WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU RETURN TO CAMPUS
For those students who choose to come back to campus. Things will look a bit different. Check out the short video above for a visual look at the differences.

Here are the highlights:
 
  1. Schedule sent by team teachers

  2. Designated entrances to check-in 

  • 9th-grade fishbowl

  • 10th grade near the classroom

  • 11th-grade front entrance 

  • 12th grade back of the building near classrooms 

 
  1. CHECK-IN using welfie.com everyday (see below for how to use welfie.com)

  2. When you enter the building, a teacher will check your temperature and ask to see your confirmation from welfie.com

  3. Each student should bring a mask and school supplies. Every student will receive an HTH PPE kit on their first day.

  4. Students must stay with their stable groups during the day and remain socially distanced

  5. BATHROOM - each stable group will have bathroom passes available. Hang the pass on the hook outside the restroom before entering, if all the hooks are full, the bathroom is at capacity and you will need to wait in line outside until someone leaves the bathroom. 

  6. Water refill stations are available. Drinking fountains are NOT. Bring a refillable water bottle with you to school. 

  7. When waiting for the refill station or bathroom, pay attention to the marks on the ground so that you remain 6 feet away from your peers.

  8. When you see friends on campus, say hi, but please keep your distance. 

  9. LUNCH - Liberty Station is NOT open to students during lunch. Students will eat lunch with their stable group and teacher. There are school-provided lunches available. Students may also bring their own lunch. Most teachers will have a microwave available, but you will need to confirm with your teacher. 

  10. Students will be working outside, please bring sunscreen and a hat

We recognize that transportation may be an issue for our Point Loma campus families as students return to campus, so a group of parents has coordinated a carpool survey This is not school-sponsored coordination. But if you are interested in forming a carpool, please fill out this survey and the group will help make those connections.
