Before coming to Pacific American Foundation (PAF) in-person activities, please help us by following the recommended guidelines:

Shower and wash body immediately prior to departure for PAF in person activities.
While in transit to activities, please maintain physical distancing and utilize proper PPE including a face mask.

When you arrive:

Please wear your face mask.
Stay in your vehicle until we check your temperature. If you are in the normal temperature range (97°F (36.1°C) to 99°F (37.2°C) you are welcome to participate. If you have a fever, you will be dismissed and advised to seek health care.

During activities, we take steps to keep students/participants safe, and ask you to assist us:

Learning tools given out to specific individuals may not be shared amongst students/participants.
Learning tools will be cleaned and sanitized by the individual who is handling it, under direction of staff to ensure proper cleaning and storage.
All participants/students shall continue to wear masks and physically distance at least 6 feet when practical. When distancing is not practical and cannot be maintained, after a period of 10 minutes, children will pause work and step away from each other for 3 minutes before returning to the activity.
Student work, when complete, can be photographed and emailed to the field lead instructor.

At the end of the day:

Learning tools will be stored, gloves will be removed, and hands will be sanitized.

When the student/participant returns home, it is recommended that they immediately shower, washing their hair and body, and that their clothing worn during the day is laundered.
