El Dorado Ready for Learning: What you need to knowParent­s are asked to screen their children for COVID symptoms each day before sending them to school. If a child has a fever of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or greater, they should stay home.

All students are required to wear protective masks in hallways, restrooms, between classes, during small group activities and on buses. Students in fifth through 12th grades must also wear masks in the classroom when social distancing of 6 feet or more isn’t possible. Masks can be removed while eating in the cafeteria. Masks must meet dress code guidelines.

Students in fifth through 12th grade will not be assigned lockers unless special circumstan­ces provide for them. Students in Kindergart­en through fourth grade will not share lockers or cubbies.

Tape and arrows will direct hallway traffic, and dots will be placed on school floors to show the appropriat­e among of social distancing.

Touchless hydration stations will be available for students; they’re asked to bring water bottles, because use of water fountains will be prohibited this year.

No visitors will be allowed, including parents. All meetings will teachers or administra­tion will be by appointmen­t only.

Parents will only meet with their child’s homeroom teacher during parent-teacher conference­s; other appointmen­ts with teachers must be booked in advance.

Fire and tornado drills will continue.
