Traditional Option:

This option will be for regular attendance and classroom instruction.  We have outlined below a few adjustments that will need to be made in order to maintain a healthy and safe environment for our students. All items are subject to change based on information from the State Department of Education, CDC, or local health care agencies.

Before School/Arrival

  • Buses will run routes as normal
    • All parents who can are strongly encouraged to transport their students to and from school.
    • Hand Sanitizer will be on the bus and required before boarding
    •  Siblings will be allowed to sit together.
    • Students will be assigned seats and will maintain that seat daily.
    • Buses will be disinfected after every trip.
  • Students who are eating breakfast will go to the cafeteria
    • All 8th graders and HS students will eat breakfast in the classroom at the high school after 1st hour.
    • Middle school students will eat at tables in the gym lobby.
    •  Students not eating breakfast: Elementary students will go to their classroom, middle school students will go to the gym.
  • Temperatures will be taken for all students before they enter the buildings.
    • Any temperature above 100 degrees: students will be moved to a waiting room, and parents will be contacted to take them home.

  • All tables and seats will be disinfected after each class leaves the cafeteria.
  • All servers will wear gloves and a mask.

 

 

 

Recess:

  • Recess times will be staggered to limit the number of classes and students on the playground at one time.
  • No outside toys/equipment will be allowed at school or on the playground.

Physical Education:

  • P.E. will be held outdoors as much as possible.
  • Classes will be separated into different areas to limit contact with students from a different class.
  • Any equipment used during class will be disinfected after each class period.
  • Students will bring water bottles with them and students will not be allowed to use water fountains.

Classrooms:

  • Masks will be encouraged but not mandatory

  • Students in all grades will be assigned a seat.
  • Each student will have individual supplies. (i.e. crayons, scissors, etc.)
  • Hand sanitizer will be available in all classrooms and used at assigned times throughout the day.
  • Teachers will disinfect desks, chairs, and equipment once during the day at elementary and after each period/class change at the middle school and high school.
  • All high touch surfaces will be disinfected daily. 

 

 

Visitors:

  • All visitors will be screened and temperature taken before entering the building.
  • Visitors will be limited to essential business only. (i.e. IEP meetings)
  • Parents picking up students during the day will wait outside the door and their child will come out.
  • Dismissal at the end of the day parents will need to wait in their vehicle to eliminate congregating at the entrance.

 

Students/Teacher Illness:

  • Any student or teacher who enters with a fever or develops a fever during the day will be taken to a designated waiting room until picked up by a parent.
  • If they have symptoms related to COVID-19 they will need to be symptom free for 10 days, fever free for 72 hours without medication, or produce a letter from a licensed physician/ health department of a negative test.
  • Any student or teacher who had close contact with an individual who tests positive, which is defined as within 6 feet for 15 minutes or longer, will have to self-quarantine for 14 calendar days from last contact.

 

Confirmed Case Outbreak:

  • In the event Verden Public Schools or the town of Verden experiences an outbreak of confirmed COVID-19 cases, additional steps and precautions will be implemented.  These precautions can range anywhere from meals in classrooms, mandatory face masks while outside the classroom, to school closure/virtual instruction for all students.  These decisions are not made lightly and all options will be considered.  The health and safety of our students and community will continue to be our top priority.  We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we navigate through these unprecedented times.

Virtual Option:

  • Available for students in grades K-12.
