Dear Upper School Community,
I hope everyone had a great spring break! It is exciting to have campus active again as we welcome everyone back. Beginning Thursday, March 17, the Upper School will move to a mask optional policy for assembly and chapel services.
We will continue to fully support all the adults and students in our school community who choose to wear face coverings and strongly encourage them for anyone whose immune system may be compromised.
All adults and students should continue to have a face covering with them at school each day as they may be required, regardless of vaccination status, during certain indoor activities as determined by the administration.
As always, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Chad Woods
Director of Upper School
Students and faculty/staff are asked to stay home if they are sick or simply do not feel well. We will not be doing daily temperature checks, so it is important that you do this before leaving home. Testing of symptomatic students and faculty/staff also remains an important part of the effort to slow the spread of the virus. Members of the community who think they may have COVID-19 should be tested.
Given the availability of vaccines, less restrictive international travel, and the hardship hybrid learning places on teachers and students, we will not offer a virtual-learning option for the 2021-2022 school year. Only students in quarantine or isolation may be given the opportunity to learn remotely. Arrangements for virtual learning should be made with the student’s division director and not with an individual teacher.
