Thousands of students will have returned to in-person learning at Atlanta Public Schools (APS) as of February 16th after a long hiatus of virtual learning. To help make this return a little easier, Atlanta-based Zep, Inc. is contributing to APS’s comprehensive Return + Learn reopening plan.
As part of Zep’s long-standing relationship with APS, the company is supplying hand sanitizer to all APS classrooms. Zep will roll out in-classroom awareness and education tips to select schools on February 16th including Maynard Jackson High School, Emma Hutchinson Elementary School, Crawford W. Long Middle School, Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School and Frank Lebby Stanton Elementary School. Zep experts will help teach proper hand hygiene, which according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is known to reduce transmission of respiratory illnesses, like colds, in the general population by up to 21%. These schools will also be provided with back-to-school safety kits, including reusable face masks, tote bags and a postcard highlighting best practices for hand hygiene.
