1. Frequently cleaning classroom desks, common areas and cafeteria tables with disinfecting wipes or soap and water
2. Spraying an aerosol disinfectant to help clean classrooms
3. Continuously disinfecting door handles, locker handles/locks and restrooms (walls, floors and plumbing fixtures)
4. Placing hand sanitizer dispensers at all classroom entrances
