SAFETY PROTOCOLS

The following are some of the protocols we have in place to keep our kids, volunteers, and staff safe while at church. We may make modifications to these protocols as needed for the health and safety of everyone.

CHECK IN PROCESS

1. Kindergarten - 5th grade will be downstairs in their classrooms starting April 11th. Our Early Childhood rooms will be opening on May 16th.
2. Check your child(ren) in at a kiosk downstairs with a stylus pen, and receive name tags for them and your 3-digit claim sticker. Or someone at the check-in desk can assist you.
3. After you receive your child’s nametag, proceed to their classroom with them to check them into their small group.
4. No adult or child should enter the building if any of the following apply: symptoms of any illness, including but not limited to those of COVID-19. Symptoms to watch for: fever, cough, shortness of breath, diarrhea, loss of taste or smell, headache or sore throat. Individuals with a confirmed case of COVID-19 should not enter until after adhering to the recommended quarantine and isolation guidelines.

CLASSROOM SAFETY

• Each classroom is stocked with cleaning supplies and hand sanitizer.
• Our facility is cleaned throughout the week.
• High-touch surfaces are cleaned throughout the morning.
• No food or water will be offered in class, but please have your child bring anything that would be helpful for him/her while in class.
• Water fountains are covered and not in use.
• Masks are required for individuals ages 5-year-old and up.
• If a child develops symptoms of any kind during class, they will not be allowed to stay. The parent/guardian will be paged.

RATIO & SPACE CAPACITY

In order to provide social distancing per child and to follow state guidelines, we have ratio and space limitations in each classroom. We will close classrooms when capacity has been reached.

ILLNESS PROTOCOLS

We will use the following guidelines in response to positive tests or possible exposures. Children, volunteers, and staff with a known positive COVID-19 test may return to Beaverton Christian Church when all three criteria have been met:

1. 10 days have passed since the onset of symptoms
2. Fever free for 48 hours
3. Symptoms have improved

Per CDC guidelines, children, volunteers, and staff will be asked to quarantine for 14 days after a known exposure of COVID-19. This includes living with a family member who has been diagnosed or having direct exposure with an individual (less than 6 feet for greater than 15 minutes) who has been diagnosed. If symptoms do arise during this quarantine time, they will be asked to meet the three criteria above before returning to Beaverton Christian Church.

The plans and protocols mentioned above are subject to change and updated as guidelines and new information becomes available. Thank you for remaining flexible as we navigate uncharted waters and provide the best care for your children. Our priority is your family’s safety, and we will keep you updated and informed.

We know this season is challenging, and we acknowledge this doesn't fit everyone's needs. Please reach out with any questions regarding your family's specific needs. Whether you choose to return to in-person church or continue to participate online, you are making the best decision for your child and family, and we wholeheartedly support you.
