Bluestem's 2020-21 COVID Procedures

For the 2020-21 academic year, Bluestem Montessori (and everybody, really) will have to creatively and quickly adapt to changes. The nature of this pandemic is such that we may quickly have to move to a learn-from-home model, as we did in March of 2020. Here is Bluestem’s response plan:

Our response level corresponds to the Lincoln Lancaster County COVID Dial.

If the dial is in GREEN, school will look relatively “normal”. We will used increased cleaning and other health measures with guidance from the CDC, WHO, and our city/county health leaders.

If the dial is YELLOW, we will continue to learn in person with heightened cleaning and distancing measures. All students and staff will be required to wear face masks.

If the dial is ORANGE or RED, we will move to distance learning. This will include daily all-class meetings and regular one-on-one check ins, material distribution, and video lessons. While distancel earning, we preserve the Montessori philosophy even when the exact materials are not available.

If you have further questions about Bluestem’s COVID response, please don’t hesitate to email or call!

Until next time,
