Friends School of Portland is committed to implementing best practices in school to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in our community and to contribute to the continued public health goal of “flattening the curve.”
There are many aspects of FSP that make this task easier than it is in much of the country: Maine’s COVID-19 rate is relatively low; we do not have bus and lunch systems to contend with; we have small class sizes and plenty of room indoors; we have access to wonderful outside spaces; our faculty and parents are thoughtful and flexible.
Nevertheless, this will not be easy, and we will need to work together to pull it off.
As more is known about measures that can help mitigate spread, we will adjust our approaches accordingly.
