STATE/LA COUNTY REQUIREMENTS



General Health & Safety

List of 3 items.

  • MASK REQUIREMENTS

    Currently, masking is not required at this time. However, if at any time the LADPH requires our school to mask while indoors we will need to enforce the masking mandate. 

  • PHYSICAL DISTANCING

    Physical distancing will be implemented when possible.

  • HEALTH AND HYGIENE

    In order to maintain the health and safety of our community, the following has been implemented:
    • Nurse: Marymount has hired a Nurse for screening/monitoring those on campus and the execution of COVID protocols on campus.
    • Disinfect Each Class: All classrooms and high-touch areas (restrooms, door handles, etc.) will be thoroughly sanitized. We will have additional cleaning staff on-site to support these efforts. 
    • Hand-sanitizing Stations: Will be available throughout the campus, and every classroom and office will have disinfectant wipes for use. 
    • Isolation Rooms: We will have separate isolation rooms available if a student feels ill while on campus. Until a parent can come and pick up the student, she must remain in that room.

  • My Daughter has been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID? What are my next steps?

    Your student may continue to remain in school as long as they are symptom-free. All close contacts (students, faculty, and staff) are required to wear a well-fitting mask while indoors for 10 days following exposure and test between days 3-5 after exposure. If your student is experiencing symptoms after exposure, please keep them home and take a COVID-19 test as soon as possible (tests available to take home in the School Nurse's office). Please know that it can sometimes take a few days for a positive test to appear following symptoms. These protocols are per the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health and are subject to change. Detailed information with instructions will be emailed to close contacts (including parents of students) from the School Nurse in the event of an on-campus exposure.  

  • What if my daughter is home sick—can they participate in class via Zoom?

    There are currently no Zoom options for students who cannot be on campus for in-person instruction. Students should communicate with their teachers, who will guide missed classwork.

  • Will I be notified of an exposure?

    Yes, you will be notified of possible exposures that occur on campus.

    You will receive an email with instructions on how to proceed with a student who has been in close contact with another student who has tested positive for COVID. 

  • I’m trying to get my Daughter a booster, but have been unsuccessful in finding an appointment/booster location. What should I do?

  • Are there any requirements for school or family trips?

    Travel notices and advisories across all countries worldwide are changing regularly. Please refer to the CDC website and check all travel advisories prior to any trip you may be taking and practice usual health precautions when traveling. 

  • Are the school's bus services running?
