Coronavirus Precautions

We are continuing to monitor the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. To protect the health of our students and faculty, we have already taken the following precautions.

• The Barry Family Campus has added hand sanitizer stations in each corridor of the school, so it is more convenient for students to disinfect their hands regularly.
• We have made disinfecting cleaning supplies available in every classroom and teachers are regularly wiping down surfaces to minimize germs.
• All teachers will be working with students to remind them of appropriate hand-washing procedures and are requiring regular hand-washing breaks. 

If you have any questions, please email Maia Poling.
