The goal is to create a safe and healthy environment for staff and students to limit the risk of exposure to COVID-19 and implement safety measures as suggested by the Academy Medical Director, CDC, and the Maryland Department of Health and Hygiene.

IMPORTANT HIGHLIGHTS

• Safe indoor space with large garage doors providing open air ventilation and new large circulating fans

• A limited number of students will be maintained for all clinics
• The sharing of objects and/or equipment will be minimized
• Social distancing will be encouraged and monitored
• Cleaning and disinfecting of frequently touched surfaces
• We encourage everyone to bring their own water
• We recommend that parents and legal guardians of high-risk students consult with their child’s medical provider to assess their risk and determine if clinic attendance is acceptable
• It is up to each parent/guardian to supply a face covering or mask. Staff and students will wear face coverings during activities, when it is not feasible to maintain physical distancing
• Masks are required when entering or exiting the building
• Hand sanitizing products will be available and easily accessible for all students
• All staff have completed training in aspects of COVID-19 and are prepared with the CDC protocols and safety procedures
