COVID-19

Inventor STEM School is committed to maintaining the healthiest possible environment for our
students, families, instructors, and staff. To this end, we have implemented the following enhanced
cleaning and safety protocols.*

Masks and Distancing

  • Masks are required at all times for instructors, staff, students, and parents/
    visitors. Masks must be multi-layered with earloops or ties that cover the mouth and
    nose with a snug fit.
  • Large, de-densified, well-ventilated classrooms: normal capacity of 8-12 students
    per class currently reduced by 50%.
  • Clear dividers have been installed at Reception and available for use in
    classrooms.

Cleaning and Sanitizing

  • All high-touch surfaces and learning materials in classrooms and common areas are
    sanitized regularly throughout the day. These include, but are not limited: student
    tables, LEGO bricks, keyboards, iPads, door handles, light switches, and other
    surfaces
  • Professional surface cleaning and disinfecting nightly (including floors).
  • Designated one-way foot traffic wherever possible.

Handwashing/Sanitizing

  • Automatic hand sanitizer dispensers installed in common areas and at each classroom
    door, and easy access to ample, well-supplied restrooms for handwashing.
  • Students directed to sanitize their hands when entering and exiting classrooms.

Drop-off/Pick-up and Symptom Screening

  • Families of enrolled students are required to sign an agreement stating that they:
    • Understand the daily symptoms they should be monitoring for themselves and
      their child, and will keep their child home if any of these symptoms develop
    • Will immediately notify the Director and stay home if they, their child, or
      other household member has been diagnosed with COVID-19
  • Families are asked to be mindful of keeping adequate distance from others during
    drop-off and pick-up. Symptom screening and data collection (for contact tracing
    purposes) are required of all non-student visitors (including
    parents/families)
    entering any area beyond Reception.
  • Daily symptom/travel screenings are required for all instructors and staff

health authorities
