Fremont County School District #2  

Smart Start Reopening Plan   July 30, 2020  ─

Introduction

This plan has been developed with the guidance of state and local health officials and the Wyoming Department Education, and with reference to guidebooks from several educational and health agencies. It is meant to be a fluid and adaptable document that can adjust as health and education recommendations allow. Our primary strategies will be:

○ Reliance on cooperation from parents and families for conscientious efforts to screen their children at home before school and keep them home when symptomatic.

○ Health screening and illness protocols for both staff and students. ○ Frequent cleaning of buildings, classrooms, shared spaces and

equipment. ○ Frequent hand washing and sanitizing of shared equipment by all staff and

students. ○ Social distancing at all times in all areas and face coverings when social

distancing is not possible by all staff and students.

While we have worked hard at FCSD #2 to anticipate as many factors as possible, we know that there will be considerations that we inadvertently missed. We also recognize that this has been a trying and emotional time for our families, staff and community. When we return to school this fall our success will be determined by how well we listen, learn, adapt and support each other.
