INTRODUCTION

Organizations across the Nation perform essential functions and services that may be adversely

affected in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. In such events, organizations should have

continuity plans to assist in the continuance of their essential functions. Continuing to perform

essential functions and provide essential services is vital to an organization’s ability to remain a

viable entity during times of increased threats from all hazards, manmade or natural. Since the threat

to an organization’s continuity of operations is great during a pandemic outbreak; it is important for

organizations, in particular the Point Pleasant Schools, to have a Pandemic Management Plan in

place to ensure it can carry out its essential functions and services. While organizations may be

forced to suspend some operations due to the severity of a pandemic outbreak, an effective Pandemic

Management Plan can assist an organization in its efforts to remain operational, as well as strengthen

the ability to resume operations.

This plan provides guidance to the Point Pleasant Schools and may serve as the plan for maintaining

essential functions and services during an influenza pandemic. This guidance neither replaces nor

supersedes any current, approved Point Pleasant Schools continuity plan; rather it supplements it,

bridging the gap between the traditional, all-hazards continuity planning and the specialized

continuity planning required for a pandemic by addressing additional considerations, challenges, and

elements specific to the dynamic nature of a pandemic.

In the event of a suspected exposure of the coronavirus the Superintendent of Schools will consult

with the Ocean County Health Department. If it is determined that there is a health risk to the

school community, the Superintendent of Schools will notify in writing the Executive County

Superintendent of the decision to close schools in the Point Pleasant School District. At this time,

the schools will operate as outlined in the following plan.

If determination is made to close schools by the Superintendent of Schools, all staff will report to

the regular assignments unless directed otherwise by the Superintendent or designee. Staff may be

asked to work remotely from home.

Eligibility List (MEL). During the closure meals have been dropped off to the address of each

student who qualifies for a free or reduced lunch on Mondays with 3 days of meals and Thursdays

with 2 days of meals. In the event the meals could not be delivered by the Transportation

Department the district would utilize the grab and go process at Ocean Road Elementary School,

Nellie F. Bennett Elementary School and Point Pleasant High School, at designated locations

outside of the respective schools, between the hours of 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Memorial Middle

Page 7: Point Pleasant Schools · 2020. 3. 13. · 1 Point Pleasant Schools Pandemic Management Plan March 13, 2020 Revised: March 31, 2020 Revised: May 18, 2020

School students would go to the high school for their meals. The district will continue to

communicate with eligible parents as to which method the district will use if a change is warranted

for any reason. The meals are being delivered by the district’s Bus Drivers and Paraprofessionals.

All parents of eligible students were notified on March 16, 2020 to let them know the approximate

time of delivery each day and to make sure they will be accepting the meal. The families were

told that the delivery will be placed in front of the family’s door. As a precaution, the family was

asked to not take the delivery into their home until the staff member dropping off the delivery

departed. This was done to ensure minimal contact as possible between the staff member and the

family.

During summer recess the meals will be provided to the students by a parent volunteer organization

in Point Pleasant Borough called Panthers Lets Eat. The mission of the group is to provide children

and their siblings who are on the free/reduced lunch program healthy meals when school is not in

session.

for 24 hours to help prevent spreading illness to others.

● Invoke your school policy about staying home and returning to work/school.

Extended School Closings and Summer Schedules

During times when school is shut down especially during this current pandemic we are taking

extra precautions in our cleaning procedures. All touch points such as door handles, handrails,

light switches etc are being disinfected several times daily while the building is occupied. All

classrooms including all common areas such as bathrooms, locker rooms, library, cafeteria

including desktops will be fully cleaned and disinfected. Any area that is occupied after cleaned

will be re-sanitized after the occupants have left.

Procedures will consist of cleaning every area of the building using a top to bottom approach.

Instructional Plans for Remote Learning Days

*This is an updated plan in response to Governorś Murphy announcement on May 4, 2020

to extend remote instruction to the close of the school year. Specific assignments are

assigned through Google Classroom

At grades K-12, students will be expected to log-in to their teacher’s Google Classroom to

access assignments. All assignments will be posted by 8:00 a.m., however parents and

students can create their own schedule for when they will complete these assignments.

Students without internet access or computers will have notified the school ahead of time to

arrange for a district device. Please contact your child’s teacher or case manager if additional

support is needed. If students are confused with any assignments, they can email the teacher

for additional help and clarification.

Classroom Expectations

Since students have different availability and access to technology, we have provided a

flexible schedule to complete school work. Classroom work is posted at 8:00 am

everyday, and teachers are available for whole or small group and individual instruction

daily between 8:00 am and 2:30 pm, Monday through Thursday. Teachers are available

for whole or small group and individual instruction from 8:00 am -11:00 pm on Fridays.

● Teachers will assign thirty minutes daily per core subject, with independent reading

assigned outside of that thirty minutes.

● Teachers will have one virtual meeting per week with his/her entire class. This is

in addition to any small group or individual virtual meetings.

● Teachers are expected to use the online instructional tools available such as

iReady, Achieve 3000, Newsela, Flipgrid, SeeSaw, Edpuzzle, Screencastify and

others that provide differentiated learning experiences, as well as direct instruction.

Attendance

Submission of assignments will count as student attendance. Teachers will work out a plan

with students if the demand of assignments is too overwhelming. Modified assignments are

available for all students and will count toward attendance.

● If students are not attending, teachers will reach out via email to the student and

parent(s)/guardian. If a teacher does not hear back, he/she will reach out via a phone

call and document the communication efforts.

● If a teacher does not hear back from the student or parent/guardian, he/she will reach

out to the studentś guidance counselor, as well as the building administrator.

● If a school staff member is unsuccessful in reaching a student or parent/guardian

after several attempts, it may be necessary to contact outside resources to support in

making a connection. All communication attempts will be documented in writing.

All attendance decisions regarding promotion, retention, graduation, discipline etc. will be

in accordance with district policy.

Grading

Elementary Schools

Teachers will continue to assess and provide feedback to students and parents. Marking Period 4

will be a narrative summary providing parents with an overview of the strengths and areas

needing support.

Memorial Middle School and PPBHS

● Grading will continue to include participation, effort and assignments within the overall

grades.

● Students will not earn zeros. They will be marked incomplete with an opportunity to make up

any missed assignments.

● Teachers will continue to reach out to parents and students if work is not being maintained.

This communication must be documented. Teachers must contact their building administrator if

a student or parent is not responding.

● Any extenuating circumstances must be made in writing by the parent or guardian. This

requirement should be communicated to parents via your Google Classroom. Principals will

make the final decision if a student is experiencing an extenuating circumstance.

● No teacher will administer a “final”.

● No student will achieve lower than a 65% as a final grade for marking period 4.

● Electives, only at MMS, will be scored Pass or Incomplete

Special Education

Based on current guidance related to the education of students with disabilities during COVID-19

school closures, special education and related services will be provided “to the most appropriate

extent possible while students are away from their schools/programs” (NJDOE, March 2020).

Furthermore, “the provision of FAPE may include, as appropriate, special education and related

services provided through distance instruction provided virtually, online, or telephonically”

(USDOE, March 2020) to the extent that it is safe, practicable and ethical in light of the

circumstances with the anticipation that parents/guardians will cooperate and participate as

needed.

Related Services and students receiving Eligible for Speech and Language Services:

Blended Lesson (virtual and paper based) are assigned by related services staff to target IEP goals

and objectives. Services, when appropriate, will be facilitated using an on-line video conference

platform. Both individual and group sessions will be conducted based on the IEP to the maximum

extent possible during the extended school closure.

Compensatory services provided as needed (based on several factors including evidence of

regression) upon return to school. Related service providers log all services on a daily basis.

Page 13: Point Pleasant Schools · 2020. 3. 13. · 1 Point Pleasant Schools Pandemic Management Plan March 13, 2020 Revised: March 31, 2020 Revised: May 18, 2020

13

Counseling: Support will be provided via phone conference if warranted to address relevant

concerns. MS and HS students can message counselors through Gmail. Counseling lessons will

be provided through blended learning including both virtual support and paper-based activities.

Counselors will log attendance/participants and all phone and email contacts with families.

Child Study Team Case Management and Compliance:

Mandated meetings per NJAC 6A:14: CST members, related services providers and teachers will

conduct all meetings including, but not limited to, Annual Reviews, Initial Planning Meetings,

Reevaluation Planning Meetings and Eligibility Determination Meetings in accordance with

mandated timelines. When evaluations are warranted, the CST will complete any and all that

can be completed virtually. Any child study evaluations that cannot be completed remotely will

be completed when schools return to a traditional learning environment. Corresponding

eligibility conference will occur following the completion of all evaluations. All meetings are

recorded in the IEP Platform. Progress Indicators are provided to parents via IEP Platform in

accordance with individual IEPs and NJAC 6A:14. The District will monitor and implement

relevant guidance from the NJ DOE. Case managers will be available via email, phone, and

online video or chat platform to facilitate meetings, answer questions and address all concerns.

CST members, related services providers and teachers will hold mandated meetings, when

appropriate, using an on-line video conference platform or phone conference. In the event a

required member of the IEP Team is not available, the case manager, in accordance with NJAC

6A: 14 will receive written consent to proceed with the meeting if the parent/guardian is in

agreement. All related documents, including PRISE, will be shared electronically or via US

Mail. In the event the meeting cannot be facilitated as noted above, the meeting will be

rescheduled. There will be frequent communication with CST and staff regarding student

performance and participation. IEP progress reports along with report cards will be completed

and reviewed at the end of each marking period. Case managers will maintain open lines of

communication with parents via email, phone, and online video or chat platform regarding

student progress and compliance with IEPs.

Students attending Out of District Placements:

OOD schools have provided distance-learning opportunities to their students and have provided

documentation to that effect to the district. District CST will be available via email, phone, and

online video or chat platform to facilitate meetings, answer questions and address all concerns.

Child study team case managers have contacted all schools to insure that students are

participating and that instruction is being provided.

Addressing ELL and Bilingual

All ELL students are under the guidance of our ELL teachers. Recognizing the need for

flexibility for our ELL students, we have set up virtual class meetings on Zoom twice a week as

well as various individual meetings at students' request. In addition, students are made aware

that due dates for their assignments are also flexible.

Page 14: Point Pleasant Schools · 2020. 3. 13. · 1 Point Pleasant Schools Pandemic Management Plan March 13, 2020 Revised: March 31, 2020 Revised: May 18, 2020

14

ESL teachers are linked to the mainstream teachers’ google classrooms. The ESL teacher can

monitor the progress of each student by viewing the gradebooks and daily assignments and make

modifications as needed. Also, directions for assignments can be clarified or translated to the

students’ native language.

Students are assigned lessons utilizing Youtube videos, CommonLit’s digital library, EPIC,

iReady and other interactive websites to help with speaking, grammar and vocabulary skills.

One of our priorities is communicating with the families of our ELL students to ensure they have

access to correct information and needed services. We update families on a regular basis via

email, phone calls, or home visits. Written copies of parent communication are available in their

native language if necessary.

Alternate methods of instruction are used throughout the district for Ells on all levels of

instruction. Students' background, experience, culture and education history are assessed and

instruction is provided at that level. The district ESL teachers as well as many mainstream

teachers are SIOP trained and professional development is provided for all teachers. ESL

teachers are available to staff for support and addressing the needs of ELL students both in and

out of the classroom.

Our students have been provided chromebooks to use at home and free access to wifi to ensure

all of our students have internet access. We have weekly online conferences with classes in

addition to frequent one-to- one conferences. Technology support is available through the

district technology staff.

Equitable Access

The district will provide equitable access to materials and resources as outlined in the

district policy. Teachers have surveyed all students/families to identify access to online

learning and any barriers that would interfere with a remote instructional plan. We will

leverage the learning platforms and tools that we have available to deliver the most

appropriate content under the potential circumstances we may face. Options may include

borrowing a Chromebook or iPad (agreement will be signed) or picking up a hard copy

packet of work that is mirroring the on-line assignments. Students with Individual

Education Plans, as well as students identified as ELL, will have specific modifications for

learning based on available technology or unique needs of the students. Special education

teachers and ELL teachers will be responsible for documenting these needs and reporting

any additional needs to their supervisors or building principals.

Access to Technology and Internet Access

The Point Pleasant School District provided a device to any family in need to bridge the digital

divide for online learning. Families in the community were also directed to the various programs

offered through companies such as Verizon and Comcast that would provide free or reduced

pricing for Internet access. To date, the school district has distributed over 300 laptops.

The Point Pleasant School District utilizes the Google platform. Google is an autonomous

system that will run on any browser, including cell phones. Programs such as Google

Classrooms, add-ons, and extensions enhance the learning process. Students use other online

sites and programs such as YouTube, Khan Academy, Achieve 3000, Pearson Bridge and others.

Students can access online testing, video conferencing and collaboration with teachers/peers.

The students obtain assistance from their teacher(s) regarding technical difficulties. In return,

the staff through a special email, has direct access to the district technology department. Parents

can gain additional assistance through their school’s principal, assistant principals, and guidance

counselors.

School Nurses

School District Nurses will maintain open lines of communication with parents via email,

phone, and online video conference platform to answer questions and/or concerns. They

will communicate and help organize community resources to support families in need.

Collaboration with parents and physicians will take place as warranted to ensure the health

and safety of all students. School Nurses will consult with staff on how to best support

their students as well as themselves.

Remote Instructional Plan Support

Resources are available for parents, teachers, and students.

Preparation for Preliminary High School Graduation for the Class of 2020

An initial plan has been developed to have an outdoor ceremony, weather permitting. The plan

uses the social distancing guidelines recommended by the CDC for students and attendees. The

plan would limit the number of spectators to two people/student. Additionally, the students

would be spaced out on the football field and both sides of the field would be utilized for guests.

The plan was made in conjunction with the Point Pleasant Police Department to ensure that

adequate police coverage would be in attendance to patrol the crowd and enforce the CDC

guidelines and any other requirements from Governor Murphy.

If this type of ceremony is not allowed, the high school administrators are preparing to hold a

virtual ceremony. Plans are still in progress for that scenario.
