Folsom Weekly Update
March 5-13
Message from Dr. Mazzoni
The Folsom School District is committed to ensuring the health and safety of students and
staff in our school. The District is actively monitoring the recommendations and implementing any requirements provided by the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH), as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for the prevention of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
The following are preventative measures that we are taking:
· Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are located throughout the school and will continue to be replenished.
· Custodial staff will continue to clean and disinfect the school daily (including all “high-touch” surfaces) as part of ongoing custodial services.
· Administration will review and implement appropriate recommendations from local, state,
and federal entities (including the NJDOH and CDC) regarding the Coronavirus.
· School nurse will continue to screen for flu-like symptoms.
In order to assist us in preventing the spread of any virus, including the Coronavirus, we urge all families to:
· Notify administration if your child has traveled outside the country in the last 14 days;
· Frequently wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds;
· Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with your hands;
· Sneeze into a tissue or sleeve instead of your hands; and
· Keep your child(ren) home if he/she is sick.
Should there be a confirmed case of the Coronavirus, the District will:
· Notify the NJDOH;
· Comply with all NJDOH and CDC requirements;
· Continue compliance with our policies and regulations on communicable diseases and hygienic management;
· Notify the school community of the affirmed case; and
· Sanitize and clean possibly affected areas per the instructions of the NJDOH.
Further communication will be provided as information becomes available. We are currently discussing and planning for the unlikely event that the district would need to be closed due to illness and will report on our plans for instruction and related services and logistics.
I appreciate your collaboration and support in keeping our students and staff as safe and healthy as possible.
Respectfully,
Matthew Mazzoni, Ed.D.
Superintendent
