TINKER’S COVID HEALTH & SAFTEY PROCEDURES

Please remember: If your child has a runny nose, cough, or other symptom consistent with COVID-19, but has an alternative diagnosis (i.e. allergies, etc), please let their teacher/Tinker staff member know.

COVID PROCEDURES MAY CHANGE OR BE UPDATED at any point:

  • a large portable HEPA air filter purifies the air in our entire studio every 30 minutes (Tinker Art Studio location only)

  • masks are optional for all students and staff. We kindly request wearing a mask if you are symptomatic with any illness to help prevent the spread of germs to others.

  • we provide frequent opportunities for hand washing, and have hand sanitizer stations available in the studio

  • we frequently clean and sanitize high touch surfaces

  • we have commercial cleaners 1x per week for a deep clean of the entire studio (Tinker Art Studio location only)

While we do as much as we can at the studio to mitigate the spread of germs, we also rely on the support of our families to ensure sick students are not in class. We ask that you stay home and/or you keep your child at home if they are ill. Thank you for your support!

  • If you or your child is sick, or exhibiting any symptoms consistent with COVID-19, please keep them home. Symptoms can include: fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea.

  • If your child has a runny nose, cough, or other symptom consistent with COVID-19, but has an alternative diagnosis (i.e. allergies, etc), please let their teacher know.

  • Students should not attend class if they are in the process of COVID testing (i.e. waiting for test results to return) due to being symptomatic.

  • Students with a family member or close contact who has tested positive should wear a face mask.

 

WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO ADHERE TO THE INFORMATION PROVIDED ABOVE, BUT YOU MUST BE COMFORTABLE WITH A GROUP ENVIRONMENT IF YOU CHOOSE TO attend or HAVE YOUR CHILDREN ATTEND IN-PERSON PROGRAMMING AT TINKER. WE UNDERSTAND THIS IS A VERY PERSONAL DECISION TO EACH person/FAMILY.
