At Discover Coding, the health and safety of our students and instructors is always our top priority — which is why we are excited to offer in-person programs that follow specific guidelines, in accordance with the Government of Alberta.
Our in-person programs are operating under the following health guidelines:
Student and instructor health checks
- Students and instructors must stay home if they feel ill or exhibit any symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, difficulty breathing, etc.)
- Parents must check their child’s health and complete the required screening questionnaire each morning
- In the event a child does not satisfy these health checks, the child must stay at home for the safety of everyone at camp
- Instructors ask students to check their health each morning and actively symptom screen students
- Every instructor checks their health prior to coming to work each day
Masks and facial coverings
- All instructors must wear masks
- Students must wear masks
Physical distancing of individual children and class groups
- Class sizes are kept at 5-9 students and 1-2 instructors
- Students are stationed at computers 2 metres apart
- Each student stays at their own computer station for the week
- All activities are adapted to have physical distancing between students
- Students eat lunch outside, if the weather permits
Drop-off and pick-up etiquette
- Each student should have one designated parent to drop-off and pick-up (where possible)
- The number of people in entry areas is limited
- Students are to pack up and be ready to go prior to pick up
- Parents are to go directly to the classroom and leave immediately after
