General

  • Applicable local, state and federal rules will be followed

  • Each student and staff member will be provided with one reusable PLTC mask. These masks are not guaranteed to prevent COVID-19 or any other disease. If students or staff need additional PLTC masks, they can be purchased.

  • As of this writing, masks will not be required throughout the building but are encouraged. Some classrooms/offices may have a mask request in place. If so, there will be a sign on the door stating the mask request. We ask that all staff and students abide by mask requests in classrooms.

  • Social distancing will be encouraged. All classrooms have students 4-6 feet from each other and more than 6 feet from the front of the classroom.

Arrival

  • Students will be screened before entry. Any student with a fever of over 100 or other symptoms as guided by the health department will be placed in a holding area for a parent to come and get them. They will be masked during their time in the building.

  • Visitors will be screened before entry as well. Limited visitors will be allowed. 

Break Times

  • Classes will follow a break schedule (to be provided later)

  • The class will come to the break area, purchase any food and then return to class.

  • Instructors will spray a provided sanitizer over the snack/soda machines after the last student has used the machine

  • Custodial/Maintenance crew will do a full sanitize/clean after all breaks have completed

Departure

  • Departure will be as normal but students will be asked to maintain social distancing.

  • If there are issues with waiting for buses, we will address those as they arrive.

Assemblies/Large Events/Field Trips/Internships

  • At this time, we will not have any all school assemblies or large events except for open house. Open house will be limited to one family per classroom at a time.

  • Field trips will be handled on a case-by-case basis as some field trips are required for our program.s

  • Internships for students will be allowed at this time

In-Person vs. Virtual Learning

  • Due to the hands-on nature of the PLTC programs, PLTC will not be offering a virtual only option at this time. 

  • We may utilize a A/B day schedule if required by the health department

Student or Staff COVID Related Illness

  • Each situation will be handled on a case-by-case basis with guidance from the health department.

Student Driving

  • Any student desiring to drive MUST have the proper paperwork filled out and approved by the sending school principal. Just because a student is choosing a virtual option at the high school does not change this requirement.
