“Saint paul's went to virtual learning in march 2020 until the end of the school year for our school-age students. Our infants through toddlers returned in may of 2020 with enhanced protocols. Some of the enhancements for the fall of 2020 developed to keep the school healthy and open by reducing possible exposure to covid-19. We capitalized on our small class sizes, open-air campus, multiple outdoor learning and dining spaces, exterior doors on most of our classrooms, many advanced technologies, and access to a full-time registered nurse. - enhanced campus spaces (hand-sanitizing stations, increased air filter replacements, plexiglass) - enhanced classroom spaces (social distancing within classrooms, outdoor spaces for classrooms, reduced shared materials) - enhanced personal conduct (wellness checks, masks/buffs purchased, handwashing) - enhanced daily schedule (delivered pre-packaged catered lunches, outer doors and revised carlines) - enhanced technologies (continue zoom, google suites, provided at home learning, digital books) - enhanced parent-school partnership (reduced visitors and parents on campus)”
