Will students be required to wear a mask?
Grades PK – 5 Masks must be worn when student grouping (cohorts) is not possible. Grades 6-12 Masks must be worn at all times when physical distancing is not possible.
 

Will staff be required to wear a mask?
Yes. All staff must wear a face covering when physical distancing is not possible.
 

Will staff temperatures be checked?
Yes. Staff will be scanned daily upon entrance into the school regardless of response color/level at the time.
 

Will students’ temperature and symptoms be checked?
Yes. Students will be screened for symptoms as needed and periodically throughout the day. Student temperatures may be taken in the classroom to avoid bottlenecks at the exterior doors and to help with maintaining physical distance during arrival. If a child visits the nurse, temperature will be checked. The nursing department will have infra-red thermometers to use. Red / Level 2 response will require a temperature check for everyone entering the school daily.
 

What will be the protocol for a sick student?
We have worked with our local health departments to establish a response to student or staff illnesses. Guidelines for fever free will be 24 hours WITHOUT fever reducing medications. Parents must contact their child’s school when students are absent or become ill. Students with COVID symptoms at school will be immediately placed in a safe space, masked, and with the nurse/counselor until parents arrive.
 

How do I bring medicine to school?
When you have the medicine and the doctor’s consent form, please drop off medications at the school office or arrange a time to meet with the school nurse.

LR is committed to providing quality meals for breakfast and lunch during the 2020-2021 school year. The following procedures have been put into place to ensure the health and safety of students and employees while providing nutritious meals on a daily basis.
 

How will my child be protected during meal time?
All staff are trained in food safety and will adhere to public health guidelines. LR is working on the least amount of touch points as possible and will work to limit contact points with meal service. Cooks will wear masks and gloves at all times.
 

How will physical distancing be practiced during breakfast and lunch?
PK – 5 breakfast will be in the classroom. Grades 6 – 12  breakfast will be grab-n-go style, in cafeteria and/or classroom with physical distancing.
 

K – 5 Lunch will be scheduled in classrooms and cafeterias to accommodate physical distancing and keep student groupings (cohorts) while in the cafeteria.
 

Since grades 6 – 12 change classes and intermingle with other grade levels, cohorting is not possible. Therefore, students will have options to eat lunch in alternative classrooms/spaces in order to accommodate for physical distancing. We are also working to modify/add lunch periods.

How will my child learn important standards which may have been missed but are necessary in the next course or grade level for success?
This past spring, teams of teachers collaborated to determine the standards which were to be taught in the Spring 2020 and are essential to student success at the next grade level or the next course. These standards will be highlighted in the curriculum, and teachers will assess and reinforce these standards. There will be an emphasis on the English Language Arts (ELA) / Reading and Math essential standards. 
 

If students get sick or have to self-quarantine, how will they access instruction?
Alternative methods of instruction will be made available when in-person instruction is not possible. Alternative methods of instruction may include, but are not limited to virtual courses. 
 

We have a high-risk medical situation in our family, what are our options besides in-person school for 20-21?
Students needing an alternative to in-person instruction, due to a high-risk medical situation may contact their child’s school. Procedures are in place to partner with families to determine what is in the “best educational interest” of a student.
