Winter is a time for holidays and chilly weather, but it also brings more chances of getting sick. King’s Schools, a K-12 private Christian School in Shoreline, Washington, has set up special rules and practices to keep everyone safe. Implementing health measures is essential during winter, and how King’s Schools is working to make sure everyone stays well.  

Understanding Winter Health Challenges  

During winter, people often catch illnesses like the flu or colds more easily. Because everyone is inside more, germs can spread quickly. King’s Schools knows it’s essential to have suitable health protocols to make sure everyone at school stays safe and healthy.  

King’s Schools Health Rules  

  • Cleaning and Sanitizing: Often cleans and sanitizes things, especially places people touch. Using strong cleaners makes sure germs don’t stick around.  
  • Hand Washing: Actively promotes frequent handwashing among students, strategically placing convenient hand sanitizer stations throughout the premises and consistently reminding everyone to wash their hands thoroughly to prevent the spread of germs.
  • Checking for Sickness: Encourages students and staff to check and see if they are sick or have come into contact with someone who is. 
  • Keeping Some Space: Ensures enough space between people in classrooms and common areas. Space often helps stop germs from spreading through the air.   
  • Learning from Home Option: In case of widespread illness or the need for individuals to stay at home, King’s Schools allows students to continue their education remotely. This ensures the safety of everyone while maintaining the pursuit of learning.

Winter can bring extra challenges to staying healthy, but King’s Schools is working hard to ensure everyone stays well. They prioritize thorough cleaning, ensure everyone practices hand hygiene, conduct health checks, provide ample space, and even offer a remote learning option for students when necessary. King’s Schools cares about keeping everyone safe and healthy, showing that they care about more than just schoolwork—they care about everyone’s well-being.
