Health and Safety Information 

It is important for all of us to continue to do our part by following state and county health guidelines. Please ensure your family is adhering to health and hygiene practices from the California Department of Public Health and the Orange County Health Care Agency to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use alcohol-based hand sanitizers that contain at least 60% alcohol. 
  • Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue, and then dispose of the tissue and clean your hands immediately. If you do not have a tissue, use your sleeve, not your hands, to cover coughs and sneezes. 
  • Limit close contact with people who are sick, and avoid sharing food, drinks, or utensils.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipes.
  • All students and staff are required to wear a face covering while on IUSD campuses or visiting our facilities. We encourage all families to reinforce the importance of hand-washing, physical distancing and face coverings to limit the spread of the coronavirus.  
  • Please complete the COVID-19 symptom screener on the “Daily Home Screening” checklist every day prior to your student’s arrival on campus. If any symptoms are present, it is very important that students stay home.  Please click on the following link to access the “Daily Home Screening” checklist, which is available in multiple languages: Daily Home Screening for Students  You may also click on the “Translate” tab on top of the page to select the language of your choice.
  • If a member of your household tests positive for COVID-19 or is awaiting test results, please keep your child at home and notify us. 
     

If your child has any symptoms associated with the coronavirus, make sure they stay home and get tested if necessary. Anyone with symptoms consistent with COVID-19 should remain at home in isolation for a minimum of 10 days plus at least 24 hours after the resolution of fever (without fever-reducing medication) and improvement in other symptoms.  Please provide a doctor’s note when cleared and ready to return to school.

** Keep children home when they are sick.**
