NOTE: Due to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) guidance issued, FlipSide has implemented policies, procedures and best practices to help ensure the safety of our community in response to COVID-19.
Please be aware, until future notification:
-
- It is completely optional for participants, staff, volunteers, and parents in our program to wear a fitted face mask.
-
- All participants, volunteers, and staff are required to undergo daily health screenings, including hand washing and symptom questions.
-
- Please DO NOT send any children to class who have had direct exposure to Covid-19, or who are showing any symptoms of illness.
-
- If you discover that your child has had direct exposure to Covid-19, please let the staff know and if they’ve been in class and have since developed ANY symptoms.
What additional steps are being taken to protect students from COVID-19?
FlipSide is committed to offering safe and engaging camps and classes that are an essential enrichment activity for school-aged youth. Because of this, we are working in tandem with other organizations, adhering to state mandates and observing communicable disease management policies.
In addition, we have instituted the following policies, as per the OHA operating guidelines:
-
- All indoor classes, camps, and FlipSide Pods will be limited to consistent students.
-
- We currently do not have drop in classes
-
- All students and coaches are expected to wash their hands upon entry, before/after eating, after sneezing or coughing, and before leaving the gym.
-
- If your child is feeling sick, please let us know immediately if they test positive for Covid-19. Partial credit may be issued for students who have tested positive for Covid-19 and are required to miss camp in order to quarantine.
-
- All participants (including instructors) on OVERNIGHT CAMPS are strongly encouraged to monitor for Covid-19 symptoms for the 5 days leading up to the first day of camp. It is requested they pass a negative Covid test 2-4 days prior to the first day of camp.
With all that said, each household and family situation has different circumstances so if YOU feel you cannot comply with these new policies or are hesitant to have your child congregate in a small group, please do not sign up for a camp or class with us this session. Families enroll their children at their own risk.
We cannot guarantee a class/circle/camp will happen; We cannot guarantee the absence of COVID-19. We can only do our best to create the safest experience possible. Thank you for your patience as we all navigate this new normal.
