TURNING POINT - LEWIS COUNTY ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL REOPENING PLAN Draft -- 7/30/2020

Max building safe student capacity at any given time = 22 (with no additional furniture or modifications)

AM & PM groups of 25 each (enrollment cap, assuming 80% attendance), down from an unofficial cap of 30 per session -- typical attendance was 20-22. We may be OK with enrollment cap of 30 per session -- would need a plan for what to do if more than 22 attend. This is subject to change, per DOH guidelines.

One student per table, no moving chairs.

Normal course expectations (completion percentages, etc.) resume in September. We adjusted expectations for scores and percent of course completed during the shutdown.

Currently: ● ALE model allows students to attend school less than “full-time.” ● Standard: 2.75 hours/day, 4 days/week. Work from home the remainder of the time (17 hours/week). ● With permission, students can attend class “live” for fewer hours -- as little as one per week. ● Court-ordered students attend M-F, all others attend M-Th. Fridays optional for non-CO kiddos. ● Depending on the outcome of the CSD-CEA agreement, we may shift our “off” day from Friday each week to Wednesday. This will allow Turning Point staff to participate with other district staff in training.

New Situations/Considerations: 1. Will Turning Point need to serve additional students? Likely not, due to occupation restrictions. However, we should prepare to assist with students/families who choose to do ALL distance learning. a. Plan for WFW & CMS students who want to do school from home b. Plan to accommodate student transition to and from WFW & CMS c. Consider sharing course offerings with WFW & CMS d. Maintain the character of Turning Point: an alternative high school, that occasionally serves middle school students. 2. Temperature check for students at start of day, and attestation from parents re: symptoms. 3. Food planning a. Eat at desks, however, some could eat in the entry area. b. Morning students take lunch and leave 4. Process for frequent hand-washing -- plenty of sinks! a. On entry b. Before eating c. After eating d. On exit 5. Zoom or other online meetings will be sufficient per ALE rules -- WAC 392-121-182 (3)(d): . . . Direct personal contact can be accomplished in person or through the use of telephone, email, instant messaging, interactive video communication, or other means of digital communication. 6. Transition to Google Classroom-based assignments. 7. We will need PPE -- masks for students. 8. 15-minute PE breaks during the day will need to be modified to ensure safety of students. This includes select outdoor activities and indoor exercise room cleaning. 9. One-to-one Chromebooks. Need a supply of extras on-site to avoid issues if/when students forget theirs. 10. If a student has family commitments re: A/B days, Turning Point will be flexible. So, a student MAY only attend every other day. 11. Survey a. “What are your plans for returning to school in the fall?” b. “Will you attend school every day, or do you need to help take care of younger siblings on their ‘remote learning’ days?” c. (combination online, followed up with phone calls) d. Begin survey first week of August -- following Board meeting
