Just like everywhere else in Saskatchewan, students of MacLeod Elementary School in Moosomin returned to classes in the first week of September. However, unlike previous years, a few extra precautions were put in place to accommodate the new health and safety protocols.
“One half of our students came on September 8 and the other half began on September 9,” said Erin Skulmoski, Library Technician at MacLeod Elementary School.
Another system put in place to help keep the children safe is the “meet spot.” This is where students meet their teacher at the beginning of the day.
“All MacLeod Elementary School teachers stood on the inside of the track in the child’s classroom meet spot. This meet spot will be used throughout the day as a consistent place for students to line up during recesses and will promote students staying together as a class and social distancing. Each teacher walks their classroom out to this same spot at the end of the day,” said Skulmoski.
At the end of the day the meet spot is also used by parents.
“Parents will wait on the track at end of day when they are picking up their child or children in order to keep all of our students safe,” said Skulmoski.
There is also only one door where students enter the school.
“Students only enter the school through the doors at the back of the school and will need to meet on the track daily. We ask the parents to not drop students off at the front of the school. We have six Safe Drop Zones that we ask parents and students to use. Every time students enter or exit the school they will wash their hands or use hand sanitizer,” said Skulmoski.
Even lunch and play will look different this year as the school tries to make sure that social distancing is adhered to as much as possible.
“Students will remain in their classrooms throughout the day. One half of our students go out at one time to play in their play zone and then the next half will go out once the other classes are back inside. We have a staggered lunch hour,” said Skulmoski.
The only area where some students will have to wear mandatory masks are on the school busses.
“Students in grade four and five will need masks only if they are riding the bus but they will not need to be worn throughout the school day.”
The school will not be open to the public. Parents and guests must call first.
