We are committed to making all decision in the best interest of the health and safety of our students, staff and community.  We must be vigilant and proactive regarding their health and wellness. 

• We have a team closely monitoring information being released by the Center for Disease Controls (CDC), Ohio Department of Health and the Geauga County Health Department on a daily basis to ensure we are implementing recommendations to prevent the spread of this virus.
• As always, we continue to encourage hand hygiene, cough/sneeze etiquette and staying home when ill.
• We are asking that you report your child’s general symptoms when calling him/her in sick so that we can monitor the illness trends in our buildings, grades and classrooms.
• We are monitoring student and staff attendance rates.
• We are routinely cleaning frequently touched surfaces with appropriate cleaning products in our buildings and also our transportation fleet.
• Even with confirmed cases in Ohio, the U.S. risk of infection remains “low” per the CDC, so anything now is in the preparation phase and not currently an active disease outbreak.
• We will be advised by the health department regarding any possible school closure to protect the safety of our students, staff and families.
• In the event that Kenston Schools would close for an extended period due to COVID-19, or any other reason, district leaders plan to continue instruction for our students.
