• Community Heath
Springwood Wildcats Reunited 10We Believe
We believe that we can reduce the risk of transmission of the
virus within our school community if we me5culously follow
appropriate Springwood School protocols based on the 4 C’s
when we are together on campus. The following plan reflects the
protocols that we believe are founda5onal for establishing
healthier campus-wide community during the COVID-19 Era.

Clean Hands
Hand washing: Essential to reduce virus transmissions
• Hand washing frequently (every 2 hours) is beSer than infrequently
✴ 20 second, soapy, vigorous hand washing multiple times daily
• Hand washing is beSer than hand sani5zer
✴ Use hand sanitizer when entering a room, handling equipment or commonly used
handles or faucets, or when hand washing is not available
• Hand sani5zer is beSer than no hand treatment
SWS Clean Hands Protocol
• Hand washing is to kill and remove the virus from hands which are a primary transmiSer of the virus when you
touch your mouth, nose and or eyes
• Students will wash their hands mul5ple 5mes during the school day
• Teachers will facilitate scheduled hand washing 5mes throughout the day. (Arriving on campus, aYer using
the rest rooms, mid-morning, before and aYer snacks and lunch, mid-aYernoon and before leaving school)
• Each classroom on campus has a sink for hand washing except the three rooms on the right side of the high
school and Music room in the FAC. Temporary hand washing sta5ons will be located in the back of the high
school and outside of music room in the FA
• Use hand sani5zer whenever hand washing is not available (Entering room, handling equipment or touching
commonly used handles or faucets

2020-21 School Year
• Back to Familiar: No Normal
• In-Person, On-Campus Classes
• Keep Educational Process Advancing
• Community Heath
• Local Focus
Springwood Wildcats Reunited 20LOCAL FOCUS
Our approach to dealing with COVID-19 will be unique to our campus
A primary focus for our health protocol addresses reducing the risk of Aerosols (small microscopic
water molecules) which are currently believed to be a primary way the virus is transmi;ed. We are
targe>ng mi>ga>ng Aerosols with the following local procedures.
• Individually Air Condi5oned Rooms
✓ Each classroom on the SWS Campus has individual Air Condi5oning units
✓ Only outside classroom doors located in each classroom will be uses for entry and exit
✓ When individual Classrooms are using their AC units, the outside doors will remain open to create a draY
which causes the Aerosols to drop and not circulate in the room
• Central Air-condi5oned Rooms
✓ There will be no access to central hallways and common areas in the Elementary, FAC, Media Center and
High School building because they are served by central air condi5oned units
‣ The only excep5ons will be to access
- rest rooms
- offices only accessible through an internal hallway, or
- The few classes held in the High School commons due to physical distance requirements
✓ The Gymnasium will also remain off limits because of aerosols remaining in the air because of lack of air
circula5on to reduce the aerosols hanging in the air.
Springwood Wildcats Reunited 21LOCAL FOCUS
Our approach to dealing with COVID-19 will be unique to our campus and will focus on further
reduc=on of aerosols by…
• Masks worn at all 5mes indoors
• 6’ Physical Distancing of desks in classrooms
• Holding as many ac5vi5es as possible outdoors
• Not holding any large gatherings indoors
✓ Suspending of all in-person, in-door mee5ngs including but not limited to Sessions, Pep
Rallies, Faculty and Staff mee5ngs and other academic func5ons and/or celebra5ons
✓ Large group mee5ngs and gatherings will occur virtually whenever possible.
• Clustering students in grades K4-7 in Cohorts of self-contained classrooms
✓ The Self-contained “Cohort” class will learn together, eat together, play together, have
restroom breaks scheduled together
✓ Specials teachers (Music, Art, PE, Academic Support) come to each cohort classroom or are
led virtually rather than having students move to a specials classroom.
The self-contained Cohort classrooms enable the school to handle each cohort separately when it
comes to QUARANTINE for exposures or ISOLATION because of individual contrac>ons of the virus or
when necessary to suspended on-campus classes for virtual classrooms due to COVID-19.

Springwood Wildcats Reunited 24Extracurricular Activities
Springwood School is a member of the Alabama Independent School Association (AISA) the Georgia Independent School Association (GISA), is dual accredited by
Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS), networks extensively with the Association for the Advancement of International Education (AAIE) and
competes in Interscholastically in the AISA.
During the COVID-19 Era these Associations have been key to understanding the issues facing K-12 Education and how to address the Pandemic from an
educational, health and operational perspective. The wisdom and guidance of these Associations have played a key role in providing input into the Springwood
School Operational plan,
AISA Academic Competitions
Due to issues surrounding Covid-19, the AISA Activities Council determined that the most appropriate course of action for the 2020-21 school year was to suspend
all academic programs for the academic calendar year that require in-person student participation. The State Art Show and Spring SGA Convention are unchanged
at this time and they will be re-evaluated at a later date.
Fine Arts
There are concerns for vocal, instrumental and preforming arts related to COVID-19 transmission caused by projection of aerosols related to vocal and instrumental
performances. Physical distancing, masks and outdoor practices and performances will be the norm as long as COVID protocols are necessary. Regional and state
competitions will be held virtually or through video performances until further notice.
Athletics
“There is an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 that exists in any public space where people are present. Specific COVID-19 protocols will be
designated for athletes, coaches, managers and training staff to participate in practices and competitions. While visiting any campus, it needs to be
understood that COVID-19 is a contagious disease and if infected you may exhibit no symptoms or a wide range from mild to severe symptoms and
even death can occur. According to the Centers for Disease Control, senior citizens and persons with underlying conditions are particularly vulnerable.
By visiting a school campus, participants whether players, coaches, support staff and/or spectators voluntarily assume all risks related to the possible
exposure to COVID-19 and agree to adhere to all posted or verbal instructions for the campus you visit to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19.”
Our goal is to provide as safe and healthy environment as possible for our student-athletes to play the sport(s) they love. There will be some
inconveniences that we are not accustom to and challenges along the way, but we must be proactive and flexible.
Springwood Wildcats Reunited 25The following expectations will be

the latest insight and knowledge base provides.
