MRSA

The safety and well being of our students is always a priority. The attachment with this memo provides facts about MRSA, its prevention and treatment, and responsibilities of the school dealing with MRSA. Please have a conversation with all student-athletes about MRSA as soon as possible.

Please remember that the coach of each team is responsible to ensure the following:

* Practice and game facilities are clean. PIAA guidelines for proper cleaning during equipment-intense sports can be found at: http://www.piaa.org/assets/web/documents/NFHS_MRSA.pdf

* All clothing for competition and practice needs to be cleaned daily

* Student-athletes need to be reminded not to share personal and skin care items, such as towels, T-shirts, and razors.

* Current PIAA comprehensive physical examinations need to be on file. If a student is not feeling well, encourage him/her to see the school nurse.

Staff from the School District of Philadelphia Office of Specialized Instructional Services/School Health are available to provide up to date information about MRSA.  Should you have any questions, please contact our office at 215.400.4190 or contact the Philadelphia Department of Public Health at 215.685.6740.
