Essential elements of safe operations for in-person learning at iSTEAM Studio
At iSTEAM Studio, we are taking all possible measures to reduce the spread of Covid-19. We follow CDC health guidelines seriously and adapt to IDPH Illinois Department of Public Health suggestions to reduce the risk to our students, families, and staff.
HELP US PROTECT EVERYONE
- Limited number of students in each hour and camps.
- Students do not share desks unless they come together or are from same family
- Face Mask is required for everyone inside (Parents, Employees, Kids).
- We maintain social distancing inside as much as possible.
- Parents are requested to drop-off and pick up kids near the entrance waiting area. Do not come inside unless necessary.
- Everyone washes hands before touching any equipment or material inside iSTEAM Studio.
- Increased Center Cleaning & Disinfecting Procedures are in place to protect from spread of virus.
- We ask students wear socks all the time. We remove shoes before entering our work-area. This helps us provide cleaner place for kids.
What can your child bring inside:
A Water bottle clearly labeled with child’s name.
Peanut & Tree-Nut Free Snack and Lunch
