COVID-19 Response/Resources
HCCC received approval by the state of Massachusetts to open as part of the Phase 2 reopening, and we welcomed children back on June 29, 2020. All heath and safety protocols and policies that HCCC is currently practicing have been developed through guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, using their most recent guidance (3/2024) for respiratory illness. For more information on these updates please visit https://www.cdc.gov/respiratory-viruses/guidance/respiratory-virus-guidance.html
***Updated 3/2024- Children who have been exposed to COVID-19 and have ANY SYMPTOM at all must have a negative rapid COVID test prior to attending school for the first 3 days of symptoms. The results of this test must be reported to the classroom teacher via Brightwheel prior to arrival. For details on when your child should stay home sick from HCCC, please click here.
