Protective Measure Guidelines 

All Saints will continue to follow and adhere to any capacity guidelines and recommendations of Green Lake County to promote the social distancing of 6 ft as much as possible in all areas of the Church Complex. All Saints will provide an agreement form for parents to sign to pledge their compliance to the following guidelines to ensure the safety of all who will be attending:

  • Children’s Personal Health Check: Parents bringing children to RE should check the temperature of children daily before they attend any faith formation event. If children have any symptoms of sickness (temperature, cough, runny nose, vomiting or diarrhea), they are not permitted to attend the event on that day. Children should be symptom free without medicine for 24 hours before returning to the parish.

Children’s Personal Health Check: Children coming directly from school off the bus to RE will have a temperature check as they exit the bus, before they attend any faith formation event. If children have any symptoms of sickness (temperature, cough, runny nose, vomiting or diarrhea), they are not permitted to attend the event on that day and a parent will be called to come pick up their child immediately. Children will wait in a separate designated space off the gathering area of the social hall. Once parents arrive, the child will be permitted to leave. Children should be symptom free without medicine for 24 hours before returning to the parish. 

  • Adult Participants/Catechists/Adult Volunteers Health Check: Catechists, adult participants and volunteers who assist in catechetical programming should take a daily temperature of themselves before attending formation at the parish. If adults have any symptoms of sickness (temperature, cough, runny nose, vomiting, or diarrhea), they are not permitted to attend an event on that day. Adults should be symptom free without medicine for 24 hours before returning to the parish.  
  • Catechists/Adult Volunteers will give reminders at the beginning of each class to ensure proper social distancing. In each space of the church complex used, markings will be placed on the floor and/or seating will be arranged to indicate where students will sit/stand with appropriate space between each person (6 feet to the greatest extent possible). 
  • Masking: Masking is required at this time (until September 28) in the State of Wisconsin according to a statewide mandate issued by Governor Evers for all individuals who are age 5 and up. Those who are unable to wear a face covering for reasons of health, such as difficulty breathing, are exempt from the order, but they should keep socially distant (6 feet to the greatest extent possible) while attending faith formation. We ask that parents provide masks for their children and should have it with them at all times. The parish/diocese will not provide masks for children/adults/catechists participating in faith formation programs. 

 

  • Signage: All Saints will have social-distancing, face-masking, and hand-sanitizing signage at appropriate and visible locations posted to ensure compliance with these protective measures.
  • Outdoor play: Children will be permitted outside at times for class. Children will be encouraged to use appropriate social distancing, and hand sanitation when they enter the building. Hand sanitation stations will be located at each entrance of the building and outside of classrooms and bathrooms for students to sanitize their hands frequently as needed. 
  • Games: Games that will be played during formation times will have minimal personal contact and respect social-distancing guidelines. 
  • Classroom/Formation Spaces: Tables, desks, and frequently touched surfaces will be sanitized at the start of each class and in between the next attending class. (ie, K-5th grade sessions and 6-7th grade sessions) Desks and learning spaces will be set up in an arrangement that allows students to be social distanced at 6 feet apart to the greatest extent possible. 
  • Classroom Materials: Each student will have his or her own book and supplies box to use during formation sessions. This will eliminate the sharing of materials to mitigate the passing of germs from one individual to another. 

 

Drop-Off & Pick-Up Procedures: 

Drop off for Grades K-5:

Whether parents drop off or students arrive by bus, we ask that each student is dropped off before class outside the social hall doors. Catechists and adult volunteers will be there to receive your child(ren) as they arrive and take them to their designated classrooms after temperature check. 

Pickup for Grades K-5 – To limit the possibility of congregating, parents will not be permitted to come into the social hall gathering area or classrooms. When class is dismissed, each teacher will bring the students out the social hall doors, curbside. Parents are asked to stay in their cars and line up in the pickup line. As parents slowly drive up to the doors, teachers will help place students in the vehicles and shut the door once the student is in. We ask that parents do not get out of the vehicle – this is to help keep the car line moving. Parents will need to pull forward and off to the side out of the car pick up line route to assist their student with the seatbelt, if needed.
