Holy Trinity High School Re-Entry Plan 2020-2021
Welcome back to school! We have missed our students and look forward to re-connecting with you. To start the new school year safely, the following items will help everyone transition back. If you have any questions, our school administration team is very glad to assist you.
At Holy Trinity High School, all students will belong to one classroom cohort in the morning (Block 1) and a second cohort in the afternoon (Block 2). Each cohort will likely be composed of different students.
Parent pick up and drop off practices
Parents can pick up and drop off students utilizing the main parking lot area. The sidewalks along the service road on the North side of the building are to be used by students to gain access to the building doors.
COVID-19 signage on entrances
All school doors will have COVID-19 signs posted to indicate that anyone with symptoms cannot enter the school.
Please do not enter and self isolate immediately, if you:
1. Have a fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing. 2. Have travelled outside of Canada within the last 14 days.
3. Have been in contact with a person who tested positive for COVID - 19
Daily Wellness Check
Prior to leaving your home, please conduct a personal wellness check. Please check for the following symptoms:
1. Have a fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing. 2. Have travelled outside of Canada within the last 14 days.
3. Have been in contact with a person who tested positive for COVID - 19
If you are not feeling well, you must stay home. If you are at school and become ill, your parent will be contacted for you to be picked up. A room has been set aside for you to be isolated until such time as your parent arrives at the school.
Entry processes
Upon entry to the school, all staff, students, parents, and visitors must wear a mask/face covering and sanitize their hands. Parent/visitor access to the building is by appointment only and must complete the Alberta Health daily check list before they enter the school. If a visitor answers yes to any of the
questions, the individual will not be permitted into the school. Holy Trinity High School is undergoing a major modernization. We are utilizing 2 doors for entry and exit of the building.

Student Responsibilities
We expect students to take personal responsibility to ensure they arrive for class on time so they maximize learning time and reduce safety risks. Students who are late jeopardize collective efforts to ensure safety and uphold cohort/ campus groupings. Please refer to the student code of conduct document found on our website for additional student expectations.
Hand sanitizer and hand washing
Traffic flow within the school
Schools will use a variety of visual cues (posters and arrow/standing-dot floor markers) to help students maintain physical distancing within the school.
Lockers
No lockers are being issued at this time to minimize distancing. Students will always keep personal belongings with them.
A quarterly system for 2020–2021
Families will be able to decide, at four key times throughout the school year, whether their child will attend school in person or choose to learn at home through online instruction. To offer this choice, we are organizing the school year into four instructional quarters (two-month periods of learning).
● Quarter 1: September 2 to November 9 ● Quarter 2: November 10 to January 29 ● Quarter 3: February 1 to April 20 ● Quarter 4: April 21 to June 29
Assigned seating in classrooms
Students will follow assigned seating plans throughout the day in the classroom, including the eating of lunch. Assigned seating is a strategy to mitigate the potential spread of COVID-19 throughout a cohort of students and also allow for contract tracing should the need arise.
Washroom protocols
Washrooms will be cleaned and disinfected several times throughout the day. There will be a maximum number of students permitted in the washroom at one time.
Water fountains
Students must bring their own water bottle to school. Water-bottle refilling stations are available to students as these units are touchless. Water fountains will be closed off.
Microwaves
Overview
This school year brings with it a unique set of challenges which we will overcome. We have been planning extensively to ensure a safe, engaging, productive and positive school year. Our school is a safe environment in which to learn. See you all soon!
