COVID-19 Family Resource Page

Across the school and throughout our community we continue to instill and follow health and wellness best practices across campus, which include:
 

• Reminding those who are sick to remain at home. Mead School’s policy is that students and faculty should remain fever-free (without medication) for 24 hours before returning to school. 
   
• We encourage best practices to reduce spread of germs. Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds (sing Happy Birthday twice), or use an alcohol-based hand rub that contains at least 60% alcohol. 
   
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
   
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
   
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, throw the tissue away, then wash your hands.
   
• Cough or sneeze into your elbow if a tissue is not available.
   
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
   
• Recommending enough rest for students and adults.
   
• Encouraging people to understand the facts.
   
• Remember that the virus is not specific to any single race or origin. Discouraging stigma is important. See more here.
