Ryan Academy Reopening Plan
Classroom learning is the heart of why we’re together at Ryan Academy. Our plan is to accommodate and encourage social distancing in learning spaces, taking advantage of Ryan’s already small class sizes, large campus and our available classroom spaces. We are working to adjust layouts within classrooms.
We are also making plans to use technology in order to provide flexibility should students need to miss class for health reasons. Having these tools in place will also allow for continuity of instruction if public health considerations warrant additional steps – for example a short suspension of in-person classes for increased cleaning and testing.
Resources will be available to ensure that students who have symptoms of an illness or have been quarantined can be absent physically from the class but maintain progress with their work.
In line with state guidance, Ryan’s policy regarding face coverings is to encourage them, and to ask any faculty, staff or students, when appropriate, to wear them when social distancing is not possible.
Ryan Academy’s plan is to offer in-person instruction five days a week during Phases II and III. The health, safety, and well-being of faculty/staff, students, parents, and the greater community are our top priority. The directives and recommendations in this reopening plan are based on Phase Guidance for Virginia Schools first released by Governor Northam in June 2020 (including subsequent updates), the recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Virginia Department of Health, and the Virginia Council for Private Education.
The Phase Guidance for Virginia Schools includes three phases that are aligned with the Forward Virginia phases and are designed to mitigate the risks of spreading COVID-19.The directives and guidance will be reevaluated and updated as needed due to the fluidity of changing information as a result of all that is still being learned about COVID-19.
Temperature checks will occur at drop off each morning and caregivers will be asked to complete daily health assessments before coming to school.
By entering Ryan Academy, all employees, students, parents, and all authorized visitors, acknowledge the following:
