School Dismissal Childcare Program
—Read or watch local media sources that report school dismissals or stay in touch with your school.

—Discourage children and teens from gathering in other public places while school is dismissed to help slow the spread of COVID-19 in the community
—Seek guidance from your school administrator to determine when students and staff should return to schools
