Mountain Brook Schools is continuously monitoring the situation and is in contact with our state and local public health agencies, the State Department of Education, and other local experts. At this time, there are no diagnosed cases of COVID-19 in Alabama. However, as Spring Break approaches, many of our families will be traveling beyond the Mountain Brook community. As our families embark on trips, we want to remind you of effective flu and virus prevention strategies that will help keep your family healthy. If you or a family member are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms such as fever, coughing or difficulty breathing, please call your family physician for guidance.  Mountain Brook Schools remains committed to providing a safe, healthy learning environment for our students. Our district has adapted routine cleaning protocols to further prevent the spread of any flu or virus. We have met with administrators, custodial teams, child nutrition managers, and school nurses to review best practices in the areas of cleanliness and student health.
Mountain Brook Schools has been in communication with local and state agencies regarding field trips and athletic events. We will monitor these events and adjust schedules as needed. We will continue to remind students about effective prevention methods and their role in helping keep our schools and community healthy.
