COVID Mitigation Practices
December 1, 2021
Milestones Re-Entry Task Force was established in May 2020 and we meet on a weekly basis to keep our Milestones Day School community safe from the COVID-19 virus.
Here’s how we are keeping our community COVID free:
- Required vaccinations for all non-exempt staff and strongly encouraging vaccinations for eligible students
- Holding free vaccination clinics for staff, students, and family members
- Indoor masking
- Daily health attestations
- School cohorting to minimize exposure risk
- Individualized materials for students when available
- Social distancing with a minimum of 3 feet in classrooms
- Designated medical isolation room
- Full time registered nurse onsite
- Onsite flu clinic offered to staff and students
- MERV-13 air filters and increased airflow exchanges
- Frequent high touch surface cleaning
- Nightly deep cleaning and sanitization
- Hand sanitizing stations throughout the building
- Contactless faucets
- Restricted visitor policy
- Virtual team meetings and events
- Requiring highly accurate PCR tests for those that have any symptoms
- Requiring staff and students to follow the Department of Elementary and Secondary Educations (DESE) guidelines “Stay Home When Sick”
- Continuous monitoring of DESE and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s guidelines for updates and making modifications when necessary
