COVID GUIDELINES

In order to adhere to all CDC and city health regulations, we will be requiring the following:

Before coming to class, please assess your child's health. If your child has any symptoms or feels ill, please do not send them to class. If someone in your family is ill or if your child may have had close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 within the previous 2 weeks, please do not send your child to class.
All AEP team members will complete a health self-assessment before coming to camp and will not be permitted to come to work if they are ill or if they have been in close contact with someone in the previous 2 weeks who has tested positive for COVID-19.
All students and AEP team members must wear a face covering in public spaces and when interacting with others. We have marked the floors to help social distance students in the classroom. At times, students will have to be within 6 ft of each other. We will do our best to social distance throughout class, but some activities may not allow for it. If students are socially distanced (at least 6 ft apart) and they need a break from their face coverings, that is okay, especially for physical activity such as dance and movement.
Parents will not be permitted to enter the building or the classroom.
Each student as well as AEP team member must have their temperature taken before entering the building. Anyone with a temperature over 100 degrees will not be permitted in the building.
Students will have their own plastic bin in which to keep their personal belongings as well as individual AEP craft supplies. All items should be labeled and kept separate from others' belongings.
Extra seating has been removed from tables to ensure students maintain a distance of at least 6 ft while eating.
Hand sanitizer will be provided in each classroom. Students may also bring and use their own hand sanitizer.
Frequent, scheduled hand-washing breaks will be taken throughout the day.
Students cannot share craft supplies, props, or toys.
Students cannot hold hands, do partner work, or give high fives.
High-touch surfaces and items will be wiped down frequently.
The facility will be cleaned and sanitized each day.
No more than 10 people total will be allowed in any classroom. Parents will not be permitted to watch the performance in person. The final presentation on the last day of class will be recorded, and barring any technical difficulties, will be emailed to the parents.
