Health & Safety Plan:  Our Strategies for Resuming In-Person Instruction

• The Salon Professional Academy has adopted the recommended policies of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Montgomery County, and the CDC regarding mitigating the spread of COVID-19. We will continue to monitor their sites for updated guidance and, when necessary, reach out to the appropriate authority for clarity.
• The Salon Professional Academy will resume in-person instruction on June 15, 2020. Social distancing, masks, temperature checks, and modifications regarding certain processes will be observed during the yellow phase of COVID-19. In addition to the notes below titled “Students Must”, modifications include but are not limited to:
  • faucets changed to touchless (coming soon)
  • soap dispensers changed to touchless
  • handles on bathroom doors to allow opening without the use of hands
  • water fountains will be temporarily closed

  • biometric timeclock will be temporarily closed and attendance will be recorded manually
  • stanchion and rope to limit touching of retail

    • Team members/students who display symptoms will need to leave The Academy immediately and self-isolate (separate themselves from others).
    • Team members/students should notify a healthcare facility promptly and follow the guidance of the healthcare provider.
    • Team members/students will need to test negative from COVID-19 before entering The Academy.
  • If The Academy is informed a team member/student has tested positive for COVID-19:

    • The Academy will take every precaution to protect the team member/student’s health information and maintain her/his privacy.
