Safety First

Schechter LI
Covid-19 Pandemic Precautions

 

Schechter Long Island’s safety guidelines have allowed us to maintain our educational standards and remain open throughout the Covid-19 pandemic while thriving.  Our protocols were created utilizing the most current guidance from New York State and Nassau County and those of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the New York State Education Department, neighboring states, local school districts, national school associations, and local health systems.

How We Stay Safe

 

Masks & Social Distancing:

– All staff, faculty, & students wear masks outside & inside
– Desk are spaced 6 ft. apart
– Re-designed spaces for classroom use/improved health
– Large tents added outside for lunch, recess, gym, social use
– Class size limits, additional staff

 

 

 

Training:

– Faculty/staff trained to recognize signs of illness
– How to lead a socially distant classroom
– Mental health training
Students trained in hygiene techniques

 

 

Dual Educational Modes:

Our model of instruction allows students who are able to be in school to enjoy almost normal in-person learning while those who are unable to be in the classroom can access their classes through live, remote instruction. Zoom access to class sessions is provided to encourage a community of responsibility and stay home if any symptoms are present. Classrooms are equipped to live-stream lessons, providing opportunities for home-bound students to maintain their class attendance.

Daily Screening:

Parents screen for the continuing good health status of their children each day before sending them to school using the Covid QuickScreen App.

Sanitizing:

– Playground equipment is disinfected
– Classrooms have an EPA-approved disinfectant spray applied overnight
– Portable sinks have been added in various locations
– Interior doors remain open to diminish the need to touch common surfaces
