Student Projects

Before coming to activities, each student/participant must perform a daily symptom screening.  Please help us keep everyone safe and healthy.

2. Is anyone on home isolation?
3. In the past 5 days,  has anyone had any of the following symptoms that are new or worsening, and not attributable to an unrelated pre-existing condition?

• • • • • Fever greater than 100.4 °F or feeling feverish (chills, sweating)

In the past 14 days:

If you have answered YES to any of the above, 

 please contact PAF and do not come to face to face activities.

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.
