COVID Guidelines 23-24 School Year
As of March 25, 2024, the Department of Public Health has released new guidance for COVID-19. MPS has adjusted our policy to follow the current recommendations found here under "School and Childcare Settings." Details can be found at this link: Staying home to prevent the spread of respiratory viruses | Mass.gov.
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.
