Cohorting

The primary risk mitigation strategy that is utilized in this plan is cohorting. Students at MVMS are placed in cohorts that we call teams. For ease of explanation, the word “cohort(s)” will be replaced with “team(s)”.

Teams at MVMS are on average around 100 per team. This allows for class sizes to be kept around 25 per classroom. Our A and B Hybrid cohort reduces class sizes to on average 12 students.

Students attend all classes, lunch, and unified arts as a team.

Only exceptions to cohorting are RTI, Spanish, Band, Choir, and Orchestra. In these classes, additional risk mitigation strategies are to be utilized to further prevent exposure.

Teams have a designated location for lunch and recess each day.

Physical Distancing Guidelines

Classroom size - number of students in a normal classroom setting to be capped at 25. Classes over 25 students will have an alternative classroom (library, room with open doors, etc.)

Physical distancing - students/staff that are 3 to 6 feet apart are considered to meet physical distancing guidelines.

Rooms with tables - rooms with tables make meeting physical distancing guidelines a challenge. Tables are to be situated so that students are able to push back from the tables and be 5 to 6 feet apart. When students are sitting directly at the table, a mask is required.

Masks and Face Coverings

Masks or Face Coverings:

Staff: All staff will be required to wear a mask/face coverings. Staff are able to demask if you are working alone in your classroom or office.
Students: mask or face coverings are required for all students at all times unless it is not recommended for medical, developmental, or educational reasons.
The main exemption for educational purposes is if the teacher allows a mask break when students are able to meet social distancing guidelines of 6 feet.
Students are able to demask when six feet distancing is achieved and students are eating, drinking, or actively participating in recess or physical activity.
Mask breaks for students may be provided throughout the day by the teacher if deemed necessary and students are at least six feet apart.

Lockers

Lockers will be assigned by the team and only used if deemed necessary. Students can only be given a pass to go to a locker during first period, flex, and 8th period, and may carry backpacks during the school day.

In order to facilitate this, teams need to ensure they are not asking students to carry home an unreasonable amount of books. When possible, the textbooks should be accessed online.

Unified Arts

Schedule

In a normal year, students in 7th and 8th grade experience the option of four unified arts classes and 6th grade experiences the majority of offerings. The exception to this are students enrolled in Band, Choir, Orchestra, French, Spanish, and RTI. Given the current circumstances, it has been determined that all students who do not take one of the classes have four unified arts offerings during the year. Students that do have one of the above classes will have two unified arts classes in addition to the aforementioned classes.

To further limit the crossing of students and limit the number of students encountered each day by Unified Arts staff, students are to attend the same Unified Art twice a day for an entire quarter. This allows for students to experience the same number Unified Arts in a year while allowing for additional risk mitigation of student cross over. Excluded from this are students in band, orchestra, choir, spanish, french, and RTI. Those students will attend the aforementioned class and one other unified art per quarter.

Teaming allows MVMS to keep the daily schedule largely unchanged. Transition times between classes, lunch, and recess are staggered by team and/or grade level as to limit as much student cross over.
