CLEANING AND DISINFECTION

/ /
  • Routine cleaning will happen daily by the site custodian using EPA approved disinfectants (chairs, tables, doorknobs, handles, uncluttered flat surfaces, keyboards, light switches/buttons, phones, sinks and anything with a classroom or designated areas that would be considered a high touch point)
  • Foggers are available and will be used as needed
  • Limit use of shared items, such as electronic devices, supplies, etc. when possible

Fresno Unified is ensuring that proper preventive maintenance is being performed on all heating and air conditioning units and is changing filters on a regular basis with new HEPA air filters. Systems maximize the influence of filtered outside air into the HVAC system to cycle air out of enclosed space and replace it with fresh air.

/ /

Practicing hand hygiene is a simple yet effective way to prevent COVID-19. All students, staff, families and essential visitors will have access to soap and water.
If soap and water are not readily available, access to hand sanitizer (with more than 60% alcohol content) will be made available.

When to wash your hands

  • Before, during and after preparing food
  • Before eating food
  • Before and after caring for someone
  • After using the toilet
  • After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing
  • After you have been in a public place and touched an item or surface that may be frequently touched by other people
  • Before touching your eyes, nose, or mouth because that’s how germs enter our bodies
