COVID-19

MVCDS COVID-19 RESOURCES & 2021 UPDATE: 
With the dedication and strength of our faculty, we are determined to fulfill our personal, experiential, and global education during this time. Please use this page as a resource to deliver important updates and links throughout the coming weeks.

When creating our COVID protocols for the 2021-22 year our leadership team had two goals in mind: to keep our community safe, particularly those unable to be vaccinated and to keep our students in school.

We will start our school year with everyone masked while they are indoors, regardless of vaccination status as is recommended by the Center for Disease Control, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department.

In addition to starting the year with universal masking indoors, we will also employ layered mitigation strategies:

-3 ft. physical distancing whenever possible
-Hand sanitizing stations
-Frequent hand-washing
-Increased ventilation 
-Utilizing the outdoor spaces on our campus
-Utilizing plexiglass partitions where necessary
-Increased sanitization and cleaning protocols
-Amended lunch, arrival, and dismissal protocols

Also, if you have a child who has received the COVID vaccine and you have not yet sent a copy of the vaccination card to our school nurse, Sherrie Watkins, please do so as soon as possible. Maumee Valley’s full COVID Protocols document along with other useful COVID information can be found on the COVID-19 Resource Board on MyMV.
