All prevention standards are subject to change as new guidance becomes available.We remain committed to providing high quality opportunities for children to build new skills, to explore their future, and to connect with one another and with positive adult role models Class Design • Classes/camps enrollment will be monitored as to ensure adherence to requirements determined by Rochester Public Schools, Olmsted County, and the State of Minnesota.• Classes/camps will make all reasonable attempts to not combine or mix with other individuals or groups. • All classes are assigned to one or more dened indoor and/or outdoor learning spaces.
