers and third party online course/content providers. Instruction and course content will not always follow the same sequence nor include the same activities and assignments as in building classrooms.

The online option will be taught by dedicated Mariemont online teachers and/or regular classroom teachers depending on the grade level and the number of students choosing the online option. “Online Warriors” will use a hybrid synchronous and asynchronous learning model. This means that, at specific times, the teacher and students will meet virtually for lessons and discussion and/or participate in ZOOM sessions. Online learning will also include materials for reading, lectures/lessons for viewing, assignments for completing and assessments for evaluation that students will complete within a flexible timeframe.

Specific online learning schedules will be communicated to students choosing this option prior to the start of the school year. Daily participation will be required and attendance will be taken.

Online Warriors will be required to report to school for assessments in high school credit courses. This will occur after school hours where social distancing can be maintained.

Plan and create lessons and courses for flexible pedagogy and delivery to enable academic continuity for all students.

•

•

•

•

Instruction for students will operate on a three-tiered model responsive to the number of COVID-19 cases and quarantines in schools and the latest health guidance. (page 18). The model being implemented will change as needed.

Recognizing that there will be factors – predictable and unpredictable – outside of our control that will arise as we continue to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic (such as students and/or teachers needing to quarantine because of COVID-19 exposure or diagnosis), teachers will be intentional in developing lessons and activities that will be flexible for face-to-face and remote delivery.

Students who are under COVID-19 quarantine/isolation can continue to participate in school through remote learning. Students will not be marked as absent if they participate remotely.

Students who are unable to attend school because of an extended/chronic illness for three or more consecutive days can participate remotely if arranged in advance through the building principal.

Recognizing that there will be factors outside of our control, lessons and activities will be flexible for face-to-face and remote learning.

• The school district has developed a comprehensive School Reopening & Academic Recovery planning document to prepare for changing conditions that includes contingency plans for instruction and operations if more stringent health guidance and safety requirements become necessary.

• This planning will allow the district to make changes and accommodations in short order should they be needed.

• Existing efforts and practices such as planning and creating lessons and courses for flexible pedagogy and delivery that can adapt if students and/or teachers need to quarantine because of COVID-19 exposure or diagnosis support our contingency plans and should help in making changes and accommodations relatively seamless.

This pandemic will continue to evolve and change; therefore, we, too, must be prepared to evolve and change.
