Salisbury R-IV School District, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, will close school following Spring Break on Monday, March 23rd thru Friday, April 3rd. Beginning Wed. March 18th, all school activities, including athletic and extra-curricular practices and competitions, will be canceled during the time school is closed. We are planning to return to our regular schedule on Monday, April 6th. We will continue to seek guidance from the county and state health departments in the event the closure should extend past April 6th. The deep cleaning and sanitation process in all district buildings will continue during the closure. Please follow the advice of our health officials. Practice proper hand washing and social distancing. Thank you for your continued support.

March 13, 2020 Salisbury R-IV Students, Parents, Guardians and Staff, The Salisbury R-IV School District values the health and well-being of our students, staff, and visitors. I am providing an update regarding our efforts to ensure the health and safety of our students, staff and visitors in regards to the flu season which has affected our area of the state in recent weeks as well as the new COVID 19 virus known as Coronavirus. We continue to focus on the guidance supplied by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. The district is closely monitoring the current situation and reviewing rapidly changing information from state health, education, and government officials regarding the Coronavirus. Coronavirus is a respiratory illness with symptoms that include shortness of breath, fever, and cough. The CDC reports symptoms can appear anywhere from two to 14 days after exposure. As a reminder, please do not send your child to school if they are feeling sick. If your child is sick, please keep them home until he/she is fever-free for 24 hours without medication. We urge all families to continue the practice of maintaining healthy behaviors necessary during any cold and flu season. These include but are not limited to: Wash hands frequently with soap and water; Use alcohol-based hand cleaner if soap and water are not available; Cover nose and mouth with a sleeve or a tissue when coughing or sneezing; Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth to prevent the spread of germs; Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and objects, such as toys and doorknobs, especially if someone is sick; and stay home when you are sick. We will do our best to provide you with information in as timely a manner as possible. The Salisbury R-IV School District will be on Spring Break the week of March 16th-20th. Our maintenance staff will be doing a deep cleaning and disinfecting of all classrooms and all parts of the buildings while we are on break. Classes are scheduled, as of today, to resume on March 23rd. We are emphasizing with our team the importance for flexibility as nothing is set in stone with this illness and the direction from the national and state health organizations are constantly shifting. We are in the process of reviewing plans for a variety of scenarios. Speculation could lead to misinformation so I will refrain from that at this time. We must be prepared for anything. The Chariton County Health Department and State Government officials are also providing guidance. Please keep in mind our schools not only serve students, but we are also a hub for many community activities. To get the latest updates on the Coronavirus, please see the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/index.html Here is more information on the Coronavirus from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS): https://health.mo.gov/living/healthcondiseases/communicable/novel-coronavirus/ Also, the DHSS has activated a statewide public hotline: 887-435-8411 for citizens or providers needing guidance regarding COVID-19. It is operated by medical professionals and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please feel free to contact Central Office, your building administration or our school nurse with any further questions regarding the flu season and Coronavirus updates. Sincerely, Troy Clawson Superintendent Salisbury R-IV School District
