Inside the Hybrid Classroom

Use the interactive classrooms below to learn more about the infection mitigation strategies in a hybrid classroom.

INFECTION MITIGATION AND RESPONSE PLANS

The district has created comprehensive infection mitigation and response playbooks that outline efforts to reduce risk of transmission of the virus in school settings. In addition to the district document below, building principals have worked with their staff to create school-specific guidelines. In the event that someone does test positive, we have also developed action plans for both students and staff to separate them from others, provide appropriate cleaning and disinfection, notify others, and provide contact tracing.
