St. Mary's is Prepared

As you know, St. Mary's has refined Digital Learning Day (DLD) protocols that
have served us well when we've had a school closure due to inclement weather.
We've now taken those protocols and adapted them for a school closure that could
run five or more days. While there is no substitute for a student's experience with a teacher and peers in the classrooms and in the halls of SMA, we believe that our Extended Digital Learning Protocol will provide the next best experience in extraordinary situations. The following protocols are currently in place for both short-term and long-term (5 or more days) closures.

Absences
If a student is unable to engage in digital work due to illness or internet disruption, parents/guardians should call 503-228-8306 or email Lisa Thompson at lisa.thompson@smapdx.org . The student will be excused absent in Powerschool for that day. Teachers will provide extensions or exemptions as needed per their usual practice regarding absences.

Internet
If a student does not have regular access to the internet at home, parents/guardians or faculty should notify Liane Rae Assistant Principal of Curriculum Design and Instruction and Brette Doyle IT Director as soon as possible. liane.rae@smapdx.org and brette.doyle@smapdx.org.

CDC's recommendations to prevent the spread of contagious respiratory illnesses, including the coronavirus and flu, are the following:

• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
• Put used tissues directly in a wastebasket.
• Cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve or elbow, not your hands, if you do not have a tissue.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
• Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread this way.
• Try to avoid close contact with sick people and if you are sick, stay home to recover.
