General Policies

• If you test positive for COVID-19, you must stay home from lessons for 10 days. You may still have your lesson virtually if you are feeling well enough or reschedule for a different day/time.

• If the student does not attend school on the day of their lesson or class due to illness or the school’s COVID-19 policies, they may not attend their lesson in-person at the MO. 

• Students, faculty, and staff must stay home if they are experiencing any COVID-19, cold, and/or flu symptoms, or are not feeling well.

• Students, faculty, and staff must stay home from lessons for 5 days and monitor symptoms if they have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. According to the CDC, close contact is defined as an individual not fully vaccinated against COVID-19 who was within 6 feet of an infected person for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period. Please get tested before returning to lessons if you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19.
