If you begin to receive emails from parents with questions, please forward them to myself and Mr. Chutz. I will also have a few updates to share during SIT on Tuesday.
Coronavirus info for students:
We do not want to panic our students in any way so please address this topic delicately, but we do want to continue to remind and encourage students the importance of proper hand washing at home and at school. Here is some info for students. Continue to emphasize proper hygiene such as washing hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds, covering your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, and avoiding contact with your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Disinfecting:
Our custodians will continue to clean high use areas such as door knobs, flushers, faucets, water fountain buttons daily. We still have some Lysol wipes in the office if you need some to wipe down any other surfaces like your phones or light switches often.
Daily Attendance: We need to ensure that attendance is taken in a timely manner each morning and that it is accurate as the district is closely monitoring absences.
Additional precautions from the district for disinfecting student tech devices: Cleaning Procedures: Cleaning is different from disinfecting and generally only needs to be done when a device is obviously dirty or has not been cleaned for a long period of time. All technology devices can be cleaned with a sturdy damp, not wet, lint-free paper or cloth. "Damp not wet" means that if you squeeze the paper or cloth in your hand, no liquid will run no matter how tight you squeeze. The preferred cleaning solution is simply warm water and soap. The mixture should not be so soapy that it creates a lather on the cloth or device though. Any excess dampness on the device can be wiped dry with another clean sturdy lint-free paper or cloth. Disinfecting Procedures for Shared Devices: Devices with a clean appearance should be disinfected at the end of each school day. If a device does not have a clean appearance, it should be cleaned first and dried prior to disinfecting. All shared technology devices can be cleaned with a sturdy damp, not wet, lint-free paper or cloth. The preferred cleaning solution is 70% Isopropyl Alcohol, more commonly referred to as rubbing alcohol. Any excess dampness will naturally and quickly dry. Do not wipe dry with another cloth. Obtaining Rubbing Alcohol CCS will be purchasing an initial supply of rubbing alcohol for our K-8 and Elementary schools where student laptops deployed in grades K-5 are the predominant shared technology device. As soon as there is an ETA on the delivery of these supplies CCS will reach out once again to Digital Learning Lead Teachers and Digital Learning Facilitators. Once the initial supplies have been exhausted, however, schools should plan on the purchase of additional rubbing alcohol. Applying Rubbing Alcohol to Devices CCS will provide a small spray bottle for each classroom teacher in order to spritz the sturdy, lint-free cloth or paper. Our custodial staff have lint-free disposable paper towels that can be used upon request, however, schools are asked to ensure each towel is used until fully consumed rather than using a new towel for each device to ensure we are maximizing our resources.
