Health & Safety Tips

Health and Safety Guide 

Due to the seriousness of COVID-19 and how cases continue to rise in the US, it is imperative we have safety measures in place to ensure the well being of the Community Teacher, student, and all those in the household. 

To ensure the following for their children’s safety, parents should:

• Check-in with your child each morning for signs of illness. If your child has a temperature of 100.4 degrees or higher, they should not go to school.
• Make sure your child does not have a sore throat or other signs of illness, like a cough, diarrhea, severe headache, vomiting, or body aches.
• If your child has had close contact with a COVID-19 case, they should not go to school. Follow the guidance on what to do when someone has known exposure.
• Make sure your child is up-to-date with all recommended vaccines, including for flu. All school-aged children should get an influenza flu vaccine every season, with rare exceptions. This is especially important this year because we do not yet know if being sick with COVID-19 at the same time as the flu will result in more severe illness.
• Review and practice proper handwashing techniques at home, especially before and after eating, sneezing, coughing, and adjusting a face cover. Make handwashing fun and explain to your child why it’s important.
