Niagara Falls High School

Niagara Falls High School Student Access Plan

May / June 2020

Social Distancing and Density Control

• 1755 students at NFHS (not counting C.E.C. students)
• Approximately 85 students entering per two-hour interval (about 4 classrooms worth of students per interval)
• 40 hours total needed = 4 hours per day x 10 days
• Using alpha by school rather than grade-level will increase social distancing

Number of NFHS Students by Last Name (Grades 9 – 12)

Safe Entry Schedule (Based on actual # of students)

Locker Combinations

Students will be reminded via all-calls from May 18^th - May 25^th to have their locker numbers and combinations handy before entering the building. Kelly Maynard will come into the building on May 18^th - 22^nd and May 25^th to answer phone calls and provide this information from PowerSchool to students who call for their locker number and combinations.  Also, all Safety Officers (Doors 1, 2, and 3) will have a copy of locker numbers and locker combinations.  Staff members stationed on each floor will also have locker keys.

Transportation

Due to social distancing concerns related to bussing, transportation must be provided by family.

Safety

Students are required to wear masks while approaching and while in the building.

Garbage bags will be available for students to use upon entering the building.

Gloves will also be available to students upon request.

No guests (parents/ siblings) allowed to accompany students into the building in order to keep the number of people in the building low.

No parents/guardians will be able to substitute for students.  Items remaining after June 9^th will be bagged for pick up.

Entry & Exit

All students will enter the building through either Doors 2 or 3. Students will exit through either the interior doors of the Blue/Yellow or Red/Green Cafeterias.

Musical Instruments

Students will return the instrument that they borrowed from the district to white tables stationed in the hallway between the cafeterias.  Students will put a paper inside the instrument case that contains their first and last name and student I.D. (Possibly manned by Custode?)

Student Materials Left in Classrooms

Students will not be permitted to enter classrooms. Any student items left in classrooms (i.e. a binder, notebook, clothing, etc.) will be bagged and labeled with student names in the Auxiliary gym. Bagged items will be set on tables labeled by student last name for pick up by students on their way out of the building. Any expensive items (i.e. electronic devices, headphones) will also be bagged, stored in the vault, and available for pick up in the Main Office.

Library Books

Students who have signed library books out of the Media Center will return them to collection tables set up outside the entrance door to the LMC. (Possibly manned by Lori Moskaluk?)

Textbook Collection

Any textbooks or other materials teachers issued to students during the year will be left in the student’s locker to be collected and transferred to the Main Gym at a later date for textbook inventory by Textbook Trackers.

Lock Collection

Students will leave their lock hanging inside their locker and leave the locker door open to signify that they are finished.  Cleaners/safety officers can later retrieve the lock and place the tag back on the lock using the classroom teachers roll call list.

Picking up Art Work 

Student art work will be arranged alphabetically by last name on tables in the Main Arena.  Students will be able to pick up their art work as the enter the building on their designated day and those students will be able to exit the building using the Main Arena doors.

Bagging student Items remaining in lockers

Frank Janese and the porters/cleaners will bag up items remaining in the lockers on June 10^th and June 11^th using the locker lists to bag and label them with the student names and locker numbers. 

Supervision

5 Deans, 1 social worker, 1 transition coordinator and 1 Counselor  will be needed May 26^th – June 9^th from 9:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.  to assist with student supervision. Safety Officers will be stationed in the control room and between doors 2 and 3 and the cafeterias to monitor student entry and exit.

Ka-Shara Jordon – 1^st floor, house 1/2 side

Mia Crumpton – 1^st floor, house 3/4 side

Catz – 2^nd floor, house 1/2 side

No more than 20 students will be allowed in one hallway at a time. Staff members supervising each hallway will direct excess students to wait in a socially distant manner in the cross hallways.

Return of remaining student items

Secretaries (Teresa Kurilovitch in House 1, Betty Ivancic in House 2) will come into the building on June 11^th and 12^th from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. to call students who have bags waiting for them.   Bags will be left at Door 3 for pick up between 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. from June 12^th – 19^th.  Two safety officers will distribute bags using a procedure similar to the paper packet distribution.

Laptop Collection

Laptop collection will occur June 11 – 19 at NFHS Door 1 between 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

I'm not sure what we want to do for this. My other question is do we need uniform collection or yearbook pick up [CV1]

Would we consider asking for teachers to volunteer for one time slot rather than just using Deans? They  may be happy to come in and see students from a distance... [CV2] [CV2]
