Delaware Division for Public Health School Updates
Last week, Dana Carr, the DPH liaison with Delaware independent and Catholic schools met with heads of schools sharing information about COVID-19 and the strategies used to keep us all as safe as possible. The meeting served as a reminder of the mitigation strategies we continue to follow daily:
- Face coverings must be worn at all times when on the WMS campus (for all adults and students in the 3-6 Program and older).
- Social distancing must be maintained at all times
- Students and adults must remain in their assigned cohorts as much as possible.
- Health status must be checked daily - for both students and staff.
- Spend as much time outside as possible.
- Cleaning and disinfecting must happen regularly as established by licensing and WMS protocols.
- Adequate ventilation must be maintained at all times. Windows will be open throughout the year if we are inside the building with the goal of maintaining air flow. In addition, we have upgraded our HVAC filters to MERV 13 air filters.
All of these strategies are enforced at WMS at all times, with the standards either met or exceeded.
