Dear CMP Families,
We are writing to address the concerns of COVID-19 and to inform you of the steps that Countryside is taking to best ensure the health and safety of our CMP community. To stay informed and proactive in our approach, we are monitoring all guidelines and updates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Department of Health.
Here is what CMP is doing to stay informed and minimize risk:
-
We’re implementing recommended cleaning and disinfecting precautions, especially on ALL high-touch surfaces
-
Consistently requiring hand washing with soap and water.
-
We are minimizing any tours or visits at this time, until after spring break.
-
Asking families to not bring siblings into the school or playgrounds.
People/families should follow simple steps to avoid getting sick, including:
-
Frequent and thorough hand washing with soap and water.
-
Covering coughs and sneezes.
-
Avoiding touching your face.
-
Set the emotional tone with your child by not panicking and encouraging the preventative measures. Children will pick up on anxiety, stress and panic.
-
Eliminate and evaluate the need to be in public places that can be vulnerable to transferring illness.
-
Staying home when sick or if your family member is sick. Children need to be symptom free for 24 hours (medication free) before returning.
We encourage you to regularly visit the CDC, Wisconsin Department of Health Services, and the Public Health Madison and Dane County websites to stay informed. You and your families’ health is a priority of CMP.
Thank you for partnering with us, entrusting us, and strengthening our relationship together.
