What are the levels that the school would deem as unsafe, and what medical sources would we follow? ]]> 2020-12-08 06:39:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mnorthrop1/vpc6sghmbaj20xn5/wish/997098188 https://padlet.com/mnorthrop1/vpc6sghmbaj20xn5/wish/997099049 Has the school considered and/or received advice regarding potential coverage exclusions contained in insurance policies (meaning that insurance coverage would be denied for liability, employee health, and/or life insurance) if the school does not follow government requirements related to Covid?]]> 2020-12-08 06:40:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mnorthrop1/vpc6sghmbaj20xn5/wish/997099049 https://padlet.com/mnorthrop1/vpc6sghmbaj20xn5/wish/997099803 What are the teaching options for faculty who are immuno-compromised or have family members who are immuno-compromised?]]> 2020-12-08 06:40:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mnorthrop1/vpc6sghmbaj20xn5/wish/997099803 https://padlet.com/mnorthrop1/vpc6sghmbaj20xn5/wish/997100350 How often does the school plan to test the staff/faculty?

Meaning, will Oaks stop offering remote learning in a hybrid model or is that here to stay? There is some talk that this is "the future" of education.]]> 2020-12-08 16:10:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mnorthrop1/vpc6sghmbaj20xn5/wish/998740039 As Christians we are called to submit to government authority, consider others greater than ourselves and love our neighbors. How does opening on Jan 6th in light of state/county guidelines, current stress on the hospital system, and the surge of cases align with God’s word and help us bear faithful witness to His Kingdom by living in obedience, truth, grace and love? https://padlet.com/mnorthrop1/vpc6sghmbaj20xn5/wish/999051283 2020-12-08 17:10:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mnorthrop1/vpc6sghmbaj20xn5/wish/999051283 https://padlet.com/mnorthrop1/vpc6sghmbaj20xn5/wish/999456481 Rob's email to families says, "we want all of our families to feel comfortable."

It was shocking to learn that there were 5 employee cases in the HS by reading the FAQ doc that was sent to HS parents, yet we only received two emails advising everyone of an identified case. https://padlet.com/mnorthrop1/vpc6sghmbaj20xn5/wish/999602222 2020-12-08 18:59:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mnorthrop1/vpc6sghmbaj20xn5/wish/999602222 How should faculty/staff/parents notify the school if they have knowledge of students/families not following safety protocols outside of school?

How are we using this as a tool to have a full re-open of our entire campus? https://padlet.com/mnorthrop1/vpc6sghmbaj20xn5/wish/1004140139 2020-12-09 21:17:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mnorthrop1/vpc6sghmbaj20xn5/wish/1004140139 Will OCS provide us with PPE?

I will not be able to visit or help immunocompromised parents once school has opened. Please take that sacrifice and mental stress into consideration as we plan our actions and administration evaluates our effectiveness.]]> 2020-12-10 22:58:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mnorthrop1/vpc6sghmbaj20xn5/wish/1008294588 Based on the recent school closure due to related COVID cases in students, it seems we are complying with some county rules but not others.
