COVID-19 policy issued by Diocesan Schools Task Force Schools should follow COVID screening questions, if it has not already been done (in line with CDC). Regarding a pending COVID test: If anyone in the family has a pending COVID test, then the entire family should stay home.

In summary: • The mask policy does not change • If any family member has symptoms of COVID (1 major or 2 minor) or a pending test, the entire family should stay home • Students should not return to school from COVID symptoms without either a negative COVID test or clearance from a physician • The key to moving forward is getting as many people vaccinated as possible INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL Get tested with a viral test 3-5 days after travel AND stay home and self-quarantine for a full 7 days after travel.

• •

o Even if you test negative, stay home and self-quarantine for the full 7 days. o If your test is positive, isolate yourself to protect others from getting infected. o If you don’t get tested, stay home and self-quarantine for 10 days after travel.

Avoid being around people who are at increased risk for severe illness for 14 days, whether you get tested or not.

Follow all state and local recommendations or requirements after travel.

• All students, faculty, staff, and guests are required to wear a mask while in the Eagle Café.

• All MMI team members wear an approved face covering, apron, and nitrile gloves during the preparation and service of meals.

• All meal-service activities and seating options comply with the appropriate social distancing guidelines.

• We provide directional signage and management to support safe and expeditious traffic flow.

• Hand sanitizer is available to all students, faculty, staff, and guests throughout the cafeteria.

• Meal service utensils and condiments are single-use.
