Dear Parents:
You have read and heard, no doubt, about the outbreak of Coronavirus in the Peoples Republic of China which has resulted in documented cases in several other countries including the U.S.A.

Alabama Waldorf School receives infectious disease information from a variety of sources including The Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and The Southeastern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS).

The health and safety of our school community is our top priority. Current information suggests 'watchfulness but not alarm.'

Experts suggest frequent handwashing as the best defense against both Coronovirus and the flu. While there is no vaccine for this brand new Coronavirus, the flu vaccine is still available and recommended by the ADPH and the CDC.

The State Department has issued a level 3 (reconsider travel) advisory for China and a level 4 (do not travel) for Hubei Province. We would appreciate an email notification if your family has returned from China since January 1 or has a trip planned to China in 2020.

Please don’t hesitate to call on us at 205.592.0541 if you have questions or concerns about Coronavirus.

Thank you,
Lisa Grupe, Ph.D.
Director
