Cleaning and Sanitizing
We pride ourselves on the cleanliness of our building under normal circumstances. Additional cleaning and sanitizing protocols have been implemented as follows:
- routine sanitizing and cleaning of common areas throughout the day
- routine sanitizing of high-traffic, high-touch surfaces
- classroom tables and chairs are disinfected throughout the day
- classroom tables and chairs are disinfected after school and again when the building is closed for the day
- entire building is cleaned and sanitized each night, including wiping down all surfaces in every room and fogging with a military-grade disinfectant, Decon 7
Drop Off and Pick Up Procedure
- Drop off will be done in the driveway each morning. At this time, we are minimizing the number of persons in the building.
- Every child will have his/her temperature taken each morning and any child showing any signs of illness or who has recently been around someone who is ill will not be allowed at school.
- A child may be dismissed from CLC Academy if a parent knowingly brings an ill child to school.
- When parents pick up their child at the end of the school day, they are asked to call the front office and a staff member will bring the child out to the front of the building.
Classroom Set Up/Groups
- Students will be seated to maximize the distance between seats.
- Class sizes will be minimized to the degree possible and students will remain with their group throughout the day. Our class sizes remain much smaller than traditional public school classes.
- Students are expected to socially distance.
- Sharing of materials and supplies will be minimized.
- Each student is expected to have his/her own supply of pencils, crayons, etc. to minimize sharing.
- Lunches and breaks will be outdoors, weather permitting.
Handwashing/Hand Sanitizing
- Students will be encouraged to wash their hands frequently and use hand sanitizer.
Masks or Face Shields Required

- Kindergarten and 1st Grade students are not expected to wear masks or face shields unless requested by the parents.
- Masks or face shields will be required for students in 2nd Grade and above. Breaks will be given with regularity to ensure that students remain as comfortable as possible.
