AdventHealth Carrollwood has partnered with Bayshore Christian School in Tampa to provide an extensive safety strategy for safely reopening for class on Monday, August 12, 2020. AdventHealth provided the school with key strategies and implementation plans to assist the K-12 school in limiting the spread of COVID-19 in the classroom setting.
“We are taking extra steps in our hospital and in our communities to ensure everyone is safe as we navigate COVID-19,” said Erika Skula, President and CEO, AdventHealth Carrollwood. “By partnering with Bayshore Christian School we can provide these students, teachers and staff with best practices to create the safest environment possible as they return to class.”
AdventHealth Carrollwood clinicians assisted the school with a plan that would allow for all 220 students to return to the classroom. Some of the key strategies implemented include:
- Enhanced student drop-off and pick up
- Required temperature screenings
- Enhanced prepackaged lunches
