CORONAVIRUS UPDATE (3-9-2020)

Hello City Kids School families,

We value your partnership in our community as we work together to keep our learning community safe for both students and adults.

On Thursday March 5th we closed the classrooms of City kids School in order to do a full sanitation of learning materials, furniture, counter tops, floors, door handles and major touch points. . . plus any areas we determined that needed sanitation. The teaching team worked diligently to do their part to help clean and disinfect (following best practices during the flu season). In addition to this cleaning, we have an outside service that will be cleaning and disinfecting (on a regular basis) during the next 3-4 weeks, (above and beyond the daily cleaning already happening). I’m thankful for the support of our facilities team.

The City Kids School’s doors will be open on Monday March 9th with regular operating hours. There are still no known confirmed cases of COVID-19 in our district (Lake Washington School District).

As a precaution, we are asking all families to keep there children home from school if they are exhibiting symptoms of the common cold–coughing, sneezing, congestion, etc. We appreciate your support in this endeavor.

As a mother of 3, a grandmother of 4, I understand what this means for all of us, however we want to do everything we can to prevent this virus from spreading.

It’s important that everyone takes steps to reduce the spread of COVID-19, especially to protect those who are more vulnerable. Steps you can take to prevent the spread of flu and the common cold will also help prevent the Coronavirus:

Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If not available, use hand sanitizer.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.

Avoid contact with people who are sick.

Stay home while you are sick and avoid close contact with others.

Cover your mouth/nose with a tissue or sleeve when coughing or sneezing.

The Public Health Department continues to recommend school districts to remain open, as long as we can maintain appropriate supervision and adequate services.

Thank you in advance for your support during this challenging time in our community!
