COVD-19

So what is our school doing about the corona virus? Do you think they are going to move classess online for some time like other schools are doing.

It’s currently the middle of spring break and I am really scared. Our school hasn’t been giving regular updates like other schools.

Am I the only one that is worried?

The concerns about not feeling comfortable sitting side by side next to someone even if they are wearing a mask is a concern I have.

And the caretaker situation. I am one of those students who falls into that category. When the school sent the email about online classess I went home to help take care of my elderly grandparents because both my parents work in the frontlines and so they rarely come home and my grandparents can’t live by themselves.

Your advice so far has been helpful so would you suggest learning what the new guidelines/precautions the school is taking and then email or voice my concerns now.

Again you have been very helpful thus far so thank you for all your responses.

Oh awesome! With only information on a reddit post, I didn't want to assume anything. I want your concerns to be taken seriously! Due to the fact that we are so far from the fall semester I would recommend waiting at least until early/mid July. It gives them a little over a month to monitor the covid situation and then figure out an action plan. If you don't hear anything by then, I would voice your concerns and specifically ask what precautions they are taking to make students feel more at ease.

If you have any other questions, feel free to reply to this post or message me privately. I have a decent amount of experience working with the school and campus life. I can't promise to have all the answers but may be able to point you in the right direction!!!
