Hi everyone! I’m Attracta Britton, RN, the COMPASS School Nurse. At COMPASS, we strive everyday to make sure our school is as safe and healthy as it can be for all staff and students. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been wonderful to see everyone working together to maintain the safety protocols put in place to help stop the spread of the virus.
Please explore the resources on this page to learn how you and your family can stay safe and healthy during this time. I’m also more than happy to answer any questions that you may have.
See you around the School!
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health is removing the requirement for flu vaccination for attendance in childcare/preschool, primary, secondary and postsecondary education. Preliminary data show that this has been a mild flu season to date, presumably as people have received their seasonal flu vaccine and have been adhering to mask-wearing and social distancing due to COVID-19. Given the intensive Commonwealth-wide efforts regarding COVID-19 vaccination, DPH wants to alleviate the burden to obtain flu vaccination and focus on continuing our COVID -19 vaccination efforts.
