WHAT IS CORONAVIRUS?

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that usually cause mild respiratory illnesses such as the common cold. This strain of the virus, COVID-19 is a disease caused by a new coronavirus that was not identified in humans before December 2019. Patients with COVID-19 have had mild to severe respiratory illness with symptoms of fever, cough, and shortness of breath. It takes 2 to 14 days after a person gets the virus in their body to become ill. COVID-19 is spread from person to person via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes, similar to how flu and other respiratory pathogens spread. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. With most respiratory viruses, people are thought to be most contagious when they are most symptomatic (the sickest).

OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM HOKE COUNTY SCHOOLS REGARDING COVID-19

On Tuesday, March 10, Governor Roy Cooper declared a state of emergency in North Carolina to help limit the spread of COVID-19, also known as coronavirus. A state of emergency will allow government officials to take additional measures to protect the public. It will also have an immediate effect on our school district.Effective immediately and until further notice, Hoke County Schools will take the following precautions to protect the health, safety and well-being of our students, staff, and community:· All out-of-state field trips and travel by students and staff have been cancelled. · All out-of-district field trips and travel by students and staff have been cancelled.· All field trips within Hoke County have been cancelled.· Travel by students and staff to in-state sports competitions will continue, subject to guidance from the North Carolina High School Athletic Association.· All district-level events, including STEM Competition, Special Olympics, and High School Prom, have been cancelled until further notice.· School events held on school campus will continue at the principal’s discretion.Based on recommendations from state officials, our schools will remain open as we continue to monitor this situation. We will continue to remind our school community that the best ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19 are the same preventions that are recommended for the spread of the flu and common cold. We encourage students, staff, and school visitors to follow proper hand washing and sanitation practices to prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses. These guidelines are subject to change based on updates from local and state health officials. Information about COVID-19 is developing quickly and the CDC continues to share new updates. We encourage staff and families to visit the CDC website for the most accurate and timely information about the virus.

FIELD TRIP REFUNDS

All field trips for Hoke County students have been cancelled. This decision was made after considering Governor Cooper's Executive Order declaring a State of Emergency due to COVID-19, as well as considering the health risks associated with travel. The health and safety of our students and staff are our top priority. However, we also understand that our families have invested their money into paying for these field trips. Our schools are working diligently with the travel companies to get refunds for our families. At this time, we cannot guarantee that all students will receive refunds, but we are doing all we can. This process will take time and our schools will update parents as they receive more information about refunds for specific field trips.
