Feb 18, 2019

Welcome to Community Christian Academy & Preschool, where the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and community are our top priorities. As a leading educational institution in the category of Community and Society - Faith and Beliefs, we are committed to providing a safe and secure environment that promotes learning and growth for all.

Introduction

At Community Christian Academy & Preschool, we understand the importance of implementing effective safety protocols, especially in light of recent events. With the evolving challenges facing educational institutions, we have taken proactive measures to ensure the health and safety of everyone on our premises.

New Safety Measures

Starting from Friday, May 28th, we have introduced a comprehensive set of safety measures that align with the guidelines provided by local health authorities and regulatory bodies. These measures include:

  • Enhanced Cleaning and Sanitization: Our dedicated janitorial staff has implemented rigorous cleaning protocols throughout the facility, including frequent disinfection of high-touch areas and the use of approved cleaning products.
  • Physical Distancing: We have reconfigured our classrooms and common areas to facilitate proper physical distancing among students and staff. Signage and floor markers are in place to remind everyone of the importance of maintaining distance.
  • Mandatory Face Coverings: In line with prevailing guidelines, we require all individuals on our premises to wear face coverings at all times. Exceptions are made for those with underlying medical conditions.
  • Health Screenings: Temperature checks and health screenings are conducted daily upon entry. Students, staff, and visitors displaying symptoms or fever are advised to stay home and seek medical attention.
  • Hand Hygiene: Frequent handwashing and sanitization are encouraged throughout the day. Hand sanitizing stations have been strategically placed in various areas for easy access.
  • Improved Ventilation: Our HVAC systems have been upgraded to ensure proper ventilation and circulation of fresh air within our premises.
  • Visitor Restrictions: To minimize the risk of exposure, non-essential visitors are currently not allowed on our premises. Virtual meetings and online communication platforms are utilized instead.
  • Training and Education: Our faculty and staff have undergone comprehensive training to effectively implement and enforce the safety protocols. Regular updates and refresher courses are provided to ensure everyone remains informed.

Health and Wellness Initiatives

In addition to the safety measures mentioned above, we have also initiated various health and wellness programs to promote overall well-being among our students and staff. These initiatives include:

  • Physical Activities: We incorporate physical activities and outdoor playtime within the recommended guidelines to encourage exercise and boost overall fitness.
  • Nutritional Guidance: Our cafeteria offers nutritious meals that are designed to meet the dietary needs of growing children. We prioritize fresh ingredients and promote healthy eating habits.
  • Mental Health Support: To address the emotional well-being of our students, we have implemented counseling services and support systems within our educational framework.
  • Hygiene Education: We educate our students about proper hygiene practices, teaching them essential skills such as thorough handwashing and respiratory etiquette.
  • Parental Involvement: We actively involve parents and guardians in our safety protocols and wellness initiatives, fostering a collaborative approach to ensure a safe learning environment for all.

Conclusion

At Community Christian Academy & Preschool, we are dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment where our students can thrive academically, emotionally, and spiritually. Our updated safety protocol, effective from Friday, May 28th, is a testament to our commitment to the well-being of our educational community.
