The PRP will be updated as federal, state, and local guidelines and regulations change. This plan includes recommendations for families and steps the church and our ministry are taking to mitigate COVID-19 contagion.

What are the Health Screening and Symptom Assessment Guidelines?

  • They have been diagnosed with COVID-19.
  • They have exhibited symptoms of COVID-19
  • They have had contact with a person that has or is suspected to have COVID-19 within the past 14 days

What new cleaning procedures and policies are in place?

• All equipment and facilities will be cleaned and sanitized regularly and immediately after each group's use.
• Bathrooms will be cleaned at least twice each day along with high-touch areas and items, such as controls, door handles, elevator panels, railings, etc.
• Persons dropping off and picking up participants will remain in their vehicles.
• Hand sanitizer stations have been increased in Northside Church and participants will wash their hands or use hand sanitizer before activities or eating.

Are you going to require social distancing for classes?

· We recognize that it is difficult to have children maintain social distancing with any regularity. To minimize participant interaction, participants will be grouped by age and experience and remain in those groups and separated from other groups.

Will my child be required to wear a mask?

· Yes, only during transition from the location of pickup to the restroom, water fountain, and during pick up time and exiting the building.

· No, children are not required to wear a mask inside of class.

· Staff, instructors will be required to wear masks at specific times depending on the nature of their work.

 

Thank you for your continued support as we work together to provide a safe and healthy environment for all those who participate in Northside Church Sports & Recreation Ministries. We look forward to seeing you in person soon!
