IN-STUDIO PROTOCOLS:
- All students and everyone ages 2 and over are required to wear face masks that cover their mouth and nose before entering the art studio in accordance with current public health orders while inside the art studio.
- Drop off & pick up of students will be limited to outside the art studio, at our front door. We ask that parents wear a mask during drop off and pick up as well.
- Students and staff are screened for signs of illness before entering the art studio when arriving each day and throughout the day using the guidelines set forth in the Parent Guardian Health Check Handout attached below.
- Parents should also screen their children for signs of illness before drop off each day using the Parent Guardian Health Check Handout attached below. Parents should not bring their child to the art studio if they show any signs of illness or if they answer yes to any questions in the Parent Guardian Health Check Handout.
- If a student or a member of their household is not feeling well, or if a student has been in "close contact" with someone who has tested positive for Covid-19, they should stay home and seek advice from a medical professional (as described in the Parent Guardian Health Check Handout attached below).
- Students, staff, or any person who exhibit signs of illness as outlined in the Parent Guardian Health Check Handout attached below, or who answer "yes" to any of the questions listed in the Parent Guardian Health Check Handout, are not allowed to enter the Creative IQ Art Studio.
- Hand sanitizer is provided upon entering & leaving the studio.
- Frequent hand washing is encouraged and required for both students and staff. Two hand washing stations are provided inside the art studio. Students are asked to wash their hands for at least 20 seconds in between projects as well as when arriving and before leaving.
- Work areas are sectioned 3 feet apart to provide as much space as possible between students.
- Students have a combination of outdoor and indoor activities to allow for as much outdoor time as possible (weather and air quality permitting).

- Only walking field trips to and from Golden Gate Park (2 blocks away) will be allowed.
- The art studio's windows, and doors remain open as much as possible during camp hours for fresh air and ventilation inside the studio (weather and air quality permitting). In addition, the studio runs our built in ventilation fan, window box fan, room heater fan, and plug in air purifier fan to keep air circulating and ventilated.
- Students have snack break time outside in the backyard with seats placed 3-feet apart to help maintain 3-feet of space between students while snacking outdoors.
