What will a return to school during

the COVID-19 pandemic look like? Life during the Covid-19 pandemic is just as hard for students as it is for adults. However, it is important for schools to reopen and prepare for the consequences of this virus. Here are some tips for students to stay safe at school and when returning back home from school. Schools will only open again after making sure the environment is safe enough and after enforcing protective gear such as masks, gloves, etc. Going to a regular classroom will help students learn bet-ter and ask questions easily if they have complications in the material. However, there might be a chance where schools can open for a short period of time and close again for safety purposes. When schools do open for students, it might be different than what they were used to before. Stu-dents and teachers might be forced to keep a certain distance for their own safety. They should keep on masks and gloves at all times and wash their hands before and after eating. Schools should be able to provide hand sanitizers and Kleenex. Administrators should make ways to improve hygiene measures, hand washing, respiratory etiquette (i.e. coughing and sneezing into the elbow), physical distancing measures, cleaning procedures, and safe food preparation practices. Remember that students can feel the same stress as some adults and can cause students to not be comfortable with going back to school and that’s completely fine. These are just ways to help our-selves when they are ready and proceed with in-person education. It will take time; however, the community will provide as much as help possible to keep everyone safe and healthy.
