COVID-19

General Procedures for Everyone on Campus

● Masks do not have to be worn outside if students are able to keep socially distant from one

another.

● When indoors, masks must be worn when moving about throughout the building.

● Only those with a medical condition that prohibits the use of a mask may go without a mask.

● Every effort should be made to keep students as far apart as possible (or at least 6 feet).

 

Procedures for Cleaning and Sanitizing

● We will use the spray and paper towels that the church prefers and provides. If we use therooms inside, tables and plastic chairs must be sprayed and wiped. Rooms should be vacuumed.

There is one cleaning supply closet on each floor.

● For bathrooms, the church has asked that we only empty the trash and wipe down the sinks. Unless there is an excessive mess, toilets doNOT need to be cleaned.

Procedures for the Foundations/Essentials Programs

● Parents, please be attentive to your own students in regard to keeping masks on and

social distancing. This is a great opportunity for lessons in considering others!

 

Family Illness Policy

Please inform your director if any Community attendee tests positive or receives a presumptive

diagnosis of COVID within 2 weeks of attending Community.

If a family member tests positive for COVID-19, the entire family will be asked to absent themselves

from Community for 2 weeks.

Please be on the lookout for other non-Covid illnesses that will inevitably manifest throughout the year.

If any family member exhibits any of the following symptoms, the entire family should stay home until

free of symptoms.

• Fever above 100 degrees Fahrenheit

• Lethargy, persistent crying, or appearance of illness

• Signs of respiratory illness, such as uncontrolled coughing, difficulty breathing, shortness of

breath, or wheezing apart from chronic allergy or asthma symptoms

• Diarrhea, such as loose or runny stools, a stool that runs out of a diaper, or a sick person who

can’t get to the bathroom in time

• Vomiting

• Sore throat

• New loss of taste or smell

• Any sort of rash, especially when accompanied by a fever or behavior change

We expect families to exercise greater caution this year, to minimize the possible spread of Covid-19.

 

Travel Guidelines

As of August 2020 there is travel advisory in effect for NJ. Please familiarize yourself with the

recommendations. Each family is responsible for abiding by state health mandates. Please exercise

caution after travelling and check the list of affected states regularly. Remember your decisions can

impact the members of our community and other people who use the church after us on Wednesdays.

Our hope is that these procedures will not be a distraction but will serve our Community in growing in

consideration for others.Please make sure your student understands what is expected of

him/her and be attentive in helping your own children follow the Guidelines. If you have a concern

about a student not in compliance, please graciously talk to his/her parent. Please respect that some of

our members have a health condition that limits use of a mask. For the majority of you who are able to

wear a mask, we thank you for complying, despite the inconvenience.

Prepare your heart for the possibility that someone may bring a gentle reminder about one of your

children. Let’s practice the Biblical principle in Matthew 18:15, going to your brother and keeping it

between just the two of you.
