                                          EMERGENCY PROTOCOL

      Dear Parents / Guardians,

      In response to the possibility of another wave of COVID-19 that would require the closure of Morin
      Heights Elementary School, this Emergency Protocol is our contingency plan which outlines all the
      key actions to be implemented and elements to be considered to ensure continuity of learning for all
      students.

      This plan is intended to provide all stakeholders with a list of elements that we will considered in order
      to be able to react quickly to change that may result from a new state of emergency. It allows for the
      planning of additional actions beyond the measures already implemented in accordance with
      guidelines from the public health authorities.

      Morin Heights Elementary will be using Google Classroom and Mozaik Portail Parents as the main
      communication platforms for all parents to connect with their child’s teachers. All communications
      coming from the school administration will be sent through our school website, Facebook and Mozaik
      Portail Parents (email).

      In the event of a school closure, the administration will remain available to you through phone or email:

      Ms. Bond, principal: vbond@swlauriersb.qc.ca 450-226-2017 x6210

      In the event of a second confinement, Morin Heights Elementary will quickly shift to mandatory
      distance learning. The school will provide each parent/guardian with a schedule identifying the
      detailed information for all online classes.

EVALUATION
    Alternate methods for the evaluation of learning will be used. Teachers will collaborate (sharing resources
     and strategies) to best evaluate the students.
    Formative assessment of student learning via teacher observations.
    Summative assessments through the electronic submission of student work, teacher will render
     summative assessment.
    Using various digital platforms for submission of material (pictures or scans of student artwork/math
     activities, google doc submissions, word doc submissions, etc.).
    Differentiated tutorials created and available for all teaching students for various platforms being used.
    Teachers will consider students’ IEPs for evaluation purposes.
    Evaluation of learning ponderation will be respected.

SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
The resource team and attendants, in collaboration with the classroom teachers, will continue to provide the
regularly scheduled classroom support to their assigned students. In addition, the resource teachers will
communicate their weekly availability to respond to student’s needs (as per the MEES chart above).

SUPPORT WITH REGARD TO MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL BEING

In order to support student wellness, homeroom teachers will schedule one block per week dedicated to
providing students with an opportunity to share their feelings and concerns with their classmates and teachers.
This, in turn, will allow teachers to identify students who may need additional professional support.

The physical education team will offer opportunities for students to move and use different strategies in order to
develop and maintain a healthy balance of mental, social/emotional and physical well-being.

                                                                                                         Page I 4
