COVID-19 Policy

FACE MASKS

• We are continuing to create our policies relating to face masks based on recommendations and/or requirements put forth by our local DPH, the CDC, our licensing agency.

• Staff: OGM Staff will be required to wear face masks:

  • if helping with Arrival & Dismissal.

  • when inside the classroom or main hallway.

  • at staff meetings.

• Parents: OGM requires that parents/authorized pick-up wear face masks at Arrival and Dismissal. Parents entering the building to drop off for Early Stay or pick up for Late Stay are required to wear a face mask (plenty are available for parent use just inside the front door).

• Children: Children in our Primary program are encouraged to bring face masks to and from school daily. In accordance with the guidelines from the CDC and DECAL, children 2 and older may elect to wear face masks. Masks for children are not required, but children may opt to wear them.

• Visitors: All adults visiting OGM campus will be required to wear a face mask.

TEMPERATURE CHECKS

• Upon arrival, all children and staff must have their temperature taken and promptly wash their hands.

• All visitors on campus are required to have their temperature taken.
