• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. We are prioritizing hand washing and the use of Purell during the school day.

• Stay home when you are sick. Please be fever-free for at least 24 hours (without fever-reducing medication including Tylenol) before returning to school, or when other symptoms are apparent.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.

• Stay informed on emerging news and recommendations by visiting:

• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/ 2019-ncov/index.html

• Ohio Department of Health https://odh.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/odh/know-our- programs/Novel-Coronavirus/2019-nCoV

We expect to reschedule events as we are able and will continue to inform you as we learn new information about this evolving situation.

Sincerely,

Chaz Napoli, President
