Back to School Reminders!

Masks help protect against and stop the spread of COVID-19 to others. It is important to always wear a clean mask every day! For better protection, wear two masks: a disposable mask underneath and a cloth mask on top.

Handwashing and hand sanitizer are essential for good hygiene. By washing your hands, you are able to remove any harmful viruses and bacteria stuck to your hands. During this pandemic, it is important to wash your hands frequently, especially before and after eating.

Water fountains in school have been turned off since the start of the year. So, to stay hydrated throughout the day, it is recommended that students bring their own water bottles or buy water from the cafeteria. It is discouraged that you share water with someone else, as this increases your chance of getting COVID-19.

While many teachers used the allow students to eat food in their classes, this is no longer the case. By taking off your mask to eat, you increase your chance of getting COVID-19 greatly. So, to prevent this, it is recommended that students only eat food and snacks during lunchtime.

It is important to cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, even when wearing a face mask. This is because it is not guaranteed that a mask will be able to capture every respiratory droplet when someone coughs or sneezes. So, because it's better to be safe than sorry, please use a tissue to cover your mouth or nose.

As more and more students begin to return to school, crowding in the halls becomes a big issue. Large crowds increase the risk of a COVID-19 outbreak and poses as a danger to many. So, it is important to be aware of the amount of people in the hallways as you go to class.
