STEAMwhiz’s Proactive COVID-19 Plan
Make-ups, Shutdowns, and Prorating
Winter Session 2021 has two-weeks built in exclusively for make-ups.
- February Break Make-up
- 2nd week of April Make-up
We will work with you on a case-by-case basis to arrange the make-up times and days. In the unlikely chance we are not able to make up the day, we will prorate the days no questions asked =)
In the event of a shutdown, don’t worry we have a plan in place for that as well. We will offer a combination of live streaming and pre-recorded lab sessions with creative, multi-media content to keep our STEAMwhiz kids discovering, thinking, and creating at home, all while having fun with serious science. Hands-on materials will be checked out via contactless pick-up for these labs.
Lab Policy for Sick Children
Let’s face it, we are going to have sniffles, sneezing, etc. Normal, common-sense policies will apply. If your child is sick help them get better at home and don’t worry about the lab. We will make sure they make them up! Once they are recovered–masks, social distancing, handwashing, dedicated HVAC w/high-level filtration, nightly UV-C lab sanitation, hard-surface wipe downs, temperature checks, etc. will continue to keep the lab safe.
If your child is sick
If your child develops new symptoms here are our guidelines:
- Let us know that your child is sick
- Then do one of the following:
Wait the 10 day COVID-19 quarantine time prescribed by the CDC
— OR —
Have your child tested at a local COVID-19 test sites
In the event your child(ren)’s school, classroom, or building is placed on pre-cautionary quarantine, please contact us as soon as possible, adhere to the pre-cautionary quarantine regulations, and we will work with you to make-up any missed labs.
Together we can keep a safe environment for our kids to learn during these trying times.
