COVID-19/Cold/Flu/Illness Mitigation Policies
Risk mitigation policies:
Music Together North Shore is proud to have safely continued classes throughout the entire pandemic. Whether online, outdoors or indoors, our risk mitigation strategies have kept young children safe. We follow a more cautious approach, with the understanding that post-partum emotions run high enough. If joining a music class can help one new parent feel integrated with their community, then we want that parent out in the community with us. Therefore, we as a community of music-makers, assume the responsibility of doing everything we can to keep each other's babies as safe as possible, removing as many "what if's" from a worried new parents' shoulders.
Following these risk mitigation strategies does NOT eliminate your risk of contracting/spreading Covid-19 or other illness. All families participating in classes assume the risk of contracting Covid-19 or other illness and do so according to their own will.
-
NOTE: Ms. Kristen is fully vaccinated for flu and covid. She also takes a covid test whenever a sniffle comes on.
-
Our number one mitigation measure: Any family with members of their household who are significantly ill agree to not participate in class that week. Illness includes any fever over 99.0, vomiting or diarrhea, new rash, new cough or new sore throat.
-
Please read our more detailed absence policy here.
-
Families with members of their household with stuffy noses, nagging mild cough, or other mild illness are welcome to participate, but we ask that if possible, you stay in your "family area" without wandering too much in class.
-
A Medify-Air Hepa air filter is running throughout class in our large, airy studio, cycling through the space every 30 minutes.
-
Hand sanitizing stations will be available throughout class.
-
Make-Up classes are very limited, but most families CAN get all 8 classes in by utilizing our Make-Up Scheduler. There are no refunds for missed classes. The "Bonus Week" will allow for potential make-ups for families who missed classes.
-
What is Ms. Kristen cleaning instruments with? Simple Green D Pro - recommended for food preparation facilities and listed on the EPA website as tested for Covid-19. Instruments will be sprayed and left for 3 minutes, dried and then wiped with microfiber/water
-
Participants assume all risks associated with gathering and willingly participate.
