Our SJAA Covid-19 Protection Plan
Since mid-March, the SJAA has been open for ONLINE LESSONS only. Our commercial building has been receiving continued improvements but with little to no public traffic. In-Person Lessons resumed slowly and selectively for some students and teachers on June 1. Lessons – We have begun to slowly re-open for 1-on-1 lessons by appointment only. We anticipate that we’ll move forward with a mix of online and in-person private lessons per the wishes of the individual instructors and individual families. We are asking that all limit their attendance to just the student and one parent/guardian if needed. No large family or friend groups at this time. Social-Distancing – In most cases, our spacious studios make it possible for students and teachers to easily remain 6 feet apart. We will have clearly marked Covid-19 Safety Plans in place outlining any restrictions, protocols or best safety/health practices (ex. limited to student and 1 parent). The SJAA expanded throughout our entire building giving us over 2000 square feet to spread out in, a total of 8 studios, a large classroom, 2 new waiting areas and 2 new sinks for hand washing. Cleaning Schedule – So proud of the way our staff and members always keep our spaces clean and tidy. Our families should notice, more than ever, that our academy is always clean. Our cleaning schedule has been adjusted to each lesson (cleaning teaching surfaces and pianos), hourly activities (inspections, door handle cleaning and bathrooms), daily/nightly cleaning activities with checklists for quality control. Students and teachers would be expected to wash hands well or use hand-sanitizer before and after lessons. All are welcome to continue use face-masks for as long as they feel necessary. And, if you are sick… Stay Home. We will continue to monitor the health of our faculty and students regularly. We take your health and safety seriously. Our policies and processes will evolve with any and all changes in the health and business environments. Thank you.
