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

General Health

• All students and unvaccinated adults (medical or religious exemptions only) wear a mask while on campus.
• All adults wear a mask when in shared space with students.
• Promotion of hand washing through the day
• Monitoring of student and employee attendance and absences.

Physical Distancing

• Additional places for arrival and dismissal to reduce mixing and use of common areas.
• Small groups with limited mixing during the school day while on campus.
• Students have designated workspace.
• Outside space is set up for a class to use during the day.
• Childcare is in small consistent groups.
• Only students and staff are allowed in the buildings.

Supplies and Food

• Students have their own school supplies.
• Snacks and lunch come from home and are eaten in their designated space.
• Each student brings and uses their own water bottle, which can be refilled at school. 

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 asked to screen themselves before coming to campus and to remain at home if any signs/symptoms of COVID-19 are present. A list of screening questions is provided as a reference in the Eton Safe Plan.

Classrooms

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

• 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 (mixed according to 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.
• Pre-elementary (Mezzo/Casa) and Lower Elementary (Main) students are monitored to ensure physical distancing in the restroom. All contact surfaces are cleaned frequently during the day.
• Upper Elementary and Middle School sixth-grade classrooms each have their own designated single‑stall restroom to avoid intermixing of groups. Contact surfaces such as flush handles and doorknobs are 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 are cleaned.

Ventilation

• 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:

• 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.
  • Wipe down or wash your child's backpack and lunch box.
• Keep your child home if they are feeling ill.
