attendance office. Use the district’s “Symptoms at School” document for next steps

medications? (If you are in need of a thermometer, please contact your child’s school)

baseline)?
Does your child have diarrhea or vomiting?
Does your child have new onset of severe headache, especially with a fever?
Does your child have a recent loss of taste or smell?
Does your child have congestion/runny nose?

Within the past 14 days, has your child been in close physical contact (6 feet or
closer for at least 15 minutes) with a person who is known to have laboratory-

FACE COVERING POLICY:
SCHOOL DISTRICT HEALTH & SAFETY ACTIONS
• All staff, as well as all students and all visitors, are required to wear face coverings while in the
classroom, on campus, on district property, on school buses or while attending any school event
unless they have a written medical exemption.
• A face covering, also known as a mask or cloth mask, is material that covers the nose and
mouth. It can be secured to the head with ties or straps or simply wrapped around the lower
face.
• Persons younger than two years old, anyone who has trouble breathing (verified by medical
exemption), anyone who is unconscious or incapacitated, and anyone who is otherwise unable
to remove the face covering without assistance, are exempt from wearing a face covering.
• Medical exemptions for face coverings need to be signed by a medical provider. Medical
exemptions should be turned into any school personnel at the site and uploaded to Q-SIS
Student Documents by front office staff (Document Type - Health).
o If a face covering cannot be worn due to documented medical condition or disability, a
face shield must be used. Additionally, the wearer must maintain physical distance from
others, to the greatest extent practicable. Face shields must wrap around the face and
preferably include a drape at the bottom. Face shields are not allowed to be
substituted for a face covering without a documented medical exemption or disability.
• In limited situations where a traditional face covering cannot be used based on disability or for
developmental reasons (i.e. communicating or assisting young children or those who are deaf or
hard of hearing), clear face coverings are required. These should be handled on a case-by-case
basis.
• Face coverings may be temporarily removed during designated times. For example: meals,
snacks, naptime, or when it needs to be replaced.
• Students should be reminded not to touch the face covering and to wash their hands, or use
hand sanitizer, frequently.
o If needed, staff can reteach and reinforce the use of face coverings, or in limited
instances, face shields.
• Disposable face coverings will be available for individuals who inadvertently fail to bring a face
covering to school, to prevent unnecessary exclusions.
• Schools will exclude individuals from campus if they refuse to wear a face covering and are not
exempt from wearing a face covering under CDPH guidelines.
STUDENT NON-COMPLIANCE
FOR WEARING A FACE COVERING
• It is recommended students bring their own face covering to school daily. For students who
inadvertently fail to bring a face covering to school, disposable face coverings will be available to
prevent unnecessary exclusions. All district staff share the responsibility of ensuring students
are wearing their masks at appropriate times.
• Per California Department of Public Health (CDPH) school reopening guidelines, schools should
exclude individuals from campus if they are not wearing a face covering and do not have an
exemption. Students will be reminded that masks are required while in the classroom, on
campus, on school buses or at any school event. Intentional non-compliance with this
requirement will result in the health and safety actions outlined below.
Note - students forgetting to wear a mask should be provided a disposable mask without incident. If it is
determined that a student inadvertently removed their mask, it should not be considered as a
health/safety or disciplinary incident.
For students who intentionally remove their mask or wear it inappropriately on a school site, school bus
or during a school activity, the following progressive actions should be taken:
Health and Health/Safety Action (Document in Q-SIS Student Visits)
Safety
Incident
1st Warning. Remind and reteach expectation. Notify parent/guardian.
Incident**
2nd Warning and Parent/Guardian Conference. A parent conference should be scheduled with
Incident** administrator, teacher, parent/guardian and student to remind and reteach expectation

Incident** term transfer to Distance Learning (1 week).
4th Student exclusion from in-person learning. Administrator to notify parent/guardian.
Incident** Transfer to Distance Learning (remainder of grading period).
Students who return to in-person learning and intentionally remove their face covering or wear it
inappropriately while in the classroom, on campus, on school buses or any school event unless there is a
written medical exemption, may also be subject to disciplinary action based on California Education
Code (sections 48900 et al.).
Additional health and safety violations or incidents should be handled by sites based on district behavior
guidelines.
** Schools will immediately exclude students from campus if they refuse to wear a face covering and are not
exempt from wearing a face covering under CDPH guidelines

face coverings for all
All students, staff, and visitors are required to wear face coverings
at our schools. Families are welcome to provide face coverings for
their students. Schools will make disposable face coverings
available for any student who does not have one.
Wash your hands before putting on your
face covering.
Check to be sure the face covering fits snugly
over the nose and mouth and under the chin
and that there are no gaps around the sides.
Do NOT touch the face covering when
wearing it.
Face coverings may be temporarily removed
for snacks and meals. Use the straps to
remove the face covering. Then, fold the
outside corners together and store. Wash
your hands after removing the face covering.5 handwashing
steps to stay safe
The health and safety of our students and staff is a top priority in San Juan Unified.
Washing your hands is easy and it’s one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread
of germs. You should wash your hands frequently throughout the day, including before
and after eating; after coughing or sneezing; after classes where you touch shared items;
and before and after using the restroom.

The health and safety of our students and staff is a top
priority in San Juan Unified. It is important that we
maintain 6 feet of physical distance at our schools,
both inside and outside the classroom.
You will see directional
signage around campus
asking you to move in one
single direction through
specific hallways or
pathways. You may also see
markings on the floor to help
maintain space.
The number of individuals

Testing
San Juan Unified will make voluntary COVID-19 testing
centers available to students and staff based on current
California Department of Public Health guidelines.
Here’s why it is important to get tested:
People who test positive and have
symptoms can get care earlier.
The results of your COVID-19 test,
along with other information, can
help your healthcare provider
make informed decisions about
your care.
Being tested for COVID-19 may
help limit the spread of COVID-19
at our schools and in the
community. Contacts can be
traced and self-isolation or
quarantine can be started sooner
to help stop the spread of the
virus.Stay connected
