FMS has joined a task force with numerous city and county organizations aiming to prevent and prepare for Coronavirus. Other steps the district is taking to prevent the spread of communicable disease and viruses including:
1. Equipping teachers with the necessary tools for online or remote instruction. FMS Superintendent Dr. Eugene Schmidt issued a letter to the Farmington Community outlining this step in more detail and it can be found here.
2. Regular cleaning and disinfecting of high-use objects such as door knobs, door handles, shared computers, pencil sharpeners and others.
3.Custodial staff is preparing to clean each school over Spring Break. Schools will be closed to all employees and visitors during Spring Break.
4. Lunchrooms have taken steps to prevent the spread of viruses including using pre-packed utensils and condiments, removing shared tables and tubs, and having staff hand out items such as milk rather than using a self-service method.
