COVID-19 Policies and Procedures
Last Updated: March 6, 2022
Cleaning Procedures and Products - Regular Cleaning - Surfaces and frequently touched objects will be regularly cleaned with EPA-registered household disinfectants. (e.g., doorknobs, light switches, sink handles, countertops).
Face Coverings - Masks are optional. If you would prefer for your teacher to wear a mask in your private lesson, our faculty are happy to do so. Please email Rachel Osterhouse at [email protected] to make that request.
Positive Case/Isolation - Individuals who test positive for COVID are required to isolate and should wear a mask when returning from isolation as indicated in the guidelines. Please refer to the CDC guideline regarding isolation time.
Quarantine - The IDOH no longer recommends identifying or quarantining close contacts regardless of vaccination status. Individuals should shelf monitor for symptoms in the event of an exposure. ISA will inform families in the event of a positive COVID case in a class or private lesson.
Screening - Each family and faculty member is responsible for monitoring if they have COVID-like symptoms.
Sickness Reporting Protocol - Any member of the ISA community (employee, student, family member) is asked to report any confirmed COVID case to ISA’s COVID coordinator, Rachel Osterhouse, via email at [email protected].
Social Distancing - Social distancing is no longer required.
Remote Learning for Students - In the instance that an enrolled family is required to self isolate or be excluded from the physical ISA environment, lessons will continue online. The ISA Attendance at Private Lessons/Missed Lessons Policy remains intact with regard to student make ups, teacher cancellations, and teacher illness/personal days (as outlined in ISA Parent Guidebook).
Remote Work for Employees - If an employee is required to isolate or quarantine, the employee is encouraged to continue lessons remotely. If the employee is unable to provide lessons online, ISA will continue regular compensation for any scheduled work lost during that time (up to a 14 calendar day period). Leave beyond 14 days will be subject to standard faculty attendance policies. Exceptional circumstances may be considered by the BOD. Faculty will not be penalized for additional missed work beyond 14 days due to COVID-19.
