COVID-19

The Stillwater School is open with full time in person classes.

We have been taking time to review and update our policies and procedures. There will be recognizable changes to the school this year. All of these changes have been made in consultation with the Maine CDC, our licensing agent with Maine DHHS licensing division, and our lovely new Healthcare Consultant Ludmila Svoboda, RN BSN MA OCN. Ludmila is a very experienced healthcare provider and also a Stillwater parent, so we are excited to have her join us in our efforts to keep everyone safe and healthy.

Student and staff safety has always been and always will be our top priority. While we can never guarantee a sterile environment, we will be rigidly adhering to these protocols in the interest of bringing the risk of COVID transmission down as much as humanly possible.

We have prepared an outline of some of the changes for parents to review. Please keep in mind this is going to be a working document that may change as the school year progresses. We will be closely following updates from the Maine CDC and will adjust our protocols as needed.

For the 2022/2023 school year we will be mask optional whenever community transmission levels in York county are Low or Medium. If community transmission levels become High, we will be requiring masks while indoors at all times.
