Dear MERSD Community,
Our priority goal for the year is maintaining in-person learning and minimizing risk to the health and safety of all in attendance. In addition to masking and cleaning protocols, our mitigation plan has three components targeted at minimizing the risk of COVID being spread at school: daily health screening via MyMedBot, testing for students who show symptoms of COVID-19 at school, and test and stay monitoring for students who may have been identified as in-school close contacts but are not showing symptoms.
MyMedBot
PLEASE complete the app at home each morning before you leave the house.
- Each day you will be prompted to complete a very brief survey prior to sending your child(ren) to school. This should take less than a minute. We strongly encourage you to set a routine for yourself. PLEASE complete the app at home at least 30 minutes prior to your child’s school start time.
- If you do not complete the survey, you will receive a reminder prompt.
- All parent/caregiver emails on file will be linked to each student account, allowing any parent/caregiver to complete the survey. If the survey has been completed on one device, it will reflect in the app for all family members.
- If you have multiple children to report, they will all be linked in your account and will display together on your conclusion window.
- If you are told to stay home, please contact your school nurse by phone for further instructions.

- Essex Elementary: Nicole Grasso-Correnti - Grasso-CorrentiN@mersd.org
- Middle High School: Cyndi Aldrich - aldrichc@mersd.org
- If you are a first time user or you deleted your app, you can download it using the links below
MyMedBot is FERPA compliant and only the pass/fail results will go to the school nurses for review. None of your responses will be saved. You can read more about the app's security measures here (https://www.mymedbot.lu/data-security).
In addition to our mitigation efforts, vaccination is a critical component of our safety plan. I ask that you please vaccinate your eligible children to help us keep our staff and students safe at school.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Pamela Beaudoin
Superintendent
