Responsible Charger Promise

Responsible Charger Promise

During this challenging and stressful time when there are differences of opinion as to what is safe and what protects others, it is incumbent that we have a unified standard. The Responsible Charger Promise speaks to us as a community of learners supporting and respecting one another. The Promise is a promise of actions and commitments for the care and safety of others, as well as oneself in the prevention of COVID-19 transmission. As a member of the Columbia State community, you are asked to abide by and encourage others to endorse the Responsible Charger Promise tenets:

• Show patience and understanding knowing that it is a stressful time and I will make every effort to be a part of the solution.
• Consider wearing a mask in buildings regardless of vaccination status.
• Consider staying home if I exhibit any symptoms that may be COVID-19 related or my temperature is at 100.4 or greater.
• Practice daily self-care, proper handwashing, and respiratory etiquette.
• Avoid crowded places and avoid mass gatherings.
