Our school staff members have been working collaboratively to establish health measures for our students during in-person learning. These protocols include: · Distancing in hallways and classrooms · Regular, scheduled handwashing with soap and water · Limiting the sharing of personal items and supplies to small groups and disinfecting between use · Keeping student personal items limited and making sure they are individually labeled and placed in student cubbies, desks, containers or backpacks. Our staff members are modeling proper protocols for our students, including line ups, movement in the halls and distancing. In addition, we have placed reminders throughout the schools about the importance of taking simple steps to support our health and safety measures. Your child may have seen evidence of these protocols through various signage in the building. The signs are in place to encourage students to wash their hands frequently, maintain appropriate distancing, help locate disinfecting stations and reminders on wearing face coverings. There is also signage on each UCS school entrance reminding everyone about COVID-19 protocols.
Warmly,
Mary Beth Merlo
