Coronavirus Update

Here are some of the steps we've taken as a result of COVID-19:

1. The school's wifi has had a major upgrade to improve Zoom lessons for faculty offering both face-to-face and online lessons from their studio.
2. Each studio is equipped with a Zoom station for effective online lessons.
3. Each studio has acrylic shields and a disinfectant station to enhance safety.
4. Each studio is arranged to improve social distancing.

The Dubuque County Health Department and City of Dubuque Health Services Department encourage residents to rely on information regarding COVID-19 from the IDPH and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention. 

They also recommend individual residents take these action steps:

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol if soap and water are not available.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Avoid close contact (at least 6 feet distance) with people who are sick or experiencing respiratory symptoms such as cough
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your mouth with your upper arm or tissue when coughing or sneezing.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
• Take social distancing measures. Restrict where and when you gather with others.
