Physical Distancing In accordance with Arkansas Department of Health directives, we will limit close contact between students. We will achieve this through the following actions: ● Arrange classrooms and other areas to maximize spacing between students and teacher to the extent possible (student desks will be set at least 6 feet apart); this means we will be removing flexible seating options or areas where students would be able to share seats, materials, etc. ● Implement staggered student attendance to reduce the number of students who are on-site at school on any given day. ● Amend daily school schedules to conform with physical distancing guidelines (e.g. stagger lunches/use classrooms for dining, minimize transitions for students).
