Note from Head of School / Nota de la Directora
de la Escuela
I know that all of us are concerned about the Coronavirus
(COVID-19) and I am enclosing this letter that was sent to all
Morris Jeff families earlier this week, outlining steps that the
school is taking towards prevention of contagious diseases,
including COVID-19, here at Morris Jeff.
Yo sé que todos están preocupados por el coronavirus (COVID-19)
y le adjunto esta carta que fue enviado a todas las familias Morris
Jeff a principios de esta semana, delineando los pasos que la
escuela está tomando hacia prevención de enfermedades contagiosas, incluyendo COVID-19, aquí
en Morris Jeff.
Be assured that our school is following the protocol set by the Center for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), the New Orleans Health Department, the Louisiana Department of
Education, and NOLA Public Schools in our prevention plan and communication to families. If
we nd ourselves needing to move into a preparation phase (for potential school closure or
quarantine) we will follow the protocols established by these organizations.
Estar seguro de que nuestra escuela está siguiendo el protocolo establecido por los Centros para el
Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC), el Departamento de Salud de Nueva Orleans, el
Departamento de Educación de Louisiana, y las Escuelas Públicas de NOLA en nuestro plan de
prevención y comunicación a las familias. Si nos encontramos necesidad de pasar a una fase de
preparación (para el cierre de la escuela o el potencial de cuarentena) vamos a seguir los protocolos
establecidos por estas organizaciones.
Next week we will be meeting with the New Orleans Health Department to learn more about
COVID-19 and develop plans to respond to any potential cases. All attendees will be
provided with draft sample plans for responding to COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses.
La próxima semana nos encontraremos con el Departamento de Salud de Nueva Orleans para
aprender más sobre COVID-19 y desarrollar planes para responder a todos los casos posibles. A
todos los asistentes se les proporcionará los proyectos de planes de muestreo para responder a
COVID-19 y otras enfermedades respiratorias.
In the meantime, please follow the CDC’s Handwashing guides and assist your children in
following these guidelines as well. Our campuses are stocked with soap, paper towels, hand
sanitizers, and anti-bacterial wipes for surfaces. Our custodial vendors have sent us a list of
expectations from their plans to ensure that both school sites are cleaned thoroughly every
day (including doorknobs, stair rails, and common areas of the school).
Mientras tanto, por favor, siga las pautas de lavado de manos los CDC y ayudar a sus hijos en el
seguimiento de estas directrices también. Nuestros campus están provistos de jabón, toallas de
papel, los desinfectantes de manos y toallitas antibacterianas de super cies. Nuestros proveedores
de custodia nos han enviado una lista de las expectativas de sus planes para asegurar que ambas
escuelas se limpian a fondo todos los días (incluidos los pomos de las puertas, barandas de escaleras,
y las áreas comunes de la escuela).
We remain diligent and prepared, while implementing all preventative measures available to
us at this time. Thank you for your continued support of our staff and our school.
Seguimos siendo diligente y preparado, mientras que la aplicación de todas las medidas preventivas
disponibles para nosotros en este momento. Gracias por su continuo apoyo de nuestro personal y

Lopez library misses your overdue books!
Please help your child to remember to return their library book(s) on time! If they aren't
nished by the due date, it can be renewed for longer. We encourage families to choose a
designated spot in the home to store the book(s) while they are checked out. This may be a
designated bookshelf or on a bedside table. Or, keeping library books in the child's backpack
when they are not in use could prevent items from getting lost. The library does not charge
for overdue books, only lost or damaged ones. Thank you for helping keep our library
collection growing and intact; and, of course, for your support
of our beautiful school library.
