Missouri Military Academy Cadets are starting to return to campus.
New cadets reported Aug. 5, while cadet leaders and athletes have been on campus since July 29, where they participated in Cadet Cadre Leadership Training and preseason sports camp.
The academy enacted several registration and arrival protocols to mitigate the potential spread of COVID-19, according to a news release. This included online registration, drive-thru drop-offs and a virtual new cadet resolution ceremony to limit contact and exposure between families, faculty and staff.
Cadets, during their first two weeks on campus, will be tested for COVID-19 and remain in a single occupancy room. Masks are mandatory on campus and social distancing reminders are posted for cadets, faculty and staff.
Cadets, faculty and staff will have their temperatures checked daily. Cadets will receive health checks, while faculty and staff will self-assess. Staff will maintain continuous cleaning, disinfection and sanitation across campus, plus daily monitoring of ventilation systems, according to the release.
The academy will maintain a contained campus for the fall 2020 semester. Homecoming was postponed to spring 2021 and on-campus family activities held during the fall semester were canceled. Athletic activities and other events will be livestreamed.
