Protecting Our Students and Community from Coronavirus

Distance Makes Us Stronger

Greeting families,

We know these are tough times, and that having your kids get together with other kids brings a sense of comfort (and gives you a break too)! However, it’s extremely important that you and your family maintain physical distance from other people who live outside of your home. Do not host play dates, meet up at the park, or let your children hang out with their friends during the day, evening, or on the weekends.

Many thanks,

Saludos familias,

¡Sabemos que estos son tiempos difíciles, y cuando sus hijos se reúnan con otros niños brinda una sensación de comodidad (y también le da un descanso)! Sin embargo, es extremadamente importante que usted y su familia mantengan la distancia física de otras personas que viven fuera de su hogar. No organice citas para jugar, no se reúnan en el parque ni permita que sus hijos vayan con sus amigos durante el día, la noche o los fines de semana.

What You Can Do and Our Cleaning Measures

The School District of Belleville has a routine cleaning regimen in place to help reduce the spread of germs and communicable disease. In addition to our regular cleaning and disinfection, we are increasing the cleaning of high-touch areas and hard and soft surface items throughout the day. We will follow all guidelines of the CDC and our local and state health departments.

• Wash your hands regularly, for 20 seconds, using soap and hot water. Make sure to wash your fingertips. This is especially important after using the restroom, coughing or sneezing into your hands, and before preparing or consuming food.
• Avoid coughing or sneezing into your hands or in the air. Always try to cough or sneeze into a tissue, and then throw the tissue away. If you don’t have a tissue, cough/sneeze into your arm.
• As much as you can, avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose.
• If children are feeling sick, please keep them home from school. Families should have a plan in place for keeping your child home, picking up your child if they are sent home sick, and if schools are closed.
