Hallways *Inclement Weather* | Traffic flow will be reduced by using exterior doors If there is heavy precipitation of any kind (rain, snow, sleet, etc), students will transition indoors, using the hallways. Staff will teach students how to stay to the right side of the hallway and wait for other oncoming traffic to pass (other classes). Light rain – we will teach students about appropriate clothing and accessories (umbrella, jacket, etc) and practice by going outside. Cold weather – we will teach students about appropriate clothing & have them bundle up and then go outside. These plans are for the general population of JVS. Individual student ability & need may keep them indoors transitioning, but all protocols to keep kids and staff safe will be used. Taped lines to show which side of the hallway to use Staggering schedule for lunch Related services push-in to classrooms (sanitize hands before they enter and before they leave) |
