COVID-19 UPDATES & INFORMATION

COVID-19 UPDATES

The health and safety of our students and staff is our top priority at Circus Juventas. We have worked diligently to adhere to all mandates and recommendations from the Office of the Governor, Minnesota Department of Heatlth, and CDC. We will continue to monitor and update our procedures as necessary throughout the year.

CJ will be operating within state-mandated capacity limitations to ensure that we do not exceed 25% building capacity and that all students and staff can maintain 6 ft. social distance. All students will be temp checked and given a Health Screening Checklist upon entering the building. We have increased our cleaning and sanitization procedures, replaced the filters in our HVAC system, and installed fans to increase air flow. Our student traffic patterns within the building have been adjusted to avoid clustering of students at arrival and departure and to help maintain separation of students by hour.

Thanks to our families and staff for following these procedures. Together, we will stay CJ strong!

CJ'S STAY SAFE CATEGORIES

We have assigned each of our classes and acts a CJ Stay Safe Category. CJ will use these categories to help determine which acts and levels can be conducted based on the ability to meet social distancing requirements. When possible, curriculum will be adapted to adhere to social distancing and/or bring the class into a lower category.

Category 1: Can maintain 6 ft. of distancing from other students / no shared equipment / minimized coach contact.
Category 2: Can maintain 6 ft. of distancing from other students / some shared equipment / minimized coach contact.
Category 3: Cannot guarantee 6 ft. of distancing from other students / some shared equipment / minimized coach contact.
Category 4: High student-to-student contact / cannot maintain 6 ft. of distancing during training on shared equipment

CJ Stay Safe Categories are indicated throughout the session guide in the “Prerequisites AND CJ Stay Safe Category” column.

If you have any questions regarding the CJ Stay Safe Categories, please email adminstaff@circusjuventas.org.
