Health and Safety

• Students must quarantine for two weeks if they have traveled to CT or NY from a state with travel restrictions.
• If your student has traveled to a restricted state and plans on attending orientation, they will have to quarantine by 8/14.
• For a full list of restricted states, and for more information regarding travel and quarantine protocols, please click here.

• We will be using the Magnus Mobile app (developed by Magnus Health) for daily student screenings.
• Click here for instructions to download the app to your smartphone or other device.
• The screening questionnaire can be accessed via the button titled “COVID-19”.
• Parents must complete and submit the screening for their child no later than 7:30 a.m. every school day.
  • Once completed, you will receive a message with instructions for your student’s attendance for the day.
• Timely submission of health information is vital so that preparations can be made prior to the start of the school day.
  • Any student who arrives on campus without the screening completed will be asked to remain in their vehicle until screening can be completed. If a student arrives by bus they will be sent to the Health Office until screening can be completed.
    • Please note: For the safety of everyone on campus, we will be instituting a “three-strike” rule. If a student’s screening is not completed more than three times, that student will be asked to convert to distance learning.
• For technical issues with the app, contact Magnus Health support at (877) 461-6831 or service@magnushealthportal.com
• For more information about health protocols on campus, please review an FAQ from the Health Office.
• For student absences, please notify the school by emailing attendance@eaglehill.org, calling the attendance/dismissal hotline at (203) 629-1408, or alerting the school nurse at E.Reid@eaglehill.org or (203) 302-3863.

Everyone on campus must adhere to the following PPE requirements:

• All students and staff must use a face covering that completely covers the nose and mouth when they are inside a school building.
  • Exceptions for students: While eating, drinking, participating in PE, or when students are outside and effectively practicing social distancing.
  • Exceptions for staff: While eating, drinking, when outside and effectively practicing social distancing, or while teaching if properly socially distanced or behind a physical barrier.
  • Eagle Hill will provide a paper surgical mask to students/staff if they have forgotten to bring one.

All staff and students will be educated on practices to be used to prevent the spread of diseases. Faculty will increase supervision of students to ensure adherence to good hygiene protocols. These practices include, but are not limited to:

• Social distancing - remaining six feet apart when feasible. Floor decals will be placed throughout campus as reminders.
• Frequent hand-washing and the use of hand sanitizer.
• Respiratory and cough etiquette.
• Enhanced cleaning/disinfection of surfaces.
• Increased signage reminding students and staff of social distancing, hand washing, and cough etiquette.
• Videos and live demonstrations regarding facial coverings, hand washing, etc are available as-needed through the school nurse.

• With the guidance of our school nurse, any community member that exhibits symptoms consistent with COVID-19 will be directed to an identified “isolation room” (other than the health office).
  • Parents/guardians will be required to pick the student up within 30-60 minutes after isolation begins.
  • Students will remain supervised in the isolation room.
• If any person who has been present in school has a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19, the local health department will be notified immediately.
  • Students and staff will be dismissed from campus for 2-5 days. This initial short-term dismissal allows time for the local health officials to gain a better understanding of the COVID-19 situation impacting the school and allows contact tracing to be conducted.
    • In the event that Eagle Hill needs to conduct contact tracing, three members of the administration have been trained to conduct and assist with this process.
  • Following short-term dismissal, local health officials will help the school determine the appropriate next steps, including whether an extended dismissal duration if needed to stop or slow further spread of COVID-19.
    • If Eagle Hill is dismissed for quarantine, the school will communicate next steps for continuing the educational program through remote learning.
• In the event of other circumstances of exposure, we encourage parents to contact the School nurse, who in conjunction with local health officials, can advise the next course of action.

Please note: Every confirmed case of COVID-19 on campus or suspected contact reported will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the school nurse with the guidance of State and local health officials to determine appropriate response. Eagle Hill will be following the guidelines set by the State of Connecticut as closely as possible.
