Staying Vigilant
COVID-19 INFORMATION
In order for NECCA to be able to offer any in person programming during the COVID-19 pandemic, NECCA needs your help. Your personal safety and that of our community are paramount at NECCA, and will require the cooperation of all of our staff, students, and community. Thank you in advance for your help in keeping our community safe!
Please keep in mind that there is more risk with what we do at NECCA, so our protocols are more strict than State Guidelines. In addition, the status of community transmission, presence of variants and rate of vaccinations in our area continues to change as well. With that in mind, we want you to know that we may need to adjust our protocols at any time in order to prioritize safety for our students, staff, and our community. Staying open for all of you is our greatest reward.
For more information about our COVID-19 related policies and procedures, please read our COVID-19 Safety Policies below.
