Joyce Preschool continues to closely monitor the evolving Covid-19 situation and posts updates as they are available.
August 17, 2022: Ready for the school year!
Joyce Preschool is excited to welcome back students for the 2022-2023 school year! We continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and recommendations from the Department of Health, State of Minnesota, and Minneapolis Public Schools. We have adopted a Preparedness Plan to keep our students, teachers, and families safe which is revised regularly as the state recommendations changes.
Top Guidelines for Joyce Attendees
- Masks or face coverings are OPTIONAL for all children, adults, and staff entering the building
- Students are not required to wear face coverings, but are supported either way in this decision
- All students and caregivers are asked to self monitor for symptoms and exposures to COVID-19
- Exposures and positive cases will be communicated with affected families, while ensuring privacy of the exposed/infected individual
- If your child is experiencing illness symptoms, use the decision tree as a guide for determining attendance and contact our Program Coordinator, Graciela, anytime your child will be absent
