A health checklist greets students at the front entrance. This checklist helps students identify whether it is safe for them to enter the building.

Teachers utilize large spaces to safely instruct. Here, the auditorium is being used to teach an AP Economics class.

Stairs are now marked with "Wrong Way" to ensure that students follow a one-way path in narrow spaces such as stairwells. This reduces congestion in the hallways.

This is a desk in the cafeteria where students eat lunch. At the top right of the desk, students scan the QR code to indicate they have sat there.

The cafeteria set-up displays spread out desks, all facing one way. All of these desks have QR codes for students to scan for contact tracing.

Social distancing signs are spread throughout the halls. These help students stay a safe distance away from each other.

Here, a student utilizes one of the many sanitizing stations spread throughout the school. This helps students kill germs.
