Covid-19 Regulations
All students are required to wear a medical, KN95 or N95 mask throughout the school day, except while eating.

Masks

Students must also take the following precautions when wearing their masks:
-
Ensure that the mask is placed over the mouth, nose, and chin.
-
Ear loops should be used to keep the mask secured.
-
The masks should not be pulled down to speak.
-
If a mask becomes wet or dirty, it should be replaced.
-
Disposable masks should be discarded after the first wearing.
-
Hands must be washed thoroughly with soap and water throughout the day.
What happens if a student tests positive for Covid-19?
In an effort to keep the school community safe, all Takoma Academy reported cases of Covid-19 will be shared with families, students, and staff. Parents are strongly encouraged to communicate with the Principal regarding their child’s exposure to the Covid-19 virus.
Based on the recommendations of the CDC and Maryland Department of Health, a student who tests positive for COVID-19 must be quarantined for 5 days. The first quarantine day is the day after a student experiences symptoms or a test has been completed.
What are the requirements for returning to school?
If on day 6 the student continues to experience symptoms or has a fever, the student must remain at home until all symptoms subside. A negative rapid Covid-19 test must be submitted for re-entry.
