The 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is an unprecedented event that has impacted every part of the globe. Pennsylvania has taken equally unprecedented measures to save lives and ensure the safety of its citizens. As the global spread of COVID-19 continues to evolve, Avon Grove Charter School is committed to ensuring the safety, security, and wellness of our students and staff. We remain vigilant in our efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and strongly encourage our families to follow good hygiene practices and to reinforce them with their children.
In preparation for the 2020-2021 school year, we have been in continuous contact with the Chester County Health Department, Chester County Intermediate Unit, and a wide variety of other government, educational, and health agencies. We worked diligently this summer to develop plans for moving Forward Together safely, while providing an outstanding education for our students. Please download and review these plans for all of the details you'll need for the coming school year.
We're surrounded by an overwhelming amount of information about the global pandemic – the news, social media, emails – pretty much everywhere you look! These are some of the websites and informational flyers that we've found helpful in navigating COVID-19.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is one of the major operating components of the Federal Department of Health and Human Services. This website offers unbiased, up-to-the-minute information about the COVID-19 pandemic.
The CDC has prepared a variety of one-page information flyers that provide you with concise information that's easy to relate to your children.
CDC has produced a series of factsheets for young adults, ages 15-21. The factsheets cover a variety of topics, including what test results mean, how to stay safe at the pool or beach, how to wear a face covering and other preventive measures.
Our state's website has information for schools, children, travelers, older adults, communities, and organizations. They also post frequently updated data and graphs for Pennsylvania.
