Granton School Board Approves Re-opening Plan
Saturday, August 1st, 2020 -- 2:31 PM
The Granton School Board held a special meeting on Monday.At the meeting, they approved the district’s reopening plan for the new school year. They also addressed some frequently asked questions. What should parents do if they suspect their child has symptoms of COVID-19? First parents should recognize symptoms, which include fever, cough, sore throat, chills, headache, loss of taste or smell, fast breathing, etc. Safeguard your family if your child shows symptoms of COVID-19. Parents should keep the child home and keep other family members and pets away from the sick person; only have one person care for the sick person and have the sick person wear PPE; have the sick person use a different bathroom, if possible, and encourage everyone in the home to wash hands frequently.
What is the school doing to safeguard my child? Granton Area Schools will deep clean on a weekly basis. PPE materials are available and highly recommended. Social distancing will take place whenever possible on the school bus and in the classroom. A cohort model may be employed to limit contact with many students throughout the day. Student and staff masks will be required during the passing times to limit the amount of germs spread during this hallway movement.
