Sylvania  Schools  -  Coronavirus  Update 

Ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of students and staff in our buildings is the top priority of Sylvania Schools. As cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) continue to increase across the country, we would like to share information on the district’s stance with this virus.

While there have been no confirmed cases of coronavirus in Ohio to date, we want to provide you with information about how Sylvania Schools is monitoring this situation.

Our focus, at this time, is on preventive measures as outlined by the CDC. Our buildings are cleaned daily with a CDC-approved disinfectant. “High touch” areas are cleaned and disinfected more frequently. As always, we ask that children and our staff remain at home if they are ill.

Sylvania Schools is in regular contact with public health agencies to receive guidance and stay current on information regarding the spread of this virus. Our district follows the Lucas County Health Department’s lead on any quarantines, closures, or other health measures as needed. Our focus on ensuring the safety of students and staff comes first if our district would be impacted by this virus. A determination would then be made about how education would continue, whether that be via electronic/remote systems, making up missed school days at a later date or other options that may arise as we would work with the Ohio Department of Education.

Thank you for your continued support in keeping our students and staff safe. More information on the coronavirus is available at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus. Visit the site frequently for the latest updates.
