COVID-19 Updates

We will be following guidelines from the Ohio Department of Education, the Ohio Department of Health and local health officials.

The Health Departments of Ashtabula County recommend masking for everyone.

Masks are strongly recommended but will not be required at this time. You are encouraged to make decisions based on the guidance of the Department of Health and your healthcare provider.
We will:
Continue to socially distance as much as possible
Continue to use air filters in our HVAC equipment that filter out COVID-19
Continue to utilize hand sanitizer dispensers throughout the campus
Utilize plexiglass dividers in common office areas and classrooms where applicable

If there are legislative changes or new health orders issued that impact these guidelines, we will communicate this as soon as possible.
