Promote Healthy Hygiene Practices
It is strongly recommended that everyone be immunized against influenza and COVID-19 unless contraindicated by personal medical conditions. Vaccinations are available to all employees through Student Health Services and can be scheduled here.
Everyone should frequently wash their hands for 20 seconds with soap, rubbing thoroughly after application. Please use hand sanitizer when hand washing is not possible, rubbing until completely dry. Hand sanitizer has been found to be less effective if hands are soiled.
Everyone should cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or use the inside of the elbow. Used tissues should be thrown in the trash and hands washed immediately with soap and water.
Everyone should avoid contact with one’s eyes, nose, and mouth.
The District will have hand sanitizer stations available throughout the sites. Restrooms will also be fully stocked with paper towels/automatic hand dryers.
