COVID-19 POLICIES & PRECAUTIONS This is an especially exciting holiday season as we return to offering very important live performance opportunities for our students. In order to provide for the safety of student performers, faculty, and audience members the Rochester School Board, Rochester School District, and Rochester Music Faculty have adopted the following policies at all public concerts: 1. If a mask mandate is in effect at school on the day of a concert, then all students, faculty and audience members will be required to wear masks at the concert - regardless of the concert’s location. 2. Students will be placed at 3’ intervals in the performance space. Audience members will be asked to sit in assigned areas according to their student’s class and to socially distance in family “bubbles.” 3. Anyone who has tested positive for COVID, who has been in close proximity to someone who is positive, or who is experiencing COVID-like symptoms should refrain from attending the event. 4. Adherence to these and any other policies that might be adopted by the district prior to the performance is a requirement for concert attendance.

Today the 7-Day Test Positivity has reached 10% or higher for the second consecutive day in a row (10.3% & 11%). Per school board policy relative to masks, all students and staff will wear masks while indoors for five days. Masks will be required tomorrow, November 18th through November 23rd. Stay tuned for additional alerts related

Thank you Dr. Jameson for your hard work on behalf of the students of McClelland and the Rochester @RochNHSchool Community!

On Wednesday, November 10th, McClelland will be having a short Veterans Day assembly outside (weather permitting) to honor the Veterans in our community. We would like to invite local Veterans and those connected to our McClelland community to join us and be honored by our school, and we need your help to invite them! Our assembly will take place at 10:30 am in the front of the school. Please reach out to any Veterans you know of and let them know that we would like to host and honor them for Veterans Day. We would love to reach as many veterans as we can. Thank you for helping us honor our community’s veterans.
