CORONAVIRUS UPDATE (COVID 19)
Dear Parents and Carers,
I would like to update you on current procedures at school regarding the Coronavirus.
We continue to receive daily updates from both the DFE and Birmingham Local Authority. We are closely following all advice given. Any new updates or change of status will be communicated to you immediately.
The main message to the children is that of maintaining good personal hygiene habits. The children have all watched a video about good handwashing and they are being asked to wash their hands more regularly e.g. when they arrive at school, before and after lunch and before they leave school, as well as when they visit the toilet etc. It would be helpful if you could reinforce this at home.
Children will still have access to the water fountains around school. At this time, if children do not have their own water bottle, we will not provide them with a cup from school as we have done previously. Cups will still be available as normal during school dinners and children should be encouraged to drink at this time. Please send all children into school with a labelled water bottle. These will be sent home daily for washing and refilling.
We are ensuring that we have a good stock of hand soap, paper towels and tissues in every room. Unfortunately, at this moment in time, we are unable to source any hand sanitiser, but have some on order for as soon as it is back in stock. If any parents have any hand sanitiser that they could donate to school, we would be very grateful. We are requesting that all visitors wash their hands on entry to school.
Please inform the office if you suspect anyone in your family to have symptoms of Coronavirus.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any queries or concerns.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs N Damms
