The health and safety of our students, staff, and families will remain an overarching priority. We are developing models and guidance for the many facets of this priority, including: expectations for personal protective equipment (masks); protocols for classroom and hallways; procedures for entering and exiting buildings/campus; schedules and procedures for cleaning and disinfecting; etc. It will take the coordination across the K-12 working together to ensure the environment is as safe as is reasonably possible.

How will mask-wearing and social distancing be reinforced with students? Are there disciplinary actions?
Our systems at Peak to Peak are designed to focus on understanding the circumstances behind any disciplinary situation. Our focus, therefore, will first be to understand why a student might not be complying with mask-wearing (unless due to disability or doctor-approved health reasons) or social distancing requirements. It will be our goal to respond in an equitable manner that helps to educate all involved about the importance of these measures and their relationship to keeping our school community safe.
