September 3rd, 2020
Hello Bruin Families!
As you have all seen in Principal Ostertag’s letter, we have been ordered by the Cincinnati
Health Department, Hamilton Public Health, and Ohio Department of Health to quarantine
one of our classrooms due to this heinous virus. We are praying for negative results of our
pending cases, in the meantime this is our best and safest option to keep our school
healthy.
Now, more than ever, do we need help with encouraging your kiddos to not only wear the
masks, but properly. I have attached a handout regarding donning and doffing a facial mask
appropriately - please print it out or read over it and help us practice with your children in
order to promote safety and wellness.
Hand washing is still a major factor in this fight against COVID-19. In my letter last week, I
mentioned that this virus is covered in a fat layer. This fat layer is easily broken down by
cleaners and soaps of all kinds, it is with time the virus breaks down, however. 20 full
seconds is a sufficient amount of time to scrub hands, and about 3 mins of a spray cleaner
will help break this virus down and eliminate it from the surface.
Finally, distance does not have to be a social dilemma! I would much rather use the term
physical distancing, than social distancing. We encourage virtual playdates and inclusive,
safe gaming (yes, video games!). Increase the family dinner nights and talk with your
children on how this pandemic has affected them mentally and emotionally. If ever you are
in need of resources for mental health, we are here to help! Please send us an email or give
us a call, and we can assist.
I pray you all stay safe and healthy this week! Our goal is to stay as transparent with you as
possible, with consideration in the privacy of others. We appreciate your understanding and
cannot wait to have our classroom back from quarantine!
In health and wellness,
Kate Gross BSN, RN

Coronavirus Disease 2019
Don-Doff Mask Procedure for Schools
The use of cloth facemasks/coverings in the school setting is just one step to stop the spread of COVID-19. The majority of school
personnel and students have not had the experience of wearing a facemask/covering in the past, so guidance is needed for
appropriate use.
REMEMBER: Wearing a cloth facemask/covering is how you are a good neighbor to others. A face mask/covering helps you keep from
sharing your germs with others so that they do not get sick.
How to use cloth facemasks/coverings in the school setting
Wearing cloth facemasks/coverings is an important way to stop the spread of COVID-19. However, to be effective, they must be used
properly. Instructions to do that are included here.
In general, there are two types of cloth facemasks/coverings. While the part that covers
the face is similar, some cloth facemasks/coverings are held in pace by ear loops, while
others have straps that are tied behind the head. Look for a cloth facemask/covering that
has multiple layers of fabric, allows breathing without restriction, and can be machine
washed and dried without damage or changing the shape.
No matter which style of cloth facemask/covering used, it should fit snugly but
comfortably against the sides of the face, must be fitted over the nose, cover
the chin, and across the cheeks toward the ears. It must cover the mouth and
nose with no gaps between the face and the cloth facemask/covering.
Cloth facemasks/coverings have a “clean” side and a “dirty” side. The “clean”
side is the side that is next to the face. The “dirty” side is the one that faces
outward. Depending on the type of cloth facemasks/coverings in use, consider
placing a mark (e.g., initials) or decoration on the “dirty” side to identify which
side is which. Always assume a cloth facemask/covering during and after use
is “dirty” or contaminated with COVID-19, even if it does not appear soiled. Always wash hands for 20 seconds with soap and water or
use hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol before and after putting on and removing a cloth facemask/covering.
Putting on your cloth facemask/covering Otherwise known as “donning”
1. Wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
2. Grasp the cloth facemask/covering and pinch it at the ear loops or grasp the upper ties.
a. For ear-loop-style, secure the ear loops behind the ears.

Updated 8-25-2020
b. For tie-back-style, secure the upper ties on upper portion of the back of your head first, then secure the
lower ties behind your head or neck.
3. Adjust the cloth facemask/covering so that it is snug below the eyes, across the nose and cheeks, and reaches
underneath the chin. If it has metal at the bridge of the nose, crimp that so it is secure.
4. Do not touch the cloth facemask/covering while you are wearing it or your eyes, nose, or mouth. If you do, wash
your hands or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
5. Wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer after donning.
Taking off your cloth facemask/covering Otherwise known as “doffing”
1. Wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
2. Do not touch the “dirty” side of the cloth facemask/covering or your eyes, nose, or mouth.
3. For ear-loop-style, slowly remove ear loops from behind the ears, touching only the loops.
4. For tie-back-style, undo the lower ties first and the upper ties last. Do not let the ties fall into the “clean” side of the
mask. Touch only the ties.
5. Place the cloth facemask/covering in a bag to be washed or throw it away in a covered trash container. If re-using
the cloth facemask/covering, wash it after each use with regular detergent and warm/hot water. Dry it thoroughly in
the dryer. 6. Wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer after doffing.
If you must immediately re-use your cloth facemask/covering You may need to remove a cloth facemask/covering briefly (e.g., to take a drink, eat lunch) and then re-use it. Best practice is to use a new cloth facemask/covering, but if you cannot, follow these instructions. Replace the container in #4 below daily.
1. Wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
2. Remove your cloth facemask/covering as above.
3. Holding the cloth facemask/covering by the ear loops or straps, fold it in half so that the “dirty” side is inside the fold.
4. Place the cloth facemask/covering in a plastic zip bag or a paper bag. Place your name or initials on the container
so you only use your own.
5. Wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
6. Conduct the activity that required you to remove your cloth facemask/covering.
7. Wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
8. Holding it by the ear loops or ties, remove the cloth facemask/covering from the container with your name or initials.
9. Using the marking on the “dirty” side of the cloth facemask/covering as a guide, unfold it, still only touching the ear
loops or straps.
10. Carefully place the “clean” side of the cloth facemask/covering against your face, avoiding touching your eyes, nose
and mouth. Position and secure in place using the ear loops or straps.
11. Wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Dos and don’ts of wearing your cloth facemask/covering
1. DO always wear your cloth facemask/covering so that your nose, mouth, and chin are covered.
2. DO keep your hands off the cloth facemask/covering while you are wearing it.
![Page 6: THE BRUIN BULLETIN · 9/6/2015 · Thanks in advance for your help! Mrs. Rollinger Picture Day Picture Day for all students and staff will be on Tuesday, September 17th. Order forms](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071507/612828f40526e57cb66cf9c2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Updated 8-25-2020
3. DO use appropriate devices to improve comfort if necessary. For instance, for
people with hearing aids wearing a mask with elastic ear loops, the elastic may
become uncomfortable after a period of time. To reduce this discomfort, consider
using a device at the back of the head to hold the elastic ear loops away from the
ear/hearing aid. You can use devices specifically made for this purpose or may use
something like inexpensive hair barrettes (shown here). Make sure the wearer can
pull the mask down and away from the face in case of emergency.
4. DO be prepared to help students or others with donning and doffing face coverings.
If you need to assist another person, with your own face covering in place, wash
your hands for 20 seconds with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
a. Approach the person you are assisting from behind.
b. Ask them to hold their clean facemask/covering in place over their own
nose, mouth and chin.
c. Grasp the elastic ear loops or straps and put them in place.
d. If using a device as described in #3 above, put that in place. Assure that the person can pull the mask
down and away from the face if necessary.
e. Use a similar process to assist someone to doff the cloth facemask/covering.
f. After assisting someone, wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand
sanitizer.
5. DON’T cut holes in your cloth facemask/covering or wear it below your nose.
6. DON’T let the cloth facemask/covering dangle by its straps or elastic either from an ear, on top of the head, under
the chin, or down on your chest.
7. DON’T apply the mask so tightly that it cannot be easily removed in case of emergency.
