At Upstage, we take your children’s health and safety very seriously. Staff members are trained on health protocols to ensure full understanding and compliance with the local Health Department and in accordance with school district policies, on what to do in the event someone becomes ill,
General Health and Safety:
- If your child is sick, please do not send them to class or camp. If your student is showing symptoms while present, we will ask parents to pick them up.
- STAY HOME If your child does not attend school they may not participate in rehearsal or the show that day.
- STAY HOME If any new illness or symptom prevents a child from participating meaningfully in routine activities
- STAY HOME If a fever is of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher. RETURN WHEN fever went away over the night and is gone in the morning without the use of medications such as Tylenol® , Advil® , or Motrin® (acetaminophen or ibuprofen)
- STAY HOME If vomiting has occurred 2 or more times in 24 hours. RETURN WHEN vomiting has ended overnight, and your child is able to hold down liquids and food.
- Upstage promotes healthy hygiene practices by teaching students the importance of washing their hands and provides campers with hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol, when they don’t have easy access to soap and water, and encouraging children to cover their coughs and sneezes with a tissue or to use the inside of their elbow.
- If a child does get sick during class, we will identify an area where they can rest, until a parent or caretaker can be reached to pick up the child.
- We are registered with the Los Angeles County Department of Health and the Ventura County Department of Health, which will actively guide us in health policy changes when necessary.
Thank you for your help making our classes and programs safe, fun, and memorable for everyone!
