INTRODUCTION:

In response to the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic, each business or entity in

NYS, including those that have been designated as essential under Empire State

Development's Essential Business Guidance, must develop a written Safety Plan

outlining how its workplace will prevent the spread of COVID-19. This plan does

not need to be submitted to a state agency for approval, but must be retained

on the business website and made available to the New York State Department

of Health (DOH) or local health or safety authorities in the event of an

inspection.

On June 5, 2020, Executive Order 202.37 was issued that allowed for special

education services and instruction required by Federal, state or local laws,

rules or regulations to be provided in person, or a hybrid model of in-person

and virtual, for the fall term in school districts and charter schools. A school

district may request a student receive special education services at an

independent school. If an independent school chooses to provide such

special education services at the request of a school district, such

independent school must adhere to all safety guidelines herein applicable to

the school district.

In order to enhance safety measures for students, employee, and visitors at

our facilities and to comply with pandemic mandates issued by New York

State, Pinnacle has instituted a NYS Forward COVID-19 Safety Reopening Plan.

This document sets forth practices, protocols, and procedures as prescribed by

NYS and adapted to apply to Pinnacle operations.

Pinnacle has developed a reopening plan through correspondence with Oswego

County Health Department, Mexico School District, Fulton School District,

Central Square School District, as well as, Pinnacle administrators, faculty and

parents.

2. Drop off times/Pick up times will be staggered for Parent drop off. Exact times will be coordinated between Pinnacle and parents. Parents bringing their child to school will be required to drop their child off at a designated area. Parent and child will be required to remain in the vehicle until a designated Pinnacle employee comes to get the child.

SOCIAL DISTANCING

physical distancing requirements, Pinnacle will do the following:

1. Require 6 ft. Distance Between Individuals unless the safety or the

core activity (ie, instruction) requires a shorter distance. Any time

employees or visitors must come within 6 ft. of another person,

acceptable face coverings must be worn (ensuring that mouth and nose

are covered), whenever the individual is over the age of two and

medically/emotionally able to tolerate such covering. Individuals must

be prepared to don a face covering if another person unexpectedly

comes within 6 ft. If the individual doesn’t have a face covering, one

will be provided by Pinnacle. Encourage, but not require students to

wear face coverings whenever they are within six feet of other students

and teacher.

2. Reduce Interpersonal Contact and Congregation

possible.

b. Limit gatherings, events, and activities to those that can

maintain social distancing, support proper hand hygiene, and

restrict group size.

required in accordance with workforce limitation guidelines in effect for

12

c. Implement a “clean-desk” policy, so that non-essential items are stored in enclosed cabinets or drawers, rather than on desks (helps avoid excessive shared touching, aids cleaning and protects items from damage during disinfecting processes).

5. Shared Work & Common Areas: Limit use of shared common areas.

a. Serve meals or snacks in classrooms instead of cafeteria

b. Limit use of shared workstations (e.g. “hot-desks”) whenever possible.

c. When not possible to avoid, clean and disinfect between

13

d. Parents will be reminded on a regular basis not to put a

sick child on the bus.

e. Parents should not send their child on the bus if any of the

Screening questions can be answered “Yes” for the child or

an immediate family member. If a child or family member

would answer “Yes” to any of these questions, the parent

is encouraged to call the Administrator to discuss.

f. Pinnacle staff will be responsible for meeting children from

their specific classroom at the bus or parent transport.

This will reduce the number of contacts that a child had

during a day.
