Subject: Custodial update! (9/29/20)
Greetings,
As we continue to draw closer to a phase one reopening, I want to thank everyone for following through with the ongoing changes and requirements. Looking forward it’s possible that a phase one reopening could occur sometime in October. There are many aspects concerning a possible return that need to be in place before the actual return of in-person learning.
You should have received a delivery of air purifier units for your individual sites. These units will be an important aspect needed to augment air filtration levels. Direction has or will be given on the placement of these units in particular spaces. Please do not place the units in spaces unless you are directed to do so. I’ve attached a video link that explains the use and maintenance of the air purifiers. Please note that units that have been in use since delivery will need to be serviced by cleaning, drying, and reinstalling the pre-filters starting October 2, 2020. Please use your existing site equipment in servicing the units, knowing that essential equipment shown in the video has been ordered for all sites along with additional pre-filters for change out purposes. These items will be distributed as they arrive.
Annual Employee Notifications have been sent out to all district employees for training purposes. It is mandated and required that all district employees complete the required training. Please take the opportunity to complete this training as soon as possible, providing a printed and initialed certificate of completion to your area CSS. You will need to log on to your district email address. If you currently don’t have one or you are having difficulties accessing your email. Please contact IT help desk at 619-209-HELP (4357). In addition, if you have yet to complete the “Ladder Safety” training with your staff, please do so and submit provided sign-in sheet to your CSS for verification.
Thank you once again for all your hard work and efforts and recently it was stated that the custodial department as a whole has received many accolades from principals and District Leadership for the outstanding job in regards to cleaning, disinfecting and getting each site ready for the welcoming back of students, staff, parents and the general community. You are appreciated!
