We also would like to remind everyone of steps you can take to help be safe:

1. Maintain social distance at all times from those you don’t live with.
2. Always wear a mask that covers both the mouth and nose when inside at school or when your student is riding a bus to or from school.
3. Wash hands with soap and water frequently when out of your home. If you cannot use soap and water, use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
4. Don’t touch the eyes, nose or mouth unless your hands are clean.
5. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL WHEN THEY ARE SICK OR HAVE SYMPTOMS:

• Signs of COVID-19 are: fever, fatigue/tiredness, muscle/body aches or pains, congestion, cough, runny nose, shortness of breath/difficulty breathing, nausea/vomiting or diarrhea, headache, loss of taste or smell, rash, feeling sick or unwell in any way.
