2. Always wear a mask that covers both the mouth and nose when inside at school or when your student is riding a bus to or from school.
3. Wash hands with soap and water frequently when out of your home. If you cannot use soap and water, use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
4. Don’t touch the eyes, nose or mouth unless your hands are clean.
