Wear a face covering when outside of your home and near people outside of your household.

Practice 6-ft physical distancing.

Avoid non-essential travel.

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

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

Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

Stay home when sick. (Students may return to school after 24 hours fever-free without the use of fever-reducing medication)
