Nurse's Guide to Kids' Health and Safety

We are sharing this SCSD Pandemic Handbook for Distance Learning so you have the information about new procedures and protocols that have been implemented to keep us all safe and engaged with learning during these circumstances. 

When we return to in-person learning we will publish a Pandemic Handbook for Hybrid Learning. We have also developed a SCSD Pandemic Handbook for Employees. 

We will update these resources as new information becomes available and we will house updates on our school website. If you have any questions or feedback on this document, please feel free to contact nurse@scsdk8.org
