The PTA hosted a fundraiser effort in October 2020 and a Winix C545 air purifier was purchased for classrooms (that did not already have one).  We continue to help maintain these to make our school healthier for students and staff.

If you would like more information on air quality, you will find a few links below that describe these in detail. In particular, https://www.montanawildfiresmoke.org

particles, we believe these air purifiers will help increase the safety of our schools.

For Staff:

Please turn on these purifiers when you arrive at school each day. They should be located close to you & your students, and can be left on all day, and can be turned off when you are leaving for the day. We also recommend that you use the setting of 3 or 4 instead of leaving the setting on “auto”. This will help to make sure your classroom air is routinely cycled through the filter.  The C545 manual can be referenced for more information.

What to do if you have problems or need help cleaning & changing the filters, please contact parent volunteer, Cindy Leary, at cindyslearyATgmail.com, or the Paxson PTA.
