Covid-19 Protocol Reminders for STUDENTS
Do not let up on our Covid Protocols! Do not start to slip and think 'this is no big deal'. Now is the time to tighten up as we work to bring Nantucket out of the Red into the Yellow.
Please remind students to wear masks throughout the building. If you see someone in the hall not wearing a mask, please address it and say something.
Please remind students to socially distance.
Please remind students to keep their spacing.
Sticking to our protocols is even more important now as we sit on the eve of bringing in 30-45 more students in each grade-level in Cohorts B and C. These are students who haven't been in the building since last March. Students will need to be shown the protocols. It will feel like DAY 1 all over again.
