While the decision about when to reopen school buildings rests solely with APS, MES has some autonomy with what the implementation will look like at our school. 

Key Operational Considerations at MES

1. Teachers/students will be assigned cohorts to mitigate interactions and allow for contact tracing
2. Multiple outdoor play zones have been created for recess, which will be zoned by cohort
3. During the first two weeks after reopening, students will eat lunch in the classroom. We will reassess the use of our cafeteria and outside spaces for lunch after the first two weeks.
