Covid-19 Response Plan

For the 2021-2022 school year, we are implementing additional health and safety measures, in compliance with local, state, and federal law, including but not limited to:

• Increased daily handwashing procedures;

• Regular deep-cleaning of surfaces;

• Self-checks for symptoms of illness, including at-home temperature checks;  

• Masking of adults and 4+ year old children, as required by law;

• Gloves worn by staff and volunteers during potty training assistance and diaper changes;

• Disposable changing table liners; and

• Social distancing during check-in and check-out procedures.

 

Please note, our school closure and / or quarantine policy has changed for 2021-22.  In the event of any positive or close contact cases, the school’s families will be notified via email and directions for further action, if any, will be provided.  Meadowbrook Congregational Church, our landlords, will also be informed.  Individuals will not be identified by name, for his / her privacy.

 

(A) If one child or recent adult volunteer tests positive for COVID-19:

• S/he is asked to remain home from school for 5 days after positive test day (called Day 0).  S/he can return to school on Day 6, wearing a close-fitting face mask, if s/he is symptom free and fever free for at least 24 hours.  

 

• A mask must be worn at school on Days 6-10.  Children who are unable to wear a mask must remain home until Day 10, and symptoms (including fever) are resolved.
