COVID-19 INFORMATION

SCHOOL OPERATIONS

CCP follows the guidance and directives from North Carolina State and the Gaston County Health Department as we make decisions about our operations. Also, we're reinforcing CDC -recommended preventative measures, which we describe below.

HOW WE'RE KEEPING SAFE

Nothing is more important to us than our children, families, and faculty's health and safety. That's why we've been working hard to implement additional policies and procedures to keep our school family safe and combat germs.

  • DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP PROCEDURES

Our routines for drop-off and pick-up are designed to ensure everyone in our school stays healthy and safe. We will implement a staggered drop-off and pick-up schedule allowing ten minutes for each class to check in and be dismissed. Please be patient and on time. All caregivers and children age  2 years old and older, who are able to safely wear masks are asked to wear a mask during drop off. Once the children join their class they may remove their masks and will not wear them for the remainder of the school day. At arrival, we will conduct a quick health screening to ensure your child does not have a fever above 100.4 degrees. By signing your child in at our check-in table, you are confirming that your child does not have  COVID or COVID symptoms; chills, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, new cough, a new loss of taste or smell. You are confirming that your child has not been exposed to someone who has COVID within the last 14 days.

To limit exposure, adults will not enter the building at arrival;  classroom teachers will greet and take children to the classroom.

At pick-up, each class has a designated time and location. Your child's teacher will bring children to their location for parents to sign out of school. Please be mindful of keeping a six-foot distance from others during drop-off and pick-up.

Families are asked, whenever possible, to assign one family member for drop off and pick up to minimize exposure to multiple people.

  • LIMITED CLASSROOM ACCESS

Classrooms are reserved for teachers and children. To limit non-essential personnel in our schools, we have temporarily discontinued all specialized activities such as music and physical education encore classes and have discontinued chapel services outside of classrooms. Our teachers are prepared to offer these experiences with the children in the classroom. Caregivers are asked to not enter the school buildings to curb exposure to the children unless 

  • KEEPING AREAS CLEAN

Our teachers will implement an even more rigorous cleaning routine, and all high-touch surfaces and objects will be sanitized regularly throughout the day. These include, but are not limited to, learning materials, playground structures, light switches, and door handles.

  • FACE COVERINGS

Children and adults who are able, will wear masks at drop off. Caregivers are asked to wear masks at any time they are on-site and within six feet of others.. Teachers will wear masks inside the buildings during the school day when social distancing is not possible.


  • WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY CHILD IS SICK OR A FAMILY MEMBER HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH COVID-19?

For the safety of children, families, and staff at CCP, anyone who is ill must stay home. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with covid-19, or is experiencing symptoms should immediately alert us and stay home. Please follow the CDC's recommendations if you're unwell or if you have been diagnosed with covid-19.
