  1. Other
    1. COVID 19 – received from Canyons Communication Department on March 2nd. CSD has been in close contact with the Health Department regarding COVID 19 outbreak.
    2. What will happen in the event of school closures? To date, there are no restrictions on public gatherings in Utah, including at public schools. In the event of an outbreak, our school nurses and Responsive Services Department will work closely with local and state health officials. Parents and guardians will immediately be notified of any developments via Canyons District’s emergency messaging system. The Canyons District academic team also has started discussions on how students could continue learning through various formats, in accordance with Administrative Rule R277-419-12(5), if schools are closed for a significant amount of time. In the event of school closures, the Utah State Board of Education has advised District officials that they are in a position to grant waivers to state rules that require schools to hold a minimum number of instructional hours and days per year.
    3. According to health authorities, the symptoms of COVID -19 are similar to those related to seasonal colds or the flu, including fever, cough, and shortness of breath. While these symptoms on their own should not be cause for alarm, we encourage families to keep sick students home and to monitor their student’s health closely if these symptoms arise. Parents can reinforce good hygiene practices at home:
      1. Wash hands thoroughly and often
      2. Avoid shaking hands, especially with those who appear to be ill.
      3. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth as much as possible.
      4. Disinfect shared surfaces
      5. Stay home when you are sick
    4.
