Recommendations for a Healthy Year

  • Please screen your child every morning before school for symptoms of COVID-19. It is imperative that you keep them home and take them to the doctor if they are showing any symptoms of illness. Please call me if you are uncertain or have questions.
  • Face coverings or face shields are mandatory for students in 4th and 5th grades and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for all students. Masking will be taken into consideration when determining close contacts in a positive COVID-19 situation.
  • Practice wearing masks at home to help younger students adjust to wearing them at school.
  • It is important to clean face shields or cloth face coverings every day if possible. Your child should wear a clean mask or face shield to school every day.
  • Please send a refillable water bottle as water fountains will not be used. Teachers will assist students in refilling water bottles as needed.
  • Please send a change of clothes in your child's backpack. I recommend this for all grade levels. This is useful not only for potty accidents but for food spills, mud, paint, rips etc. I have a small supply of clothes in the clinic, but your child will feel more comfortable if they have their own clothes.
  • Label jackets and lunch kits. Students will be carrying their own personal items.
  • Please remind your child of cough and sneeze etiquette: Cough or sneeze into a tissue or sleeve and not into hands. Always wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds after coughing or sneezing into hands.
  • Please remind your child of the proper hand washing technique: vigorous friction rub for 20 seconds with soap and rinse with water.
  • As flu season approaches (around October), see your child's doctor about getting a flu shot for him or her.
