Symptom checks and temperature scans joined new classes and meetups with old friends as essential elements of the first day of school Monday at Saint Viator High School in Arlington Heights.
Nearly all of the school’s 837 students chose in-person learning this fall as Saint Viator became one of just a handful of Northwest suburban schools — most of them private — to offer that option.
Students also have the choice to attend remotely, but only a few chose, in addition to 56 international students, picked that option.
Before entering the building each day, students must complete a symptom checker through an emailed link. Their temperature then is checked at the door and movement through hallways is controlled through directional markings.
Everyone in the building must wear a mask at all times, except when eating lunch. Students are assigned a seat in all classes and in the lunchroom, where preordered box lunches are provided.
