We will remain a resource to our students and community. The Coronavirus (COVID-19) is affecting everyone in unfortunate and unpredictable ways. We will be keeping a running list here of essential resources that students and their families might need.
FOOD
CHS Families Pantry Pickup & Go
We know that many of our families rely on school meals for their children. We will be offering Pickup & Go Pantry items to be picked up in the Compass High School front office throughout this pandemic. Please call to schedule a pantry pickup during normal business hours.
Items may include dry beans, rice, chips and other pantry items. Families do not need to register for meals and there will be no income requirements. Please observe social distancing guidelines while picking up items.

HEALTH
Prevention
CDC tips to protect yourself, your peers and family:
- Wash your hands often. If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
- Avoid touching your face. Your eyes, nose and mouth are common entry points for germs.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Also, be more restrained in workplace physical interactions (e.g., consider skipping handshakes).
- Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. Use a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands).
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces. At work, think about desks, computer mice and keyboards, thermoses, telephones and cell phones, and door handles.
Visit the CDC’s Preventing COVID-19 Spread in Communities webpage for comprehensive information.
