Eton School has planned and put the following in place to reduce exposure for everyone on campus:

General Health

• Daily screenings to keep ill persons off campus.
• Monitoring of student and employee attendance and absences.
• Everyone wears a mask or face shield while on campus.
• Promotion of handwashing throughout the day.

Physical Distancing

• Additional places for arrival and dismissal added to reduce mixing and the use of any common areas. 
• Small self-contained groups with no mixing during the school day.
• Students have designated workspace.
• Additional outside space set up for a class to use during the day.
• Childcare is in the student's classroom, so they stay with the same group throughout the day.

Supplies and Food

• Students have their own school supplies.
• Snacks and lunch come from home and are eaten in their designated space.
• Eton School does not provide any food, nor is any shared food brought into school.
• Each student brings and uses their own water bottle, which can be refilled at school. The regular mouth portion of all drinking fountains in the school are covered and not used.Childcare is in the student's classroom so they stay with the same group through out the day.

Attendance and Illness

• Monitoring of student and employee attendance and absences.
• Plan and steps for when a student or employee becomes sick while on campus (see Eton Safe Plan for details).
• Plan and steps for when there is a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19 (see Eton Safe Plan for details).

All students and staff are screened every day upon arrival on campus. They must pass the screening to be on campus.

The screening consists of:

• Temperature (must be less than 100.4º F)
• Answering specific COVID-19 screening questions per DOH guidelines (The full questions are provided in the Appendix of our Eton Safe Plan.)

🆑 Classrooms

Robust daily cleaning schedule for all materials and fixtures per the DOH guidelines:

• Routine cleaning of high touch and frequently touched surfaces and adjusting the frequency based on the level of use
• Soap and water for cleaning and then sanitization with the use of a COVID-19 approved disinfectant. Eton School uses Clean Smart (ready to use) and Oxivir Five 16 (concentrate that is mixed according to the directions).
• Alcohol wipes or 60% isopropyl alcohol are used to clean keyboards and electronics.
• Outdoor areas receive regular routine cleaning and do not require disinfection per DOH guidelines. 

🆑 Restrooms

All buildings have contact-free soap and paper towel dispensers, and all except Veldare have contact-free water faucets. 

• Pre-elementary (Mezzo and Casa) and Lower Elementary (Main) students will be escorted to the bathroom by staff who ensure only one person at a time is using the restroom and will clean contact surfaces after student use.
• Upper Elementary and Middle School sixth grade in Casa classrooms each have their own designated single-stall restroom to avoid intermixing of groups. Contact surfaces such as flush handles and doorknobs will be cleaned.
• Middle School seventh- and eighth-grade classrooms in Veladare have a designated restroom to avoid intermixing of groups. Contact surfaces such as flush handles and doorknobs will be cleaned.

🆑 Ventilation

• HVACs upgraded with bipolar ionizers.
• Each classroom has its own portable air purifier.
• Outside windows and doors are left open more frequently.

🆑 General Cleaning and Maintenance

The school uses a janitorial service for the day-to-day maintenance of hard surfaces and carpeted floors. They use TruShot by SC Johnson, a disinfectant cleaner for hospitals, which is an anti-bacterial and virucide. They clean high-touch areas and surfaces nightly throughout the entire campus and conduct a deeper cleaning in as many rooms as possible each night—this means that all rooms are getting a deep cleaning every second or third night.

Here are some suggestions and tips to help protect your child and your family when returning to campus:

• Monitor your family's health and watch for signs of COVID-19.
• Limit the personal items your child brings to school. A backpack or bag to keep things together, a lunch box, snack and water bottle are all that is needed each day.
• Practice wearing the mask/face shield before coming to school. Chat about the reason for wearing it and when it is okay to remove it, such as at lunch when eating.
• Discuss and practice physical distancing to help them gain a better understanding of their own space and distance.
• Practice washing hands and talk about when to wash hands during the day.
• Send extra masks/shields in case the one being worn needs to be changed.
• After picking up from school:
  • Remove your child's mask once in the car and put it in a bag until it can be washed.
  • Use hand sanitizer after removing the mask.
  • Take off and leave shoes outside the home.
  • Change clothes upon arriving home and wash hands afterward.
  • Wipe down or wash your child's backpack and lunch box.
• Keep your child home if they are feeling ill.
