Dear Parents and Guardians,

 

During this time of year we tend to see an escalation of flu and flu related illnesses. This year is no different. Please know that our custodial staff is putting in place a “Flu Plan Procedure” at both facilities. We are ensuring disinfection of hard surfaces including, handrails, door knobs, and light switches. We are also targeting any surfaces a student may touch in the hallways such as doors (inside and out), benches, water fountain knobs, etc. We also remind our students to wash their hands before lunch and use hand sanitizer when needed. Please help us by reminding your child/children to sneeze or cough into their elbow (in the absence of tissues), to wash hands often and to try to avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth. Working together, we will beat the season! Thank you for your support.
