Physical Distancing and Filiation Practices

Regulations have been made to maintain physical distance in all areas of the school. With the awareness that we are all responsible for the health and safety of both ourselves and those around us, we are expected to carefully follow all physical distancing practices.

• We all must take the right lane while walking on all school grounds and corridors. Physical distancing, routing and security areas were determined and necessary signs were put to these areas.
• All teachers are authorized to make warnings to maintain physical distance regardless of grade level differences.
• Common areas such as sports halls, libraries, high school canteen, etc. can be used as long as the physical distancing practices are followed. Arrangements regarding distancing in all areas have been completed, necessary markings and signs have been made.
• Only students and employees with physical disabilities will be able to use the elevators. In case of compulsory elevator use, the buttons will be pressed with paper towels placed outside the elevator, these paper towels will be thrown into the garbage cans at the exit of the elevator. Only 1 person will use the elevator at once. For instant needs, there are disinfectants in front of the elevators. The elevators are also regularly disinfected within the framework of hygiene and cleaning plans.
• Various areas and/or times have been determined in order to minimize the contact of each level/class with each other in all three schools regarding the usage of the schoolyard. Our primary, middle and high school students will likewise be in special areas allocated to their class or group. These areas have been prepared to control the physical distance and the filiation when necessary and guidance will be given to our students. Different play areas will be designated for the Primary School.
• The common materials used during breaks and physical education lessons will be disinfected before each use.
• All parent meetings and interviews will be conducted online.
• Playing groups in the slide and the imagination workshop areas within the primary school building will not be used.
• Kindergarten students will only use the toilets and sinks in their own classrooms.
• Different toilets have been determined for students in primary and middle schools. In primary school, students will only use toilet cabinets designated for their classes. Students are expected to use only these toilets.

Classroom Arrangement

• Before entering the classrooms and at the end of the lesson, students are required to wash and disinfect their hands. There is a disinfectant in every classroom entrance.
