Communicable Diseases
Schools have an important role in communicable disease prevention and notification. At FCUSD, it is our responsibility to maintain a clean and hygienic environment to minimize the risk of infectious diseases spreading. This includes regular cleaning of surfaces, providing handwashing stations and promoting healthy behaviors such as covering one's mouth when coughing or sneezing.
