Wellness Policy

    Please see the notice attached packet below.

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  

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 hand sanitizers that contain 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.
