Health and Safety Plan

We C.A.R.E. About Our School Community

Click here to view our American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ARP ESSER Health & Safety Plan).

Within this plan, our goal is to safely educate 100% of students in-person by practicing proven COVID-19 mitigation strategies and following CDC and local/state health department guidelines.

PHCSE is mindful that there are no strategies that can completely eliminate the risk of COVID-19 transmission within a school population. However, our goal is to employ as many measures as possible to minimize the risk while continuing school academics and activities. PHCSE will continue to monitor the Health and Safety Plan throughout the year and update the plan as needed. All revisions will be reviewed and approved by the PHCSE Board of Trustees. 

All school activities are guided by Governor Tom Wolf’s Process to Reopen Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania Department of Education recommendations for PK-12 schools.
