We are ensuring the following on campus:

• routine cleaning and disinfecting 

• hand sanitizer, soap, paper towels, and facial tissues are widely available 

• reminding students and staff to cover their coughs and sneezes with a facial tissue or elbow (not in hands) 

At home:

• if your child is ill, check his/her temperature

• remember the importance of vaccines in halting the spread of preventable diseases 

• have a plan to designate a caregiver for sick children  

From CDC - People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19:

• Fever or chills          

• Cough

• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

• Fatigue

• Muscle or body aches

• Headache

• New loss of taste or smell

• Sore throat

• Congestion or runny nose

• Nausea or vomiting

• Diarrhea

We offer this advice from the CDC:

1. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing, or having been in a public place.

2. Avoid touching your face, nose, eyes, etc. with unwashed hands.

3. If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizers that contains at least 60% alcohol.

4. Cover your coughs and sneezes with tissues; throw tissues away right after use; cough and sneeze into your elbow if you don’t have a tissue.

5. To the extent possible, avoid touching high-touch surfaces in public places – elevator buttons, door handles, handrails, handshaking with people, etc. Use a tissue or your sleeve to cover your hand or finger if you must touch something.

6. If you can’t avoid touching public surfaces - wash your hands after touching surfaces in public places.

7. Clean and disinfect to remove germs: practice routine cleaning of frequently touched surfaces (for example: tables, countertops, doorknobs, light switches, handles, desks, toilets, faucets, sinks & cell phones).

8. If you go out in public, keep away from others who are sick, limit close contact and wash your hands often.

3. Avoid crowds as much as possible; a 6’ distance between people is recommended.
