A Note from the Principal
The number of COVID-19 cases in Ohio is increasing, and as a result, the surrounding schools have started experiencing their first positive Covid cases among staff and students. While the experts did predict the fall surge as part of the pandemic, we want to ensure we are proactive with our own safety procedures and protocols. I reviewed with the staff the following simple steps to help mitigate our risk:
- Keep the windows cracked, even if it's cold. Air circulation is important.
- Washing hands! Make the time. Make it a part of your lessons.
- Sanitizing hands. If you can't wash, this is a MUST, especially after transition times.
- Clean desks/chairs.
- Allow students to participate in wiping down lockers, handles, or whatever they use.
- Encourage healthy habits in your weekly emails: enough sleep, eating well, drinking water, avoiding large family gatherings.
I'm so proud of how we have ALL worked together to remain healthy and keep our school open. May God bless you and your family and keep you safe.
Grace and peace,
Mrs. Hibler
