District Covid Plan:

Opportunity Statement:   Coolidge Elementary will continue to provide all students with academic, social, and emotional growth opportunities through great teaching and the utilization of our community resources.  We will maintain high expectations for all students, as well as expand our efforts to cultivate a positive school culture that encourages intellectual and social growth.”

COVID Mask Mandate from the Superintendent:  Regulation that will require face coverings to be worn on school property, in school vehicles, and at school-sponsored events regardless of your vaccination status.  We have plenty of masks for adults and students if you have someone who needs a mask. The goal is to help everyone stay healthy. 

As we begin to build relationships with our students and colleagues, please remember every child needs a champion, someone to be glad to see them and excited to hear what they have to say.  You never know how far your influence in a child's life can go, nor do you know what struggles they may be facing in their home life.

SCHOOL SAFE ID - New Dismissal Software

Whale Done to Coach Barton for getting Coolidge our new dismissal program. It will take a day or two to work out kinks, but I feel confident this will help speed up dismissal. With that being said - it will continue to be All Hands on Deck for Dismissal.

Guidelines for Staff - Do’s and Don’ts for Photography & Videography During COVID-19

In the interest of keeping OKCPS’s image consistent with all messaging that is being distributed during the COVID-19 pandemic, we also ask that you please make sure that any photos or videos that will be shared publicly or on social media are a reflection of our values. 

Do:

• Do take photos of special things happening at your campus

• Do use your social media to share important information for families

• Do post “thank yous” to community partners who support your school

• Do make sure everyone in the photo is wearing a mask properly (covering both nose and mouth) If a face shield is worn, a mask needs to be visibly worn under it.

• Do make sure people are spaced out appropriately

• Do take photos outside when possible

• Do closely examine the background and surroundings that may be captured in your photo/video

• Do ensure you have proper permissions to post photos of students and staff

Don’t:

• Don’t take or share photos of people in large groups; don’t gather in large groups

• Don’t take or share photos of people touching (this includes selfies)

• Don’t take or share photos of people out of compliance with OKCPS safety guidelines

OKCPS’ Six-Point Safety Plan outlines a variety of safety protocols that have been put in place to protect our staff, students and families. Any photo or video shared by OKCPS and/or its employees is a direct reflection of the district’s commitment to following safety guidelines. 

If you’re unsure about an image, the Communications Team is more than happy to help review any photos or videos you plan to post. Email us at communications@okcps.org.

Additionally, the OKCPS Social Media Policy (E-07) was updated at the December 7, 2020 board meeting. Staff should review and become familiar with the content of this policy so you are fully aware of the expectations of OKCPS employees as it relates to social media. 

 

In order for OKCPS to protect our reputation and maintain accurate and consistent information, it’s imperative that our employees follow these guidelines.

We appreciate your cooperation.

Beth Harrison

Chief of Communications, Community Relations & Family Engagement
