A Message Regarding COVID-19

At this time, Rainbow Montessori does not plan to close in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are following guidance from both the County Public Health department and from state licensing, and are continually monitoring both sources for any changes. While open, we will continue to take measures to ensure the health and safety of all children, staff, and parents of our school.

In addition, we will begin a deep cleaning of all carpets on campus starting early next week, possibly this weekend, depending on the availability of our cleaning staff. Please note that if your child is sick, they should stay home. We will continue to conduct health assessments of all children in our care, and will send home any child with symptoms, including but not limited to fever, shortness of breath, excessive coughing and sneezing, and respiratory problems. In addition, teachers and staff with any fever and/or respiratory symptoms are being advised not to come to work. Teachers and staff will self-screen (i.e., check themselves for subjective fever and/or respiratory symptoms such as cough) for symptoms each morning before interacting with students.

In addition, the following precautionary measures are being taken in the K - 6 program:

• March 16th - March 27th will be non-academic. Parents who are working from home or who have a support system to fall back on are strongly urged to keep their children home
• Spring Break will now be March 23rd to March 27th in order to accommodate for changed schedules
• April 13th - April 17th will be an academic period, to make up for any missed curriculum
• End of Trimester will be extended to June 26th to make up for missed lessons
• SAT’s are being postponed until further notice
• Enrollment submission dates will be announced at a future time

This situation will be reevaluated in the case of a confirmed case of COVID-19 being identified at the school.

Sincerely,

Rainbow Montessori Administration Staff
