Questions and Answers

What protocols are followed when someone tests positive for Covid?

Meadowbrook follows these protocols, which were developed with guidance from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, the CDC, and our consulting physician. If you have any questions about these protocols, please contact the Health Office. 

Who is required to be vaccinated?

Faculty, students, and all visitors are required to be vaccinated.

If you need to request a religious or medical exemption, please reach out to School Nurse Christina Donovan via email: cdonovan@meadowbrook-ma.org.

How does Covid-19 testing work?

Meadowbrook uses rapid antigen test, a simple, minimally invasive, nasal swab. Most students are able to swab themselves. Testing is for symptomatic students or faculty only as deemed necessary by our health staff; we do not do asymptomatic testing. 

 

Are there remote learning options?

No. All instruction takes place on campus. For students who need to be out due to Covid, teachers will send assignments home and post updates online.

Are parents/guardians able to enter the school buildings? What about other visitors?

Fully vaccinated visitors are welcome to visit Meadowbrook. No proof of vaccination is required.

Will the school offer Covid-19 vaccine and/or flu clinics?

We've been pleased to offer several clinics for Covid-19 vaccines for children and adults over the past year. Since Covid and flu vaccines are now widely available at pharmacies and pediatricians' offices, we have no plans to offer additional clinics at this time.
