Aloha to our Ohana. This year planning for #BacktoSchool 🎒📝 will be very different from years past. There will be new challenges 😷, but there will also be a lot of love and support as we all band together to support our #keiki and their #education.⠀
⠀
With public schools 🍎📚 set to begin on August 17th, we would like to share a handful of tips on planning for 👩🏽‍🏫 in-person classes, 👨🏻‍💻virtual or at-home learning, and caring for the mental health 💭 and emotional wellbeing ❤️ for our keiki.⠀
⠀
Although #publicschools 📓🖍📖 on Oahu are going to begin as virtual classes, students are still being required to come on campus to meet their teachers and become acclimated with distance learning during the first week. As a result, we first would like to share a few tips on planning for In-Person Classes.⠀
⠀
1. Review and practice proper hand washing 👐🏼🧼🚿techniques at home, especially before and after eating and adjusting a mask 😷 or cloth face covering. Make hand washing fun 😊 and explain to your keiki why it’s important.⠀
⠀
2. Reinforce the concept of physical distancing with your keiki. 👧🏻↔️👦🏽⠀
⠀
3. Develop daily routines before and after school—for example, things to 🎒 pack for school in the morning (like hand sanitizer and an additional (back up) mask 😷) and things to do when you return home (like washing hands 👐🏼🧼🚿 immediately and washing masks 😷🧼🚿).⠀
⠀
4. Make sure your info is current at school, including emergency contacts 📇 and individuals authorized to pick up your keiki from school. If that list 📃 includes anyone who is at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19, consider identifying an alternate person.⠀
⠀
5. Be familiar with local 🦠 Covid-19 Testing sites in the event your keiki develops any symptoms 🤒🤧.⠀

Ton mask: What are you wearing to school? I got on my #TrueHeroShield. ...

New protective #faceshield called True Hero Shield 👨🏻‍⚕️🛡 created by Dr. T TonyTrpkovski and his brother. Dr. T spoke with khonnews about what he believes is the perfect protective device. 🎥 Watch KHON2 segment on our Facebook page (link in bio)
.
“What's needed is something to protect you from droplets,” said Dr. T. “When somebody’s talking to you or sneezing 🤧 or coughing 🗣 droplets are being spread from their mouth and their nose. And if you don’t have eye protection or face protection it’s going to get into your mouth and your eyes and you’ll get infected”.
.
Which is the very reason he and his brother developed the True Hero Shield. “It’s a nice plastic, #medicalgrade and when you put it on in you’re protected and ready to go. Very simple not too expensive”.
.
Dr. T says he and his brother designed the shields here in Hawaii just two weeks ago. They’re already being manufactured in Jamestown, New York at a rate of 60,000 shields 🛡🛡🛡every single day.
.
“I’ve already given them to one of our local hospitals that are using them in the ER. And I’m going to be #donating more. I’m trying to get them the protection they need and make it high-quality #protection”.
.
Dr. T says getting these shields in the hands of #healthcare professionals and #firstresponders in his first priority, but he also believes it’s something that everybody could use. "Yeah you can wear a mask 😷 and you can wear a shield 🛡 and you have the best way to protect yourself. And protect it from all sides which is the true hero shield That’s what we call it. If somebody sneezes or coughs on me it’s going to hit the shield first. And if I have a mask  I’m double protected”.
.
He says it’s easy to breathe, doesn’t get hot or fog up, and is one size fits all. “I really think this will help. The more people have protection and more of the community will be less exposed. 🚨The shields 🛡 are available online at 📲 TrueHeroShield.com. They are available in 15 count or 100 count boxes. Due to unprecedented demand, they are selling only by the box, not individually. Thank you for your understanding. 🚨 #TrueHeroShield #DoctorsofWaikiki 🌴🛡👨🏻‍⚕️🛡🌴 ...
