Here is the Principal Task List for the SARC

Message to Families
A reminder to please send the following message to your families:

During the Thanksgiving break, if your child is experiencing any of the symptoms listed below, which may be consistent with the COVID-19 illness, and/or if your child is being tested for a COVID-19 or tests positive for COVID-19, please complete this absence form immediately.  Our district’s nursing staff will follow-up with your family before Monday, November 30th regarding illness.

Symptoms:

  • Fever / chills

  • Dry cough

  • Shortness of breath, difficulty breathing

  • New loss of taste or smell

  • Nausea or vomiting

  • Diarrhea

Hand Sanitizer Donation Information
A reminder the District will be providing hand sanitizer for the wall dispensers.  If you plan to ask for hand sanitizer donations from your families please follow the following guidelines:

  • Gel hand sanitizer only, no liquid sanitizer.
  • Minimum alcohol content should be 60%, preferred is 70-75%
  • Sanitizer should not contain methanol (wood alcohol) - serious health implications, especially for children.  FDA has a "do-not-use" list.
  • Larger sizes 16.9 oz, 33 oz, or gallon sized should have pumps for ease of use.  Smaller sizes may not be as easy to use but can still be donated.
  • Please avoid too many additives (scents, moisturizers, etc) to avoid allergic reactions.
  • Please have a single point of contact for hand sanitizer donations in order to ensure it meets the standards before it is distributed to the classrooms.
