Lone Tree Elementary
Learning Center
Learning Center Overview
The AUSD Learning Center is a program that directly support the needs of students who may benefit from being in a school setting while accessing their online instruction. Learning centers are designed to offer students a place to get support accessing virtual academic classes Tuesday through Friday. During Learning center hours, students will attend all live classes with their general education teacher as well as any other live classes/meetings such as: PE, music, Intervention, speech, resource, OT, counseling, EL, reading, etc. Students will continue to follow their asyncronous Monday schedule.
Students will be in classrooms of no more than twenty, with adult supervision in order to engage in their distance learning. Learning center staff will coordinate and manage the center for students. If issues arise, staff will work with the administrator in charge to resolve them.
Students will bring a laptop, charger, and headphones so they can participate in distance learning via
Microsoft Teams. Adult supervisory staff will assist students in connecting to the Internet and using their laptop. They can provide other learning support as needed.

Safety Protocols
Parent and Student Commitments:
As AUSD prepares to welcome back students in learning centers, we continue to monitor safety
requirements and recommendations from the Contra Costa County Health Officer and have developed protocols and processes to help ensure the safety of our students and staff. The safety of our students and staff remains our primary focus. Any person entering District property or attending District sponsored activities must follow all safety protocols. These protocols may change and evolve as the District continues to receive new information from local, state and federal authorities.
Students must arrive and be picked up on time. They must bring their devices and any learning materials necessary for each day. Parents will be called for immediate pick up if a student is ill or if they do not follow safety protocols and learning center expectations. Students who are sent home for inappropriate behavior three times will be removed from the learning center for the remainder of the year. Students may also be removed from the learning center if they arrive late or are picked up late more than three times. Students who are transported by bus will be contacted by AUSD transportation services on pick-up and drop-off times. Parents/Guardians of students who are walking will need to fill out a walking permission slip in the office.
Safety Precautions:
Site administrators will ensure the following:
• Staff will take student temperatures upon arrival. If a student has a temperature that exceeds 100.4, he/she will be sent home and will not be able to participate in the Hub until such time as she/he has been fever-free for at least 24 hours without fever-reducing medication. Parents are not permitted to walk students to class.
• Students and staff shall wear masks at all times. Masks will be provided for any student who arrives on campus without one.
• Each student workstation will have plastic desktop guards. • Hand sanitizer will be provided in every learning center

• Students should bring their own water each day. A reusable water bottle will be provided upon request.
• Students who have a health condition that requires medication to be taken at school will need a medication form on file. Please check in to the office to complete one.
• Students displaying any signs of illness must stay home. Families should contact the school’s office staff to notify them of any absences. Students who become ill during their time in the learning
center will be taken to a wellness room and parents will be notified for immediate pickup. • Cleaning services – classrooms will be disinfected daily. Bathrooms will be disinfected at regular
