Ithaca College

Thank you for your participation in the Supervisor's Meeting last week. 

As part of our preparations for spring, we will be sending shortly to all staff a request that they complete the Daily Health Screening and Testing Registration form for the spring semester. This form asks that employees indicate how often they will be on campus in the spring and whether their position is high or low contact. This will help us with tailoring the Daily Health Screening to employee needs and the frequency at which employees should be testing. Your employees may reach out to you for assistance with completing the form. Please use some of the strategies we discussed in the Supervisor's Meeting for making determinations about who must be on campus in the spring versus who can remain remote. Please reach out to your Vice President as needed for more guidance. Supervisors will receive a summary of all direct reports registration information so that you can follow up to discuss directly with them if their plans for accessing campus in the spring are inconsistent with how your department will be operating in the spring.

We also recommend that you review the Office of Human Resources’ COVID-19 Employee Resources website which shares many COVID-related resources to support your efforts in navigating the pandemic. A few resources that we would like to highlight:  

• For information on the Daily Health Screening and how to respond to employees who must isolate or quarantine, please review Managing COVID in the Workplace.
• For information on health and safety guidelines to use for employees reporting to campus, please review the information on appropriate Physical Distancing, Office Spaces, and Shared Equipment and Common Areas.
• For frequently asked questions by both supervisors and employees, please review the Supervisor FAQs and Employee FAQs.

There is a question submission form available to submit COVID-related questions and comments. Answers to submitted questions will be posted in the Supervisor FAQs and will remain anonymous, unless you would like your answer emailed directly to you. 

Please use these resources as a supervisor to manage COVID-19 in the workplace during this unparalleled time. We welcome feedback on additions to this site that you would find useful. 

We want to thank you for your leadership during this time and are sending our appreciation to you from afar.
