Staying safe and healthy as a community is EVERYONE’s responsibility

• Practice physical distancing when outside and in areas that you can
• Avoid bunching together (inside or out)
• Wear a non-medical mask when you can’t physically distance
• No matter where you are please practice the above. Especially when you are off school property at lunchtime or during a study/free period. Concerned community members are worried about you and contacting the school to remind our Schoons that in the community your choices impact us all!
• An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
