Summary
NOTE: Updated for 2025-2026
We are committed to providing a safe environment for our students and teachers. Our COVID-19 protocol follows the latest guidance from the California Department of Public Health and the policies of the San Diego Unified School District.
Here are the main points:
- Vaccination: All Italian school staff are fully vaccinated and boosted.
- Symptoms: Please do not bring children to class if they have any flu-like symptoms such as a runny nose, cough, or sore throat.
- Masking:
- In line with San Diego Unified guidelines, masks are strongly recommended but not required.
- Teachers have been provided with N95 masks and may wear them at their discretion.
- Students are encouraged to wear a N95, KN95, or KF94 mask.
- Eating and drinking will take place during a 15-minute outdoor break.
- Ventilation:
- Air conditioning units are equipped with high-efficiency filters and set to higher speeds.
- A Corsi-Rosenthal filtration box is in use in the central room.
- Tracing:
- If a student is quarantined at their regular school, they should also skip Italian school.
- We follow the same quarantine and tracing guidelines as the San Diego Unified School District.
