Hello Lindbergh Families,
In an effort to help us prepare for any contingencies regarding the Coronavirus, please take a moment to complete the following survey regarding your access to technology at home. This is a school wide survey so we are asking that families with multiple students enrolled only provide the name of their oldest child on this survey. These results are confidential to the school and will be shared with the necessary classroom and resource teachers and administrators only. Please complete this survey as early as possible.

COVID- 19 Resources
Here are resources provided by the district in regards to COVID-19.
Greetings!
It has been quite a busy couple of weeks! Just a quick update for you.
Reported numbers of COVID 19 in the US by state can be found at these links.
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-in-us.html
https://www.michigan.gov/coronavirus
I would like to provide a few additional resources. We may be seeing more students and parents demonstrating anxiety as the news cycle continues to warn us about the threat of COVID-19. Please refer to the attached documents for information to help calm the fears if/when you feel it’s needed.
Also, It is important to note that we are in the midst of our regular cold and flu season. Please remind your school community that local and federal health authorities indicate that the best ways to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 are the same recommendations for preventing the spread of the cold and flu virus, and include:
● Frequently washing your hands with soap and water.
● Covering your mouth when you sneeze or cough.
● Avoiding touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
● Cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
● Avoiding close contact with people who are sick.
● Staying home when you are sick.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does not recommend the use of face masks for the general public.
Finally, schools are not expected to screen for COVID-19. School officials will defer to the local and state public health authorities to determine risk of COVID-19 infection. To prevent stigma and discrimination, use only the guidance describe by local and state public health authorities. Do not attempt to make any determinations of risk based on race, ethnicity or country of origin. Schools should also plan to support students who return from travel to affected areas, especially if they have experienced quarantine.

Thank you for your dedication and, as always, feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
