Health Policy

MYS Health Protocols – Updated: 7/25/2024

The MYS health protocols will be updated as needed throughout the season.

Vaccinations

For the 2024-2025 Season, MYS strongly recommends being up-to-date on all vaccinations and boosters for MYS students. Students are asked about their vaccination status when registering.

Masks

  • Masking is optional at all MYS rehearsals and concerts.

Communication

  • If you are not feeling well, please fill out an absence form and stay at home.
  • If a student exhibits flu symptoms while at MYS, they will be set apart from the rest of the group and parents will be notified immediately.
  • Please let us know ASAP if your student tests positive for COVID via the absence form.
  • MYS follows CDC recommendations.

Returning to Rehearsal after COVID

Students who have had a confirmed case of COVID-19 should follow the CDC guidelines for isolation, quarantine, and masking. When a student’s symptoms are improving AND they have not had a fever for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication, they are welcome to return to rehearsal.

Then over the next 5 days, take additional steps for cleaner airhygiene, masksphysical distancing, and/or testing when you will be around other people indoors. This is especially important to protect people with factors that increase their risk of severe illness from respiratory viruses.
