Coronavirus Precautions

ATHY COLLEGE
CORONAVIRUS PRECAUTIONS

What Steps are we taking?

• Since the beginning of last week we have placed hand sanitisers at entrance and in all classrooms and public areas.
  
• All corridor and external toilet doors are fixed open to minimise hand contact on door panels.
  
• All classrooms have been issued with door wedges to prop open at entry and exit times
  
• Extra supplies of soap and washing material and hot water available in all student and staff toilets.
  
• Computer/laptop keyboards sanitised daily.
  
• Disinfectant and paper towels in all classrooms.
  

From the coming weekend/St. Patrick’s Day:

• All non-essential (or exam related) travel or trips from the school will be curtailed.
  
• All non-essential after school activity which allows access to the school building outside of school time will be discontinued.
  
• In the event of school closure staff are all being trained in delivery of material through VLE Google Classroom particularly for exam classes.  We are in a position to deliver a considerable amount of learning through this remote learning method.
  

While some meetings and gatherings may be required to take place we ask parents and the general public to limit visits to the school to a minimum and use email and telephone for preference.

STUDENTS WHO ARE FEELING ILL SHOULD NOT BE SENT TO SCHOOL
