Harvard Public School Safe Return to Learn Plan 2024-2025
The Safe Return to Learn Plan for Harvard Public School outlines a framework to address the health and safety needs of students and staff during the 2024-25 school year, particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Key areas covered include academic plans, health screenings, facility cleaning, transportation, and specific protocols for social distancing, mask-wearing, and hygiene to ensure a safe educational environment. It also addresses universal mask-wearing, physical distancing, handwashing, cleaning and ventilation, contact tracing, testing, vaccinations, accommodations for disabilities, and coordination with health officials.
