What is the coronavirus?
What is the coronavirus anyways? Why is everyone talking about it? Why can I not go to school or my parents not go to work? Am I in danger? All of these are questions that everyone is having especially our students. I have included videos below to help your child better understand this pandemic.
-geared more towards younger children

What can I do to protect myself and others?
Some of the best ways to protect yourself from the coronavirus is to practice social distancing, stay home as much as possible, and wash your hands!
Hand washing and basic hygiene tips are not only good for protection from the coronavirus but other forms of infectious disease as well such as the flu or common cold.

Social Distancing
It is very hard to social distance yourself from friends and family. If you are feeling depressed or lonely or other feelings, please reach out to your Dr, myself, or our school social worker! We are here for you even though we are not at our school building! The more social distancing we practice, the more likelihood that you will remain healthy and that we can return to our normal days sooner!
