Important COVID-19 Safety Guides for Parents

As we navigate through these challenging times, the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and families remain our top priority. With the ongoing concerns related to COVID-19, we would like to share some important information and guidelines according to CDC to ensure the health and safety of our school community.

• Vigilance and Monitoring: We urge all parents to closely monitor the health of their children. If your child exhibits any symptoms such as fever, cough, or difficulty breathing, please keep them at home and seek medical advice.

• Isolation and Precautions: If your child has symptoms or close contacted with someone who has tested positive, please test your child immediately. If the result is negative with no symptoms, your child can come to school with a mask on. If the result is positive with no symptoms, your child has to stay home for at least 5 days. If the result is positive and your child's symptoms are improving, your child may end isolation after 5 days as long as he/she is fever-free for at least 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medication).

• Regular Hand Hygiene: Emphasize the importance of regular handwashing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds (about the length of sing the ABC alphabet song). Encourage your children to carry a small hand sanitizer for situations where soap and water are not readily available.

• Mask Usage: If your child is sick, remind your child to wear their mask properly, covering both the nose and mouth, while at school or in public. Masks are an essential tool in preventing the spread of COVID-19.

• Social Distancing: Encourage your child to maintain a safe distance from others whenever possible. Remind them of the importance of avoiding crowded spaces.

• Communication: Keep the lines of communication open with your child's teachers and school administration. If your child is not feeling well or has been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, please inform the school immediately.

• Vaccination: Although the COVID-19 vaccinations are not required now, you can still stay informed about COVID-19 vaccination opportunities for eligible family members. Vaccination is a crucial step in preventing severe illness and reducing the spread of the virus.

• Stay Updated: Stay informed about the latest developments related to COVID-19 from reliable sources such as health authorities and the school. We will continue to provide updates as necessary.

We appreciate your cooperation and commitment to the safety of our school community. By working together, we can create a secure environment for our students to learn and thrive. If you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to the school administration.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

在我們共同應對這段艱難時光的過程中，我們學生、教職員工和家庭的安全與福祉仍然是我們的首要任務。面對與COVID-19相關的持續擔憂，我們想根據CDC分享一些重要的信息和指南，以確保我們學校社區的健康與安全。

• 警覺和監控：我們敦促所有家長密切關注子女的健康狀況。如果您的孩子出現任何症狀，如發燒、咳嗽或呼吸困難，請讓他們留在家中並尋求醫療建議。

• 隔離和預防措施：如果您的孩子有症狀或與確診者有密切接觸，請立即為您的孩子進行檢測。如果檢測結果為陰性且無症狀，您的孩子可以帶著口罩來學校。如果檢測結果為陽性且無症狀，您的孩子必須至少在家中休息5天。如果檢測結果為陽性且您的孩子的症狀有所改善，只要他/她至少在24小時內沒有發燒（不使用退燒藥的情況下），就可以在5天後結束隔離。

• 定期洗手：強調定期用肥皂和水洗手至少20秒（大約唱完ABC字母歌的時間）。鼓勵您的孩子攜帶一小瓶手部消毒劑，以應對沒有容易取得的肥皂和水的情況。

• 戴口罩：如果您的孩子生病，提醒他們在學校或公共場所正確佩戴口罩，覆蓋鼻子和嘴巴。口罩是防止COVID-19傳播的重要工具。

• 保持社交距離：鼓勵您的孩子在可能的情況下保持與他人的安全距離。提醒他們避免擁擠的空間的重要性。

• 溝通：與孩子的老師和學校行政保持通信暢通。如果您的孩子感覺不適或與COVID-19確診者有密切接觸，請立即通知學校。

• 接種疫苗：儘管目前不要求COVID-19疫苗，您仍然可以隨時獲取有關合格家庭成員的COVID-19疫苗機會的信息。接種疫苗是防止嚴重疾病並減少病毒傳播的重要步驟。

• 保持更新：隨時從可靠的健康機構和學校獲取有關COVID-19的最新發展信息。我們將繼續提供必要的更新。

我們感謝您對我們學校社區安全的合作和承諾。通過共同努力，我們可以為我們的學生創造一個安全的環境，讓他們學習和茁壯成長。如果您有任何疑慮或問題，請隨時聯繫學校行政。

感謝您的理解和持續支持。
