COVID 19 Updates:

Students are required to wear a cloth face mask or higher at all times inside district facilities. They may remove their masks and utilize a face shield when working through lessons that require view of their mouth. They must be placed back on immediately after the lesson. Students with disabilities, who require visual communication, or are diagnosed with specific medical conditions that require accommodations should work with their building principal and/or the Special Services Department.

 These special accommodations will be communicated through an IEP or 504 plan.

Yes, masks are required on playground equipment, etc and are only allowed to come off in situations where six feet of physical distancing can be ensured. If six feet is not maintained, staff and students will be required to wear a mask.

Please refer to the Washington State Department of Health Guidance on Cloth Face Coverings and CDC Recommendation Regarding the Use of Cloth Face Coverings for more information.

Wearing face coverings has been proven to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and is required for staff and students in all indoor public spaces within the Eatonville School District. At this time, face shields cannot be substituted for face masks unless they meet the following criteria: during specific lessons that may require visual communication, for students with disabilities, or students with certain diagnosed medical conditions. If a student falls into one of these categories, we ask that parents work directly with their student’s principal. Please refer to the Washington State Department of Health Guidance on Cloth Face Coverings and CDC Recommendation Regarding the Use of Cloth Face Coverings for more information.

At this time we do not believe that an exception would be made for a student that experiences foggy glasses. We would recommend trying a different mask that may have a better fit. We are able to provide students with masks that are made specifically for younger students. If that does not seem to work, we can look more deeply into this situation and explore alternative options.

Yes, 2 layer neck gaiters are acceptable.

We are following the Dept of Health and TPCHD guidelines and performing temperature checks via no touch temporal thermometers. This will be the same across our district. We will not utilize other methods of temperature screenings.

The Eatonville school district will be following the Washington State Department of Health guidelines. Any student with symptoms suspicious for Covid-19 including, but not limited to fever, cough, runny nose/congestion, headache, sore throat, fatigue, body aches, loss of taste/smell who is not tested for Covid-19 must remain out of school for 10 days and 24 hours after fever resolves (without the use of fever reducing medications). Any student with the above symptoms who tests positive for Covid -19 must also remain out of school for 10 days after the start of their symptoms and 24 hours after fever resolves (without the use of fever reducing medications).

Per the Tacoma Pierce County Health Dept, any student that is sent home or calls in with Covid symptoms that wishes to return to school sooner than the 10 days, must obtain a negative PCR test. We can no longer accept rapid antigen tests for school clearance.

Contact tracing will be conducted for close contacts (any individual within 6 feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes) of laboratory confirmed COVID-19 patients. Close contact definition: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/php/contact-tracing/contact-tracing-plan/appendix.html#contact

The best materials are 2-3 layers of tightly woven cotton or cotton polyester blend. See the CDC guidelines on how to make a cloth mask: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/how-tomake-cloth-face-covering.html Created 1.23.2021. Resource provided on request.

Care for it just like underwear. Wear one per day and change if dirty, wet or hard to breath through. Place in laundry after removal. Wash like normal laundry and dry in hot dryer. The alternative is to dry outside in direct sunlight. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/how-towash-cloth-face-coverings.htm

Yes. CDC recommends universal masking when outside as well. You can create
“mask free” zone where students can take off their mask while maintaining >6
feet social distancing at all times.

If your student has a confirmed COVID-19 case, it is imperative that it be reported to the school office immediately and that your student be kept home for a minimum of 10 days and 24 hours past symptoms and fever without the use of medications.

Any student with a positive Covid-19 exposure is required to notify the school office immediately and quarantine for 14 days from the date of last contact. This is the safest option. It is recommended that you closely monitor your students' symptoms during this time, and if they experience any COVID-19 symptoms during the 14 days, have them tested.
