Disease Prevention & Mitigation
Your children are our highest priority and their health, safety and welfare is of top concern. By working together, we can educate and build awareness regarding illness in our community, enforce good hygiene, monitor wellness and follow guidelines and protocols to ensure the best possible learning environment for students and the health of the whole community.
East Bernard ISD and staff members work together to be successful. If a child becomes ill while at school, faculty and staff do their best to isolate him or her and contact parents promptly to pick up their student.
East Bernard ISD routinely teach and reinforce the following:
- Proper had washing (soap and water for 20 seconds and hand sanitizer in between)
- Washing hands after certain activities, including bathroom breaks, after recess and before lunch
- Cough and sneeze etiquette (cough into the upper sleeve or use a tissue and dispose of it properly)
- Keeping hands away from eyes, nose and mouth
- Staying home if sick
Hand sanitizer stations are available in every classroom. In addition, the East Bernard ISD Custodial Department follows strict guidelines and uses hospital-grade products to clean and disinfect school buildings daily.
