Fall 2023 Cambridge Suzuki Violins COVID-19 Lesson/Group policies. (updated 8/15/2023)

Dear Families,

Students and their immediate family must be illness-free for in-person lessons. Lessons may be online, on-site, or a combination of the two, depending on the situation. I am committed to both your and the community's safety, and to giving you the best possible and most consistent learning experience in either format.

These policies may be updated and/or change as the semester progresses. All class content, class & concert schedule and concert rep, are subject to change. Please be flexible.

For Private & Group Lessons:

• If the student or anyone in your house has any symptoms of illness, PLEASE STAY HOME, and text me so that we can log on for a virtual lesson for that day. This includes fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea.

• If you show signs of illness, please test yourselves for COVID.

• If a student is exhibiting any signs of illness at the lesson they will be sent home.

• If a student or any member of their immediate family tests positive, or has come in close contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19, please notify me immediately.

• If you test positive for COVID 19, STAY HOME for 5 days from when you test positive. After 5 days of isolation if there has been no fever for 24 hrs, please mask for an additional 5 days at all times when in CMC.

• Students may have one parent attend the lesson. Other parents may Zoom in if they would like.

• Please wash hands with soap when you arrive for both private lessons and group class. Hand washing products and hand sanitizers are available throughout the space.
