The highest priority is to keep students and staff safe while attending Launch. The plans for safe operations of Launch include:
- daily health screening questionnaire before arrival at Launch;
- organizing students in cohorts for the Launch day including lunch and breaks;
- modified classrooms set up for social distancing;
- barriers (‘windshields’) on student desktops;
- focus on hand washing, sanitizing and hygiene practices;
- masks required for students when moving around the facility;
- masks for all staff;
- plexiglass barriers for teachers;
- plexiglass barriers in the kitchen and BLC workspaces;
- staff training in health & safety;
- limiting entry to Launch to essential visitors only.
