Harrisburg School District #6

Student wellness is a top priority at the Harrisburg School District. We are closely monitoring announcements from the CDC and are aware that COVID-19 is now in Arkansas. Our administrators and the school nurses are also monitoring announcements from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, the Arkansas Department of Health, and the Governor's office.

Travelers from affected countries are advised to stay at home and monitor for symptoms until 14 days have passed from their departure from that country, while also limiting interaction with others.

All employees are taking precautions to disinfect their classrooms and work spaces in order maintain a healthy environment for our students.

As parents, you can help by reminding your children on a regular basis to wash their hands with soap and hot water, avoid touching their faces, and cover their mouths when coughing and sneezing. Explain to them the importance of not sharing personal items or food and drinks.

Children are less likely to be affected by COVID-19; however, they can be carriers and spread the virus to older adults and those with weakened immune systems, who can be adversely affected. You can help prevent the spread of viruses at school by keeping children home when they are sick.

We truly appreciate your help in keeping our students healthy.
