Our Roots team has implemented best practices to keep a safe learning environment for our families. Prevention is our priority at this time especially during cold and flu season. Common corona viruses can cause symptoms similar to a common cold, such as fever and respiratory symptoms such as cough and shortness of breath. 

To assist in keeping the school clean, our excellent janitorial contractor sterilizes surfaces nightly. Other tips for students and Staff to reduce the spread of germs are:

1. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.

2. Avoid close contact with people who are sick

3. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

4. Clean disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

5. Use and alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol if you have symptoms of acute respiratory illness.

6. Stay home from work or school until you are free of fever, signs of fever, and any other symptoms for at least hours and without the use of fever-reducing or other symptom-altering medications.

if you have reason to believe you have been exposed to corona virus, influenza, or any contagious disease, call your health care provider or visit a healthcare facility BEFORE bringing your child to the school.
