Updates from our
Head of School
Hello Marblehead Community Charter Families,

It's spring at MCCPS and the energy level is buzzing. It is wonderful to have most of our students back at the school. This week had a first week of school feel. On Monday we will have our first in-person learning Monday of the year, so everyone that is coming back for in-person learning will be back full time next week. It is super exciting and giant step forward for our community.

Next week, as we normally do at the start of a new school year, we will have school picture day(s). An email was sent out separately from this update and the schedule is also posted below in upcoming events. Please remind students about their assigned picture day for either Monday or Wednesday next week.

Also next week, our 6th and 7th graders will be working with the folks from Nature's Classroom. While an overnight, out of state trip was not possible this year, Nature's Classroom is coming to us on Thursday and Friday next week. A great way to finish the week ahead of the spring break vacation week.

When we return from the vacation week, I will host a Town Hall meeting open to all. At this meeting I can provide updates on the spring and a preview of the plans for fall. This is tentatively scheduled for Thursday May 6, but we will confirm the date/time and zoom information soon.

Each spring, we ask that our parents & guardians complete a satisfaction survey. This helps inform goals for the next year for both me as Head of School and for the Board of Trustees. Kindly take a few minutes to complete the survey by the end of April. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HDZ2HDQ

UPDATED TRAVEL ADVISORY
As of Monday, March 22, all visitors entering Massachusetts, including returning residents, are advised to quarantine for 10 days upon their arrival. Travelers in the following categories are exempt from this quarantine advisory:
  • Travelers who have received a negative COVID-19 result on a test administered not more than 72 hours prior to their arrival in Massachusetts. Travelers may also test out of the quarantine advisory after arrival in Massachusetts, as long as they quarantine until receiving a negative test result.
  • Anyone who is entering Massachusetts for fewer than 24 hours
  • Anyone who is returning to Massachusetts after being out of the State for fewer than 24 hours
  • Workers who enter Massachusetts to perform critical infrastructure functions (as specified by the Federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) during required commuting to or from work and while at work.
  • Travelers who are fully vaccinated (i.e. who have received two doses of either the Moderna or Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines OR who have received a single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, 14 days or more ago) and who do not have symptoms.

All travelers are encouraged to consult and follow the CDC’s guidelines and requirements for travel.

You do not need to quarantine if you took a test for COVID-19 and have received a negative result. The specimen for the test must have been collected not more than 72 hours before your arrival in Massachusetts, and the testing must be by a method approved by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.

If you took a test prior to your arrival but have not received your negative result, you should quarantine until you receive the negative result. You may obtain a test after your arrival in Massachusetts, but aside from visiting the testing center, you should quarantine until you obtain a negative result. Use the COVID-19 testing map to find a site near you. 

If your student is tested for COVID-19, please contact Nurse D (ldonadio@marbleheadcharter.com) and complete the COVID Testing form. Students should stay home if they or anyone in their household is awaiting a COVID test result.

Consult with the U.S. Department of State and CDC websites for COVID-19 information regarding international travel.

All International travelers arriving in Massachusetts should quarantine for 10 days unless they can provide proof of a negative test result that meets the criteria stated above or they are covered by one of the other, limited exceptions.
