Dear OLGC Families,
It is a top priority of OLGC Parish School to ensure the health and safety of our students, staff and faculty. Part of this responsibility is to help prevent and respond to infectious diseases that may be in our communities. In light of growing concerns about the coronavirus, or COVID-19, and its effects on those who have contracted the disease, OLGC has implemented the following interventions:
1. Follow AOD recommendations for Mass, which include emptying and cleaning our holy water fonts.
2. Monitor daily attendance for flu-like illness and absences and report high school absences to the local Health Department. This was last done on February 3, 2020 when OLGC experienced a high volume of absences due to flu-like symptoms.
3. Wipe down desks and surfaces daily, including between shared iPad users.
4. Implement good hygiene practices that include educating each class on hand washing best practices and encouraging students to use hand sanitizer dispensers available in every classroom and throughout the building. Students may bring in hand sanitizers if desired.
5. Communicate our sick policy and encourage students, staff, and faculty to stay home if they are sick.
While there are several confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the U.S., no cases have been confirmed here in Michigan. Public health officials continue to advise that the risk to the general public here in the U.S. remains low. Additionally, it's flu season in Michigan. If you are ill, stay home and rest. Here are everyday actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses:
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.
• Avoid touching your face, eyes and mouth.• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when sneezing or coughing.
Throw the tissue away in the trash after using it. When a tissue is not available, cough or sneeze into your elbow.
• Avoid sharing cups and utensils.• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.• Stay home and focus on health when ill, allowing bodies to heal and
get stronger. Absences due to illness are excused.
The Centers for Disease Control, is regularly updating the resources below with timely and factual information about COVID-19:
• https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html• https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/downloads/2019-ncov-
factsheet.pdfAlso, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services has this general fact sheet available to learn more about COVID-19:
• https://www.michigan.gov/documents/mdhhs/nCOV-2019_General_Fact_Sheet_v2-4-20_680266_7.pdf
The Archdiocese of Detroit has been, and will continue to, monitor news concerning the coronavirus. Additional updates will be provided as they become available. As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,Melissa Hunt, principal

Cold and Flu Reminders!
Cold and season is upon us! Our main goal this season is to keep our students as healthy as possible. We cannot do this without help from all parents and caretakers.
The following are some reminders about illness and your students:
• Students that have a fever above 98.6 degrees MUST STAY HOME. Students cannot return until they have been fever free for 24 hours without the use of medication.
• If a student has a fever, vomiting or frequent diarrhea before coming to school in the morning, please keep them home. This will help minimize spreading illnesses to others.
• Washing hands is the best way to prevent the spread of cold and flu.
• Cover coughs and sneezes. Try coughing and sneezing into your arm instead of your hands.
• Please notify the school office when your child will be absent and also sick with any communicable illnesses such as strep throat, pink eye, influenza, etc. The absence line is 734-453-3620.
Thank you for your help in keeping our schools healthy and ready to learn!
