What is the difference between allergies, the flu, and coronavirus?
If your child demonstrates any of these symptoms, please reach out to your doctor for guidance specific to your family.
- Use tele-health or virtual medical services if available to you
As always, if your child has a fever please keep them home for at least 24 hours after their temperature returns to normal.
Prevention is KEY!
- Wash hands with soap and water frequently
- Cover your mouth/nose when sneezing
- Clean high touch surfaces (doors, counters, table tops, phones, remote controls, etc.) with alcohol based sanitizers
- Social distancing (ie. limit close personal contact) with others
- When you feel sick, stay home and rest
Message from Superintendent Mehalick
Dear Students, Faculty, Families, and Community,
The Crestwood School District has been planning and preparing, vigilantly focused on the preservation of the health and safety of our students, staff, and community. Following a webinar with the Pennsylvania Secretary of Education, Pedro Rivera, the Crestwood School District has decided to begin a ten (10) school day closure to support the mitigation of COVID-19, Coronavirus. The return date as of now is March 30, 2020.
This action is a proactive measure, as we do not have one confirmed case in our district or the county, as of this message. During this time, all CSD affiliated sports and activities will also be postponed. We will be serving lunches from two locations within our school boundaries. We anticipate finding a location within the White Haven area and the second distribution point will be the Crestwood Secondary Campus. More information regarding the food program will be forthcoming.
Our administration will continue to review and be informed specific to all developments. While we are prepared, CSD is not enacting our home-based learning provision until such time as direction has been received by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Unfortunately, the direction received thus far has been ambiguous in terms of the Crestwood School District’s ability to plan in a fiscally responsible manner while realizing the best outcomes for our students.
From the onset of this pandemic, the Crestwood School District Board of Education and Administration has had a goal of keeping our entire school community as safe as possible. We believe this is the most locally and globally responsible action that we can take.
I will continue to communicate with all stakeholders utilizing the means we have been using to keep you updated.
I thank you for all of the support that you have provided to our wonderful district during this challenging time. Please stay safe and healthy during this time and know you are in my thoughts.
Thank you,
Bob Mehalick
