      • Daily cleaning
      • Touch-free water bottle-filling stations instead of water fountains
      • Hand sanitizing stations, touch-free faucets throughout the building
    • Reduced density: small numbers of students: less than 10 students per classroom

      • Masks optional (at this time, this could be revised based on CDC and Virginia Department of Health guidance).
