Washing our hands

Leave a comment
Hello,
I hope you are doing well. Today I am sharing two links to videos that demonstrate how to safely wash hands with soap and water. We wash our hands a lot at school. Reviewing how to safely wash hands with your child will help them safely wash their hands at school. As we do wash our hands a lot, especially in the colder months, hands can start to dry out. Please feel free to send a small bottle of hand lotion for your child to keep in their backpack to provide some relief.
Both videos are based on the World Health Organization’s technique. This technique can also be used with sanitizer. These links were sent as a class email as well.

What do I need to do?
  • Watch handwashing videos with your child​
  • practice safe handwashing
  • send a small bottle of hand lotion to school to stay in your child’s backpack

I hope you and your families are taking good care of yourselves and are in good health.

I’m so glad you are here, I’ve missed you! 

I am looking forward to seeing you on Monday and getting back into our familiar routines.

Our class website will be a source of information in case anything changes and we need to move to a functional closure. Mr. Gaster has sent a letter through email outlining what will be happening next week.  I will be sending  a potential plan to families should our division need to move to functional closure.  At this point we are in person learning.

Schools reflect what is happening in the community and there is a possibility that, at some point, schools will have so many staff absent due to illness that there will not be enough to provide instruction and appropriate supervision. If that happens, after consultation with the District, a school may have what’s called a functional closure where, following a day of necessary arrangements, students would learn remotely for a period of time.  It’s important to note that schools may not know if they have enough staff until the morning before the school day begins. For that reason, families are asked to check their email messages from the school, as it is possible they will receive a message impacting that school day. 

I hope you and your families are taking good care of yourselves.
