MEMO from Mr. Huber
SMA School Covid-19 Guidelines 2021
School and Church administration will continue to monitor current information and we will adjust protocols and procedures as we deem necessary to keep St. Michael the Archangel Catholic School open.
Updated Cleaning Procedures
For your awareness, we are currently using an ultraviolet commercial sterilizer that eliminates viruses, bacteria, fungi, mold, yeast, algae, amoebas, and other germs and allergens within seconds. It’s a hypoallergenic sanitizer so it does not leave irritants or toxic chemicals behind. This process takes 30-90 minutes, depending on room size. Thank you to Brian and his facilities team for using this device to keep our environment as germ-free as possible.
We are also pleased to announce that the entire school building will soon have a commercial-grade air purifier! The iWave-C is a self-cleaning, bi-polar ionization generator for actively treating a building’s air quality. As air flows past the iWave, the device emits positive and negative ions, creating a plasma region that actively purifies the supply air, killing viruses (including Covid-19), mold, and bacteria in the coil and living space. The ionization process also reduces allergens, smoke, and static electricity, as well as controlling odors and other particles in the air without creating ozone or harmful byproducts.
