COVID-19 SAFETY PROTOCOLS & PROCEDURES PLEASE NOTE: The following safety protocols and procedures are reflective of the guidance from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) available at the time of this brochure’s creation. CSArts Academy will continue to monitor and adjust policies as new guidance becomes available. The health and safety of our CSArts Academy community is of the utmost importance. Our plan to offer in-person instruction is based on current guidance from public health officials and state agencies, and we will continue to update our policies as data evolves. Here are some of the steps we have taken to proactively ensure the safety of all students and staff who participate in CSArts Academy in-person classes this spring: • All classrooms have received hand sanitizer and cleaning wipes, so that students can disinfect their space prior to the start of each class. • HVAC systems have been upgraded from MERV 8 to MERV 13 to provide a higher level of filtration. • HEPA filters have been installed in each classroom to further filter and circulate air. • Helpful signage has been installed throughout the campus to support healthy practices and physical distancing. • Traditional drinking fountains have been replaced with hands-free water bottle filling stations. Students and parents can expect to participate in the following safety protocols: • Conduct an at-home self-health screening before arriving on campus each day. If students are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, or have tested positive for COVID-19 themselves, they should remain at home. • Wear required face masks while on campus at all times, except while eating or drinking. All students and parents will be required to complete and sign a liability waiver and agreement to follow all safety protocols prior to completing registration. We are confident in these safety measures and protocols, but it is going to take a concerted effort to keep our CSArts Academy community safe. Coming together and following these guidelines will help slow the spread of the disease, protect our participants and teachers, and support CSArts Academy’s ability to continue offering in-person instruction. Thank you in advance for your commitment to this important initiative. If you have any remaining questions about CSArts Academy’s COVID-19 safety protocols and procedures, please email academy@csarts.net.
