Before social distancing, each person with #COVID19 spread the virus to 2.5 more people. At that pace, most would get it, and many more people would die. But we can slow the spread. That’s why we all #StayHome. #ApartTogether we slow coronavirus.
You can spread #COVID19 without knowing you have it. Whether you have symptoms or not, #StayHome. If you have to go out, wear a mask/bandana/scarf, regularly wash your hands, and stay 6 feet apart. We must stay #ApartTogether to slow coronavirus. https://tea.texas.gov/staywell
Just a reminder, if you need extra help with assignments please reach out to the school or teacher. We can set up a phone call, zoom meeting, FaceTime...whatever we need to do to help!
Did you know that washing your hands with soap & water eliminates #Coronavirus molecules preventing the virus from infecting you & others? The same is true when you disinfect surfaces. Science says it works. https://bit.ly/2w7TGAJ #COVID19 #txed #StayWellTexas

There seems to be a default reminder setting through evite for Prom. I have heard from several students today that they had received this reminder. The issue should be corrected, but I wanted to make sure that everyone is aware that Prom WILL NOT take place April 4th as originally planned. Please email me with any questions or concerns!
Thanks!
