Covid-19 Action Plan

At MCA, we are committed to offering as much of a normal environment to our students as possible while remaining mindful of their health and safety as well as that of our staff. Full in-person instruction has been offered since the first day of school without any positive Covid-19 cases. We will continue to monitor the spread of the virus in Montgomery County following these reasonable and appropriate guidelines:

Deep-cleaning and sanitizing of all buildings on campus will be carried out on a regular basis throughout the school year.
Cleaning and sanitizing will continue nightly throughout the school year.
Temperatures will be checked upon arrival. Any temperature over 100.4 will be sent home immediately.
Parent and visitor entrance into buildings will be strictly limited.
When parents or visitors must enter the building, they are not permitted to have direct/close contact with staff or students.
Students and staff with fever will be required to stay home until fever-free for 72 hours.
Confirmed cases of COVID-19 will be required to stay home until a doctor's release is provided.
Students and staff will be allowed to wear a mask if they prefer (subject to change, based on recent mandates.)
Teachers and staff will be teaching and reinforcing important hygiene protocols including regular hand washing, avoiding hand-to-face contact, and covering coughs and sneezes.
Multiple hand sanitizing stations will be available in all buildings.
Students will not share personal school supplies, and shared objects will be limited as much as possible.
Any shared equipment will be sanitized between uses (PE, recess, art, etc.)
