The school board has officially adopted the safety measures we advocated for regarding student travel and classroom health protocols. It is a relief to see these protections put in place for our community. We should remain attentive as these policies transition into daily practice to ensure they are followed consistently.

1. We strongly need the School board ask students and their families who travelled back from China to report to school and classroom teacher. The school should keep tracking status of the students who recently travelled to China (not just Wuhan, any city of China). Other parents of the class should have the right to know whether there are students in the class came back from China recently, and have the right to decide whether to keep their kids at home.

2. We ask that the school board send out a communication to all parents requesting students who or whose families have recently returned from China, to stay at home and keep isolated for a minimum of 17 days for the purpose of self-quarantine.

3. Allow students to wear safety equipment including respirator masks during school.

4. For the safety of children and teachers, the school and classroom teachers should advise students to strictly follow safety guidelines to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus in school. The school should advise staff to do so as well.

Please let us know your decisions. Your patience and considerations are deeply appreciated.

We are very considered about the virus from China, kindly asking the students or the parents who come back from China recently are staying at home for at least 2 weeks before returning back to school. It will be good for everyone, very appreciated. God bless.

Please seriously consider the current situation and ask those students and whose family and relatives to stay home for at least two weeks or even longer to avoid unnecessary possible spread to other students.

All new International students arriving from China this week to start semester 2 should be quarantined for 14 days before starting classes.
