The district takes the safety of students and staff into serious consideration and will continue to promote safety by taking the safest, most effective, and appropriate precautions. 

Following the suggestion of local health departments, the district has developed an emergency plan in response to the coronavirus, and changes have become a consideration. At this time, our schools will be following regular operations unless stated otherwise. 

In efforts to promote student and staff safety, the district is enhancing sanitation by providing hand disinfectants in every classroom and promoting handwashing habits for students and staff. District custodial services are continuously monitoring the situation and disinfecting our facilities daily. 

We invite you to read the following procedures below provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
• Follow CDC’s recommendations for using facemask.
  • CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear facemask to protect themselves from respiratory viruses, including 2019-nCoV.
  • Facemask should be used by people who show symptoms of 2019 novel coronavirus, in order to protect others from the risk of getting infected. The use of facemasks is also crucial for health workers and people who are taking care of someone in close settings (at home or in a health care facility).
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
• If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.

In the event of changes to regular operations in our schools in regards to or related to the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the district will advise families as soon as possible. 

We appreciate the community's continued support and patience during this situation, as we are focused on ensuring our students and staff remain safe.
