(Le Mars) — The Le Mars Community School District has received additional guidance from public health officials
and the Iowa Department of Education regarding school district next steps to prevent spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). NOTE: There is NO recommendation to cancel school. Regular school days will occur, at this point. However, the district will perform the following practices to assist in reducing the potential spread of the virus:
1. All school performances and large meetings/events are now
cancelled/postponed through March 29. Practices will continue.
2. When ill, employees and children will not be admitted to school. If the school suspects a child or individual may have COVID-19, the school will send them home and have them call their primary healthcare provider.
3. The school will continue to promote common sense practices for preventing disease spread, such as: covering a cough, staying home when sick, and washing hands. The school will continue to disinfect high touch areas.
4. The school will continue working closely with public health officials and the Iowa Department of Education to identify future actions.
The health and safety of our students and staff are our highest priority.
Please assist us in preventing the spread of this virus. Thank you for your patience and cooperation!
