MBS will provide deeper, more frequent cleaning and disinfecting throughout campus, with a focus on high-touch surfaces and shared equipment. Students will be asked to assume personal responsibility for their spaces.
Key efforts:
-
Classrooms will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected by our cleaning service at least once a day.
-
Students may be asked to wipe down tables/desks and plexiglass partitions at the start of each class. Wipes will be provided in each classroom.
-
High-touch surfaces (e.g., light switches, railings, door handles, faucets) will be covered with antimicrobial disinfectant tape that protects against germs and bacteria for three months. In addition, these surfaces will be cleaned throughout the day by the cleaning service.
-
In science classes, where students are handling lab equipment and other shared materials, students will wear nitrile gloves.
-
If lunch is eaten in the classrooms, students will wipe down the desks both before and after their lunch.
-
Shared computer equipment (e.g., keyboard, mouse) will be cleaned with wipes by students at the end of each class.
-
Water fountains/stations will continue to be sanitized regularly; we will cover/disable mouth dispensers so that only the bottle-filling option is available.
