All students, employees, and visitors will have their temperature taken upon arrival. Those with a temperature in excess of 100.4 will not be allowed to enter the building.  

​

Appropriate face masks, without valves/vents or cloth face coverings must be worn, at all times, by all community members who are inside the building. Masks must be worn over your nose and mouth. It is recommended that each employee or student wear his or her own face covering. Newark Academy will provide a mask to all employees. If a student does not have access to a face mask or cloth covering, Newark Academy will provide the required face mask.

According to CDC guidelines, masks must not have an exhalation valve or vent and all masks should “fit...snugly against the side of your face.”

​

Any writing or images on masks must be similarly school-appropriate, respectful, and avoid bias and/or insensitivity  (see the Bias-Response & Education System and Costume Policy in the online Student and Parent Handbook for additional information).   

​

Plastic face shields will be provided to employees upon their request. Plastic face shields cannot be worn alone and must be worn in conjunction with a face mask or facial covering.

Masks should be worn at all times inside the building (except when eating). It is recommended that students keep an extra mask in a fresh ziplock bag within their backpack.

​

In addition, all students will follow a casual dress code (regular and extended) for the 2020-2021 school year. This will enable students to wear the appropriate clothing during the school day in preparation for physical education. Students will not have access to lockers for physical education classes. For further information, please reference the Student and Parent Handbook.

Families should review the 2020-2021 Student and Parent Handbook on MyNA as it contains policies and procedures to be followed. This handbook will be distributed prior to the start of the fall semester.

Once logged into MyNA, the handbook can be accessed via the Resource Board under Important School Information and in the Reference Guides section.
