COVID-19 UPDATES - FALL 2021
COVID-19 POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
- Masks will be required for all students, staff, and visitors while classes are in session.
- Exemptions:
- Advanced students may remove masks while engaging in high-intensity activities or activities in which a mask could become a physical hazard (choking, blinding, becoming entangled with an apparatus or partner, etc.)
- Masks are not required for students or visitors with a medical exemption that prohibits them from wearing a mask.
- Masks are not required for staff when classes are not in session or when in an area separated from students and visitors.
- We will be closely monitoring COVID conditions in the community as well as vaccination availability for students under 12. We will inform families in advance should we make changes to any of our policies.
- Exemptions:
- Parents/guardians are allowed in the building during building hours, but our parent-viewing area remains CLOSED. Please plan accordingly as our lobby space is limited – we request parents and families limit their time in the building to pick-up and drop-off only as much as possible (unless accompanying students under the age of 10).
- Regular classes will be 50 minutes in order to allow for 10 minutes of cleaning between each class. Please note, not all equipment can be cleaned this way – only applicable non-porous shared surfaces will be sanitized between each class.
- In case of illness, we utilize the COVID-19 Decision Tree for People in Schools, Youth, and Child Care Programsto determine next steps. If your student or a household member is not feeling well, please review this decision tree before attending classes or camps at CJ. Questions may be directed to our administrative team at adminstaff@circusjuvntas.org or by phone at 651-699-8229.
