Working at NBSS

NBSS has not yet drafted any formal policies surrounding Covid-19 vaccination for faculty, staff, or students.

Please view the Health & Safety page FAQs for answers to your vaccine-related questions.

Proof of a negative COVID-19 test result is required to begin training or working at NBSS, and upon return from our winter break. This applies to all students, faculty, and staff. In addition, we strongly recommend testing at other moments throughout the year.

Additional details can be found within our Reopening Plan on the Health & Safety page.

We will continuously work to provide a health, safe, and productive environment for everyone at NBSS. Detailed, current information can be found on our Health & Safety page.

As in all cases when you are experiencing symptoms of a contagious illness, you should stay home, let your supervisor know you'll be out, and follow the advice of your medical professional.

Refer to our Health & Safety page for detailed actions to take in the event you are diagnosed with COVID-19. Please see the employee handbook for additional details and policy addenda on absences and missed work.

Please contact your supervisor. As each situation will be different, they will work with you on leave options, and any special steps or accommodations needed to keep our community healthy.

Review the employee handbook for additional details and policy addenda in light of COVID-19.

Your health and safety is our top priority. It is important that people stay home if they are sick, and help maintain the health of our community.

Yes, if you are self-isolating but not actively sick, you are expected to work from home. Please discuss options with your supervisor, including remote access, conference calls, etc. Work that cannot be done remotely will be addressed on a case-by-case basis.

Faculty and instructors should privately check in with the student exhibiting illness, and please ask them to leave class and make arrangements to see a medical professional. Please let Claire Fruitman or Marc Dreyfus know so they can follow up, if needed.

We have provisions for parking as noted below. Here is a list of parking rates for nearby garages.

• Faculty should use their School charge card for parking at a local lot/garage for all visits to the building for classes or program work. Please do not use the School’s Richmond Street lot.
• If a Staff member is required to be in the School to conduct their job; or if their supervisor requires you to come to the School on certain days, parking is offered in the Richmond Street lot. If the lot is full or busy, a staff member can use their School charge at a local parking lot/garage.
• Student workers can use the Richmond Street lot on weekends only for their shift. The lot is not available to students during the week.
