MPS Nut and Food Allergy Guidance
Covid-19 Information December 2022
Please see this link from MA DESE for details on COVID testing in schools. MPS will not be regularly providing in school testing or supplying at home kits as these programs are no longer offered at no cost from the state.
Please see this link for quarantine and isolation guidelines. In regards to schools, MA DPH states "These settings are not required to conduct contact tracing as a standard practice, but must continue to work with their Local Board of Health in the case of outbreaks“.
The joint early childhood & K-12 guidance for students and staff has also been updated to reflect the updated CDC guidance on exposure and isolation in these settings. K-12 guidance differs from the guidance for general public. Please see this link for back to school isolation and quarantine rules.
With many tools now available for reducing COVID-19 severity, such as availability of vaccine, boosters, and treatment, there is significantly less risk of severe illness, hospitalization and death compared to earlier in the pandemic. CDC has updated its guidance for people who know they have been exposed to COVID-19.
This guidance is further acknowledgment that, while COVID-19 is still with us, for a majority of people, COVID-19 no longer severely disrupts their daily lives.
School Health Offices
In order to insure adherence to Massachusetts immunization requirements, monitoring of infections and other diseases are important functions of the school nurse. The nurse works with parents, administrators, school staff, primary care providers, local and regional Boards of Health, school physicians and others to maintain a healthy school environment. Upon recommendation to administration, students may be excluded from school if immunizations are not up to date or if a student has a communicable disease such as chicken pox, pertussis, scabies or conjunctivitis.
