Your parent/guardian will be contacted via the main office. You will be placed in an isolated area until you are collected from school. • Wear your face mask/protective visor consistently every day. Students must enter the building with their mask on. Any student who refuses to wear or removes a mandated face covering will not be allowed to enter/remain in the school building. • Wash your hands regularly with soap and water or hand sanitizer. • Do not share cups, eating utensils, food or drinks with others. • Maintain social distancing at all times (6 feet) both inside and outside of classrooms. • Remember to not touch your face. • Model good practice such as sneezing or coughing into your elbow. • Do not stigmatize your peers or tease anyone about being sick or make statements to incite fear in others. • Obey signs posted around the school regarding Covid-19 related policies and practices that have been instituted at Hudson College. • Remain within designated areas for high school students. Do not enter K-8 areas • Covid-19 Guidellines 2020-21 (second floor) or 1st floor classrooms. I m p a c t o n D a i l y A c t i v i t i e s • Procedures are in place to check for signs and symptoms of students on arrival to school. • Indoor assemblies will be limited. Virtual assemblies will be used to impart general information to students. • Specialized additional cleaning will be completed throughout the day of common areas. • Students will only be allowed to access lockers after period 2 during the day. Students will be excused at the end of period 2 in a staggered fashion by teachers to avoid Upper School Handbook congestion in the hallways. After lunch they will collect items for period 3 and 4. • Upper School students all have one Study Period every day. For our Grade 11 and 12 students, if their Study Period is Period 1, in the 2020-21 School Year they will come to school at 10:00am. If their Study Period is Period 4, they can leave school after Period 3 or study at school under a teacher's supervision. This creates a staggered start and end for Upper School students each day. • Students whose Study Period is Period 2 and 3, will study and review with the same group of students every day as their social "bubbles", and under teachers' supervision. Administrators and teachers will monitor the safe socially-distanced movement of Upper School students in the halls between periods. • For the mental health of our teenage students, extra-curricular activities will still be offered as much as possible using a distancing model, and offered outdoors whenever possible. 5 Hudson College 21 Ascot Ave, Toronto, ON 416-631-0082 HudsonCollege.ca Classroom Locations and Codes Hudson’s designated high school area encompases the third floors of both the East and West side of the building.The first two floors of the West Side are occupied by Stella Maris Elementary.
