To All South Bend Parents, School District Staff and Families:
We are writing to you because we value the health and well-being of our students, staff and families.
As you are aware, there are confirmed cases of COVID-19 (coronavirus) in Washington State. We want you to know we are working with our local county and state health agencies to remain informed on the latest developments. As an increased precaution, our district maintenance staff are also taking increased measures in sanitizing classrooms and other spaces within our school buildings.
The following practices are extremely important to remember for all students and adults:
·
Do not bring your student to school if they do
not feel well or have cold or flu-like symptoms (elevated temperature, fever,
cough, shortness of breath). Keep your
student home.
·
Do not come to work at the school if you do
not feel well or have cold or flu-like symptoms (elevated temperature, fever,
cough, shortness of breath). Stay home.
· Wash hands often with soap and water. If you do not have soap and
water, use alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
· Sneeze and cough into a tissue, elbow or sleeve instead of your
hands. Throw used tissues in a garbage container immediately after use. If you
use your hands to cover a sneeze or cough, wash your hands immediately with
soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
· Avoid rubbing your eyes, touching your nose or putting your
fingers by or in your mouth.
· Avoid close contact with anyone with cold or flu-like symptoms.
