- The following two communications were sent to BSS’ and POS’ from Custodial Operations:
- Greetings,
As we draw nearer to the next school opening phase, checking to make sure your campus is safe, sanitized and secure is of the utmost importance. Having the required PPE, barriers, handwashing stations, hand sanitizer dispensers, air purifiers, cleaning products, consumable supplies (soap, TP and PT), COVID signage, completion of site water flushing, and completion of the required annual notification training are all critical in meeting the requirements set forth by our district.
I’ve attached the Standard Operating Procedure #31 for instructional purposes for flushing drinking water outlets at your school sites. Please read this email and the attachment in its entirety and share with your staff. Water flushing is an important task that must be performed regularly for safety purposes. Once again, preparing our sites for the next phase is critical and you and your staff are essential in ensuring safe, sanitized and secure campuses for all. Thank you for your attention to this important matter, and your efforts are much appreciated. If you have questions or concerns, please contact your area CSS for support.
- Greetings,
Next week some time you should be receiving additional replacement filters for your air purifiers via distribution. Please store these additional filters in a safe and secure indoor location. Your air purifiers require regular maintenance to help ensure that they are operating adequately and efficiently. Each unit you received included four carbon filters and one HEPA filter. The pre-filters should be checked on a regular basis for cleanliness. Once a month they should be removed and washed with soap and water; air dried and reinstalled. The carbon filters are to be replaced every three months. The HEPA filter is to be replaced once a year. To keep track of when these cleanings and replacements were completed, please place a posted note on the unit identifying the appropriate service and the date performed (strongly advised).
I have once again included the instructional video along with a spreadsheet for recording the servicing of these units. The spreadsheet can be used electronically or printed out for manual use. Please watch and share the video and spreadsheet with your administrator and custodial staff. It is a requirement that all staff be trained on proper servicing procedures and guidelines. Make it a priority to service all units this month and every following month in preparation for students and staff returning. Please see pictures and video link below. (NOTE: The "pictures" mentioned here could not be copied into this AASD Daily Update.)
Custodial Services is once again working together to provide safe, sanitized and secure campuses for everyone. Thank you for leading the efforts in providing quality customer service. You are appreciated!
- Pre-Filter – Check Weekly, Wash Monthly
- Carbon Filter – Replaced every 90 days
- HEPA Filter – Replaced annually
