Greetings TMSA Community,
Effective immediately, The Main Street Academy will adhere to Fulton County Schools (FCS) COVID-19 mitigation strategies for the health and safety of our school community. Updates include the following:
- TMSA will adhere to FCS's most recent School Closing Matrix as it pertains to face-to-face instruction. Don't forget - TMSA will only have one instructional option, face-to-face, starting next second semester on Tuesday, January 4, 2022. Please familiarize yourself with the matrix as it differs from the TMSA COVID -19 Household Notification Protocol Flowchart that was shared with you this past August.
- Mask wear is encouraged and strongly recommended on TMSA’s school campus. Per FCS, masks will remain optional when conditions allow. The district’s mitigation strategy considers the rate of infection in each of our local communities. Schools located in municipalities where the rate of infection exceeds 100 per 100,000 residents will require all students, personnel, and visitors to wear masks until such time as the rate of infection drops below 100 per 100,000.
To help control the spread of COVID -19 at TMSA, please bear in mind the following important reminders:
- TMSA students, faculty and staff should always remain home when sick. Parents/guardians please inform your child(ren)’s teacher(s) of any illnesses. Your child(ren)’s teacher is very flexible and will work with you to ensure assignments are distributed and completed.
- Students, faculty and staff may take advantage of on-site COVID-19 surveillance testing available at TMSA on Mondays and Wednesdays (excluding holidays). Click here to obtain additional details and sign up for the onsite, complimentary service.
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommends everyone ages 5 years and older get a COVID-19 vaccine to help protect against COVID.
Visit www.fultonschools.org/coronavirus to obtain COVID-19 updates and resources from FCS.
Please stay posted as TMSA households will receive a survey on Friday, December 10, 2021, to voluntarily provide the current COVID-19 vaccination status of TMSA’s student body.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership; assuring our school's healthy and safe learning environment.
Kindest regards,
The Main Street Academy’s Administration
