We have learned that good respiratory hygiene is the best way to combat Covid-19 infection. Most surfaces and objects will just need normal routine cleaning with soap and water, and then will be disinfected with an EPA approved List N disinfectant.
High touch areas/items will be sanitized several times throughout the school day. These include:
tables and desks
counters
light switches
doorknobs
phones
keyboards, mice, and electronic devices
faucets and sinks
restroom toilets and locks
banisters and railings
gym equipment
We will also be using the EMist EPIX360 Handheld Electrostatic Sprayer to ensure quick, effective disinfection of surfaces throughout the school day as our students rotate between their classroom, playing outside, and using the restrooms, etc.
Each of our classrooms and common areas has a blue sanitization cart available stocked with extra masks, Kleenex, hand soap and sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, and paper towels to be used as the classroom teacher needs during the day.
