Due to recent awareness of infectious diseases, Harvard Public School is providing reliable websites to collect more information for our school community. Here is some health and safety information to inform parents, patrons, and supporters of our district regarding health and safety related to the Coronavirus. We have been working with the Clay County Emergency Manager on details of the situation in the area and are doing what we can to best prevent the spread of any flu throughout our building. Our custodial staff does a tremendous job at keeping our building clean and will be disinfecting even more during this time.

Tip: If someone in your family is feeling physically or mentally unwell, but you don’t want to go to a crowded clinic, call and ask about the availability of telehealth services. You may be able to see a health provider from home via the internet. Just make sure to check with your insurance provider regarding coverage for these services first.
