Our School Mission
The School of the Epiphany is a Catholic, Parochial school serving the
youth of Epiphany Parish and its surrounding areas. We challenge students to achieve educational excellence within a Catholic tradition.
The School of the Epiphany operates in service to Epiphany Parish and in the spirit of the Presentation Sisters.
In collaboration with the San Francisco Department of Public Health and the Archdiocesan Department of Catholic Schools, School of the Epiphany has developed and created the following framework for the reopening of our school building and campus.
This plan will support families through in person learning or distance learning if they chose not to return to school. Our school
mission and School of the Epiphany does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race, color and national and/or ethnic
origin, age, sex or disability in administration of educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and
athletic and other school-administered programs.
This Operations Plan has been updated to reflect the State of California’s COVID-19 Reopening In-Person Instruction Framework and Public Health Guidance for K-12 Schools in California, 2020-2021
School Year issues on January 14, 2021.

General Protocols
Social Distancing
Social distancing is an effective way to prevent potential infection. Employees, students, parents, and visitors should practice staying at least six feet apart from others and eliminating contact with others whenever possible.
Personal Protective Equipment
Face masks will be required by all students and staff. They must be worn at all times.
Handwashing
In addition to using PPE, please remember to:
● Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 30
seconds. Use hand sanitizer with at least 70% alcohol if soap and water are not available
● Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
● Cover your mouth and nose or use the inside of your elbow when you cough or sneeze
Student Protocol and Gatherings
● All gatherings of large groups, including whole school masses and assemblies, are prohibited. Our distance learning practices will serve as a substitute.
● Students will remain with their classmates at all times, including structured recess.
● Any student showing signs of illness will have their temperature taken in the office, and students with a temperature above 100.4 degrees or showing any respiratory symptoms will be isolated and sent home.
● Students will be mindful of the social distancing and health practices in which they are instructed or they will not be allowed on campus.
● Students will have a designated space solely for their use in their classrooms and the extended care space (if applicable).
● Students will not share spaces, supplies, or work in groups (distancing will remain throughout the day). Students will have individual supplies at all times.
● Students will use restrooms at designated times, and no more students will be admitted into a restroom at a time than there are sinks in the restrooms.
Staff Protocols
To help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and reduce the potential risk of exposure to our employees, employees are required to conduct a
self-screening of COVID-19 symptoms and pass a temperature screening on campus entry (a temperature no greater than 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit will be allowable). Staff with notable symptoms while at home will be expected to report them to their supervisor and remain home. Staff experiencing
symptoms may be asked to be tested for COVID-19 before returning to school.
All teachers and students are not to visit another classroom unless absolutely necessary. A login sheet will be used at the entrance of every classroom. Any staff member that enters a classroom must write down their name on the classroom log sheet.
Campus Visitors
The safety of our students and staff is our top priority
● No visitors will be allowed on campus including parents until it is deemed appropriate by The Archdiocese of San Francisco, SFDPH, and School of the Epiphany. The office will be available via phone and email.
● All campus visitors will undergo a health screening. Refusal of health check would result in refusal of entry to the campus.
● Parents may enter campus upon the expressed consent of the school administration, for example picking up a sick child.
● If a student forgets their lunch or other school sites, parents may drop the items at the front door of the school after ringing the security bell.
Office staff or administration will sanitize the items and then be dropped off at the door of the student’s classroom.

At Home Health Screening
If a child has a fever, or any COVID symptom, the requirement is to get tested, or stay out of school for at least 10 days since symptoms began.
Before leaving your home to arrive at school parents and guardians should take their child’s temperature. If the child has a fever, over 100.4*, then the child should not come to school. Also, children showing any of the following
symptoms should not come to school: fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, body aches, headache, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congested or runny nose, nausea/vomiting, and diarrhea.
On Campus Protocols
The School of the Epiphany will be responsible for maintaining all health and safety protocols in all areas of the school, including classrooms and
instructional spaces.
School Entrance Protocol
The School of the Epiphany has created a new system of entering the school building for students during morning drop off.
Students who arrive by car:
All students that arrive by car will pull up to the curb in the white zone on Italy Ave. Students must remain in the car until they are approached by a staff
with EPA approved solution to kill COVID-19
2 minutes
member and undergo a health and temperature check. Students will then be instructed to enter the building through the grade specific entrance.
Students who walk to school:
Students that walk to school will line up in grade specific areas on Italy St.
Social distance at 10ft will be applied in these lines. The sidewalk will be marked with these 10ft foot spaces for students to wait.
Temperature Checks
Before entering the school building, all students must have their temperature checked. If a child has a fever of 100.4* or above, he/she will not be allowed to enter the school building.
Health Screening
Before entering the school building or exiting their car in the white zone, all students (or guardians on behalf of students) must respond to the prescribed health screening. If a student (or guardian on behalf of a student) responds with an affirmative to any of the screening questions, he/she must not enter the school building. Health Screening Questions:
1. Do you or your child live with anyone or have you or your child had close contact with anyone with a prolonged cough, fever, flu-like symptoms or been diagnosed
with COVID-19 within the last 14 days?
2. Do you or your child live with anyone or do you or your child have a fever, cough and/or shortness of breath? For children and adults, fever is 100.4 degrees or above
using a forehead thermometer.
3. Do you or your child live with anyone or do you or your child have any other signs of communicable illness such as a cold, flu, rash or inflammation?
4. Do you or your child live with anyone or have you or your child experienced diarrhea or vomiting (within the past 24 hours)?
Refusal of Health Screening
Refusal of a health check will result in refusal of entry to the campus and school building.
Contacting Tracing
Each staff member and visitor will fill out a form asking for their name, phone number, when they entered the school building, and their estimated departure time. This information will be used if needed for contract tracing but will also serve as a log for those who have been on campus.
Student Cohorts
Student cohort lists will be ready for review by the visiting group from the SFDPH. The list will be kept in the main office. Individual classroom lists will be posted outside each individual classroom for review by the SFDPH.
Stable Student Cohorts
Students will remain in stable cohort groups by grade levels. Students who are participating in school learning are expected to be in school on a daily basis.
Under advice of the SFDPH in order to maintain a stable and healthy cohort environment within our school the following requirement will be followed at School of the Epiphany:
If your child is absent or sick from school they may return to school under any of the following circumstances:
● Medical Note: A medical note from your child’s doctor stating that they have a specific illness that is not COVID (example: strep throat). When the school receives this doctor's note they will be allowed to return to school the following day.
● COVID-19 Test: If the student takes a CODVID19 test that shows they are negative they are allowed to return to school the following day.
● 10 Day Waiting: If the student does not take a COVID 19 test or receive a doctor’s note they will be asked to stay home for a 10 day quarantine period. During this time they will participate in online learning.
Drop Off Maps
Students in grades Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd Grade will enter through the Italy St. door. They will then proceed to the 1st floor of the school via the Italy St. Stairs.
Students in grades 3rd, 4th, and 5th will enter through the Italy St. Convent Doors. They will then proceed to the 2nd floor of the school via the Convent stairwell.
For students that walk to school, a line with 10ft distancing between students will form down Italy St. and then down Naples St for their temperature and health screening.
Students in grades 6th, 7th, and 8th grades will enter the campus through the schoolyard gate on Italy Ave. 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students that are walking to school, will line up along Italy St. and onto Vienna (if needed) for their
temperature and health screening.

J through Q 7:55 am
R through Z 8:05 am
End of the Day Pick Up Schedule
Traditionally, School of the Epiphany has used the white zone area for the car line pickup at the end of the school day. Under these circumstances we will be moving the car line pickup into the schoolyard. No parents or guardians may enter the school yard to pick up their child, only cars may enter the yard. The map below shows the flow of traffic to pick up your child in the yard.
Parents will drive their cars into the yard. At that time they will tell a staff member what student(s) and grade of the student they are there to pick up.
Students will then be directed to the correct car. There will be a staggered dismissal time for car pick up and the dismissal of students who are walking home from school or are being picked up by an adult who is walking.
Students that are walking home independently will leave onto Naples St. via the side door between the church and school
Students that are being picked up by a parent who walks to school will go to their assigned area in the schoolyard. A staff member will then direct the student to their parents. Parents will pick up the student at the gate closest to the church on Vienna St.

Additional signage will be used throughout the school in the hallways, stairwells, inside and outside classrooms, and bathrooms to:
● Direct movement of students and staff to move easily throughout the building. “STAY TO THE RIGHT” will be the term used throughout the school
● Remind students about safe hygienic practices and routines
● Provide reminders and guidance about safe distancing. Stay 6ft apart
● Remind students of closed areas such as water fountains
Social Distancing with the school
When school is in session, all adults and children will enter and exit the
building following marked pathways (see above). A staggered schedule will be used for all aspects of school including arrival, dismissal, recess, and bathroom breaks. This is to ensure social distance protocols and avoid crowding of spaces on campus.
Signage and floor markings have been purchased to indicate the directions of foot traffic in all the hallways and stairwells. Foot traffic will move in two directions, students will follow arrows on the floors to maintain social distancing.
All bathrooms will be marked with occupancy limits throughout the campus and school building. Floor signs will be used outside of all bathrooms for students waiting to use the restrooms. Bathroom doors will remain open at all times.
Teachers and staff will be responsible for instructing their homeroom classes in social distancing while in the classroom and walking around campus. They will be giving explicit reinforcement of hallway walking flow, entrances, exits, and all rules related to safe social distancing.
Outdoor Instruction
The outside schoolyard space will be used for Physical Education classes once a week for each of the homeroom classes.
The yard could possibly accommodate a dedicated outdoor space for a Library classroom. This would be dependent on weather conditions.
Code of Christian Conduct
It shall be an express condition of enrollment that the student behave in a manner, both on and off campus, that is consistent with the Christian
principles of the school as determined by the school in its discretion. These principles include, but are not limited to any policies, principles, or procedures set forth in the student/parent handbook of the school and newly added
policies, principles, or procedures in this Return to School Plan.
Policy for students that do not follow Health and Safety Protocols The school reserves the right to determine, in its discretion, which actions fall short of meeting the Christian principles of the school.
Failure to follow these principles will normally result in verbal or written warning to the student and/or parent/guardian and normally will first result in disciplinary action short of requirement to withdraw from the school (e.g. suspension of student or suspension of
parent/guardian’s privilege to come on campus grounds and/ or participate in parish/ school activities, volunteer work, etc.)
The school reserves the right to determine, in its discretion, when conduct is of such a severe nature as to warrant immediate action without a warning and /or without an intermediate step short of withdrawal.
These rules also apply to students following the Health and Safety Protocols set forth in this plan. If a student does not follow the mask wearing protocols, spacing of 6ft between themselves and another
student, and other protocols they will face the above disciplinary actions.
Rules Regarding Misuse of PPE
All personal items and/or school provided materials must be used
appropriately as delineated in the school handbook. Misuse of items will result in a school/home consequence and reparations made for any materials that are broken or damaged.
Distance Learning
In the event of a school closure due to SFDPH, State of CA, or Archdiocese mandates the school will revert to its Distance Learning program. This plan can be used during a day when the air quality is too poor for students to attend school. This plan/program was mailed to all family members, it is also
available on the schools website at sfepiphany.org
Communication with Parents
School of the Epiphany has posted these Return to School Plans on its website.
We also have the ability without alert system OneCall to email and text all parents at any time. This system can immediately notify parents of any
important information or updates that they school needs to provide to them.
Parent Orientation for Return to School
Parents who are choosing to send their children back to the school building will be required to attend a ZOOM training session on the return to school protocols in this plan. This training would take place on ZOOM and conducted by the principal, Brian Joost.
Staff Training
Staff members will also be trained on the procedures and protocols written in this plan. The training will be conducted by the Principal, Brian Joost, and will take place prior to the reopening of school.
STAFF TESTING FOR COVID 19
The Cluster II/IV Schools for the Archdiocese of San Francisco are working together to have the company, Agile Force COVID-19 Testing, test our staff 1-2 weeks before the possible return date. The teachers would then be tested on a rotational basis with 50% (approximately 10 teachers/staff members) being tested every month. All staff returning to the building for November 9, 2020 in person instruction will be tested on October 26, 2020 by Agile Force COVID-19 Testing. The next testing date will take place on November 23, 2020 with Agile Force COVID-19 Testing. Teachers and staff may also obtain testing through their own health care provider given that results of the test are made available to them within at most 72 hours of their test. All results of teacher and staff testing will be kept on file in the school office and shared with the San
Francisco Department of Public Health Staff may not return to campus until they show a negative test result.
ADDENDUM A: January 21, 2021
Updates to COVID-19 School Operations Plan
January 20, 2021
Face Coverings:
Students in all grade levels K-12 are required to wear face coverings at all times, while at school, unless exempted.
All staff must use face coverings in accordance with CDPH guidelines
● CPDH recommends disposable 3-ply surgical masks, which are more effective than cloth face coverings
● For staff, bandanas, gaiters and similar face coverings are no longer acceptable.
● In limited situations where a face covering cannot be used for pedagogical or developmental reasons, a face shield with a drape can be used as long as the wearer maintains physical distance from others
Classroom Spaces
● Distance teacher and other staff desks 6 feet away from student and other staff desks
● Distance student chairs at least 6 feet away from one another, except where 6 feet of distance is not possible after a
good-faith effort has been made
● Under no circumstances should distance between student
chairs be less than 4 feet
● If 6 feet of distance is not possible, optimize ventilation, use desk partitions, or arrange desks to minimize face-to-face contact
Positive COVID-19 Case
In the event of a positive case, the school will:
1. Schools must adhere to required reporting requirements and notify, as described below, the LHD of any newly reported case of COVID-19 in a student or staff member if the LHD has not yet contacted them about the case,
2. If the case is present at school at the time the school is
notified, the case must go home and be excluded from school for at least 10 days from symptom onset date or, if
asymptomatic, 10 days from the date the specimen was collected for the positive test.
3. Assist LHD in identifying close contacts of the case. Send a notice, developed in collaboration with the LHD, to parents and staff to inform them that a case of COVID-19 in a student or staff member has been reported and that the school will work with the LHD to notify exposed people.
4. Arrange for cleaning and disinfection of the classroom and primary spaces where case spent significant time. This does not need to be done until students and staff in the area have left for the day.
5. Implement online/distance learning for student cases if they are well enough to participate.
Required COVID-19 Reporting
● The school will notify the local health officer of any known
case of COVID-19 among any student or employee who was
present on a campus within the 10 days preceding a positive
test for COVID-19. Specifically, the school shall report the
following information:
○ The full name, address, telephone number, and date of birth of the individual who tested positive;
○ The date the individual tested positive, the school(s) at which the individual was present on-site within the 10 days preceding the positive test, and the date the
individual was last on-site at any relevant school(s); and
○ The full name, address, and telephone number of the person making the report.
● This information shall be reported to the local health officer by telephone within twenty-four hours from the time an individual within the local educational agency or private school is first made aware of a new case.
● The school liaison to the LHD is: Brian Joost
Cluster or Outbreak at SchoolWhen either a school or LHD is aware that an outbreak may be underway, the LHD should investigate, in collaboration with the school, to determine whether these cases had a common exposure at school (e.g., a common class or staff member, bus ride, or other common exposures outside of school). CDPH defines a school outbreak as 3 or more confirmed or probable cases of staff or students occurring within a 14-day period who are
epidemiologically linked in the school, are from different households and are not contacts of each other in any other
investigation cases (e.g., transmission likely occurred in the school setting).
During the investigation, the school will:
1. Notify parents/guardians and school staff of a
cluster/outbreak investigation related to the school and encourage them to follow public health recommendations.
2. Identify, as part of the CSP, one or more school staff member
who can liaise with the LHD regarding the cluster/outbreak
investigation by confirming which classes and stable groups included confirmed cases or symptomatic students and staff members, and if recent events or gatherings involved any cases or symptomatic persons.
3. Identify absenteeism among those in affected classes or stable groups, and coordinate with the LHD to contact these
absentees to screen for symptoms of COVID-19 if they were exposed to a case during the case's infectious period.
4. Coordinate with the LHD to share a line list of cases and contacts with dates present at or absent from school.
5. Arrange for cleaning and disinfection of classrooms or other areas where cases or symptomatic students or staff members spend significant time.
6. Coordinate with the LHD on notifications to the school
community, including specific notifications of stable groups or classrooms regarding their exclusion status and
instructions.
7. Coordinate with the LHD on whether and when the school should be closed and reopened.
8. Notify the school community if the school is to be closed for 14 days due to widespread and/or ongoing transmission of
SARS-CoV2 at the school or in the general community, and repeat recommendations for prevention and control measures (see sample notification #3 in Appendix 2).
9. Implement online/distance teaching and learning during school closure.
10. Arrange for cleaning and disinfection of entire school before reopening in the case of closure.
School Closure Determinations
Individual school closure, in which all students and staff are not on
campus, is recommended based on the number of cases and stable
groups impacted, which suggest that active in-school transmission
is occurring. Closure should be done in consultation with the LHO.
Situations that may indicate the need for school closure:
● Within a 14-day period, an outbreak has occurred in 25% or more stable groups in the school.
● Within a 14-day period, at least three outbreaks have occurred in the school AND more than 5% of the school population is infected.
● The LHO may also determine school closure is warranted for other reasons, including results from public health
investigation or other local epidemiological data.
Length of closure: 14 days, or according to a decision made in consultation with the LHO.
Testing
Symptomatic testing: If a student or employee exhibits COVID-19 symptoms, the individual is sent home (or stays home). Testing for COVID-19 is encouraged. The student or employee can use the
testing sites available on the County’s website or make an appointment to see their medical provider. While waiting for
results, the student or employee will not be able to return to school.
Response testing: If a student or employee is exposed to a confirmed case of COVID-19, the student or staff member is required to quarantine for 10 days. Testing for COVID-19 is encouraged. The student or employee can use the testing sites available on the County’s website or make an appointment to see their medical provider.
Asymptomatic testing: Employees participate in asymptomatic
testing. The school has established a schedule for testing so that
employees are tested once every two months. The employees use
the testing sites available on the County’s website.
Travel Requirements
The State of California has updated its travel policy with the following provisions:
● Non-essential travel (for recreational purposes) should be limited to 120 miles from the person’s home.
● Californians who travel outside the state or the country must quarantine for 10 days upon their return to California.
● Visitors to California from other states and countries must also quarantine for 10 days upon their entry into California.
With this in mind, please limit recreational travel to no more than 120 miles from your home. If you must travel outside of California or outside of the United States, you will need to quarantine for 10 days upon your return to California.
This plan was developed in conjunction with the Department of Catholic School of the Archdiocese of
San Francisco. This plan is subject to change.
School of the Epiphany administration, leadership team, faculty, and staff will continually review and adjust this plan according to the needs of the school,
directives from the Archdiocese of San Francisco, mandates from the SFDPH and State of CA.
