Dear Saint Joe Families,
We place the utmost importance on the health and safety of our students, faculty, staff, and families. With that in mind, we are monitoring information from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Health Department regarding the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Based on current conditions, we recommend that students and faculty/staff with flu-like symptoms stay home for at least 24 hours after they no longer have a temperature of 100℉ (without a fever reducer). We are communicating to students the importance of preventative measures, such as washing hands often with soap and water and properly covering their mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. We are also taking steps to regularly clean frequently touched surfaces.
If you or a member of your family travel to places from which the CDC or Health Department requires self-quarantine, we will work with you to keep your students current with their school work. We expect that all families comply with all health official requests. Please contact our attendance office to report any travel within your family that may require quarantine.
We are developing plans to continue students’ education through eLearning in the event we are advised to close school. We hope that we will not need to implement these plans.
We appreciate your cooperation during this time. Thank you and God Bless.
Sincerely,
