Schuyler R-1 Schools

Just a reminder that 7th - 12th Parent Teacher Conference will be on March 17th from 4:00-7:00.

Miss Robin from MU Extension began at Schuyler R-1 Elementary this week teaching lessons on nutrition and health to our K-3 students. This week is an introduction to the food groups and handwashing procedures and practice.

We have a fun group of 5th and 6th grade students in Art Club this year. They work on projects for school activities, such as Kindness Week, as well as personal projects to enhance their artistic abilities!

Sixth grade has started presenting their ancient civilization projects. They will host a museum later this semester to display their knowledge and creativity! #WeAreSC

With all the media hype and concerns right now the administration and Board of Education want you to know we are closely following the latest news regarding the Coronavirus and any information being circulated by the Center for Disease Control. We have contacted the Missouri Health Department and at this time, there are no restrictions or requirements to stop activities with large groups of people. Following are some of the suggestions we have been receiving from DESE, MSHSAA, Food and Health Dept, and other organizations and, while most are common sense, they are worth repeating: Food service: Don't let students serve themselves. Provide them time to wash their hands. We will start this immediately. Custodial: Spend extra time and care to make sure all surfaces that are touched are cleaned and sanitized. Perform routine environmental cleaning. Routinely clean frequently touched surfaces (e.g., doorknobs, light switches, countertops) with cleaners that you typically use. Use all cleaning products according to the directions on the label. Provide disposable wipes so that commonly used surfaces (e.g., keyboards, desks, remote controls) can be wiped down by students and staff before each use. Encourage students and staff to take everyday preventative actions to prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses, such as staying home when sick; appropriately covering coughs and sneezes; cleaning frequently touched surfaces; and washing hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty. Remember to supervise young children when they use hand sanitizer to prevent swallowing alcohol, especially in childcare facilities. As consumers, we should be sure to wash hands after filling our car with gas and use sanitation wipes on grocery shopping carts. Again, you can never go wrong with practicing good hygiene and teaching your students and children to do the same. We will certainly keep you informed of any new information we receive. Thank you! Steve
