EMS reviews the science, considers the surrounding environment, and evaluates the current climate.
We adhere to the protocols and policies recommended by the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) and New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
As our understanding of the disease evolves, the EMS Health and Safety Team, comprised of administrators and faculty representatives, is constantly evaluating and updating policies in consultation with a group of dedicated doctors and health professionals in our community who make up our Medical and Dental Advisory Committee. We will keep our community informed of changes as they are implemented.
