Visitors are not permitted under HCPSS Infectious Disease Plan. Exceptions are made for emergency services, contractors, and special situations. Facility special visitors will be limited and should occur by scheduled appointment only. No walk-in visitors are permitted. As much as possible, appointments to meet with parents and customers should be accommodated via telephone, video conference, or other suitable technology. When a face-to-face visit is necessary, the school or office must schedule an appointment time with the visitor and follow the following steps:

● Once the visitor has arrived at the building and parked, they must call the school/office to check-in.

● The administrator, or staff member admitting the visitor, must ask the health screening questions listed above as part of the employee self-screening protocol.

● If visitors are suspected to be sick and/or have recently experienced COVID-19 symptoms, they are not permitted to enter the building and must reschedule.

● Visitors who pass the health screening should be instructed to access the building through the front doors or appropriately designated entrance and be greeted by an employee, who will wear a mask, for escort to the appointment. Hand sanitizer should be available for visitor use upon entry.

● Visitors must wear a mask, enter the building alone, and follow social distancing guidelines. Any family members or friends accompanying the visitor will be asked to remain outside or in a vehicle unless otherwise approved by administration. (For ex. baby/small child, meeting with both parents/advocate)

● There will be a table or drop box in the vestibule or front entry hallway to allow parents or others to drop off items for students and/or staff. School administrative staff will provide signage to instruct visitors on the procedures to be followed.
