Final New Protocol - Access to Retrieve Student Belongings copy.pdf

This week, you received a notification email and phone call from the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board (DPCDSB) and a document regarding the Protocol for Retrieval of Students’ Personal Effects from school lockers, etc. The message also referred to the drop-off of school property such as musical instruments, textbooks, library books and any learning devices that are no longer required. If you haven’t already done so, please read the Protocol document carefully.

2. Maintain a minimum 2-meter distance at all times, as you enter and exit the building, and as directed by staff supervisors;

4. Do not congregate in the hallways or anywhere on the property when leaving the property. You must leave the property immediately after exiting the building.
5. Students must sanitize their hands upon entering and exiting the school building. Hand sanitizer will be provided.
6. Students are encouraged to wear their own cloth or non-medical masks to the school.
7. Bags and other containers from outside the school cannot be brought into the school.  Clear plastic bags will be available for students to collect belongings and garbage bins will be provided to dispose of any items.
8. Please adhere to the following protocol:

SELF ASSESSMENT:

• Any person accessing the school should perform a COVID-19 self-assessment before arriving at the school. The Ministry of Health’s self-assessment can be accessed at: hkps://covid-19.ontario.ca/self-assessment/
  
• If the self-assessment directs you to stay home and monitor your health or to get tested for COVID-19, do not come to the school.
  
• Entry shall be denied to any person who has any of the symptoms outlined in the ‘COVID-19 Reference Document for Symptoms’ on the Ministry of Health’s COVID-19 website. 
• Entry shall also be denied to any person who has been in contact with anyone suspected or confirmed of having COVID-19 in the past 14 days. 

• Each student will only have access inside the school for 15 minutes 

• No more than 5 individuals are to be permitted to congregate in an area, including a classroom, at a time.                                                                          

Entering and Exiting

• Private security guards will be on hand to ensure that appropriate physical distancing is maintained outside the school and to ensure that all visitors leave the school property immediately after collecting belongings.
• Anyone accessing the building should do the following:
• Avoid touching their eyes, nose and mouth.
• Cover a cough and sneeze with a tissue or arm, not a hand.
  

 Physical Distancing

• Students must maintain physical distancing of 2 metres from others at all times. 
• Use of washrooms and drinking fountains is not permitted.
• Wearing of face coverings (e.g., cloth masks) where physical distancing cannot be maintained or is difficult is recommended.

 Return of Items to the School

• A designated area for return of items, such as musical instruments, library books, and textbooks, if they are no longer required, will be provided.
• Returned Items should be labelled with masking tape by the students with the name and grade of the student and the classroom teacher’s name prior to arriving at the school. 
• Information about the timing for returning technology/devices will be communicated separately

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

• Students should access their lockers alone, unless they need parent support for a specific circumstance.  This is to limit the number of people wishing to access the building
• Reminder for students to know/bring their locker combination.  Locks may need to be cut by custodians if the combination is forgotten/not known.
• social gatherings at the school will not be permitted.
• any current lost and found items at the school will be placed on a table for pick up. 

We look forward to working together to keep our students and their families safe.

As the Continuity of Catholic Learning extends until June 26, there will be a further opportunity to drop off devices, textbooks, etc., that may still be required, in early July.

Thank you for your attention to this important information. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the school at 905-676-1287
