COVID-19 Response
Committed to the Safety of Students and Staff
Our first priority is to the health and safety of our students and staff. Students may attend classes virtually or on campus. We are implementing precautions such as: Students and staff wear facemasks (optional); Wellness checks and temperature screenings are performed in check-in; and frequent handwashing and disinfecting.
We will make decisions about holding or canceling events based on the updated information from health officials. Please watch for messages from the Head of School with important updates. Any changes will also be noted on our school calendar. In the event of an outbreak, to increase your chances of staying healthy, it is best to avoid crowded settings, especially if you are over sixty years of age or have chronic health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, or a weakened immune system. Do not send your child to school if you suspect he or she may be ill or has exhibited any of the following signs or symptoms:
- An elevated temperature of 100 degrees or more during the last 24 hours.
- Vomiting within the last 24 hours.
- Repeated episodes of diarrhea within the last 24 hours.
- Chills, loss of appetite, unusual fatigue, and/or lingering headache.
- A significant amount of nasal discharge, particularly if the discharge is yellow or greenish in color.
- A persistent cough.
- A significant sore throat.
- An earache.
If you suspect that you or your child has a serious communicable disease, you must notify the school so we can comply with reporting requirements. While we usually monitor ill students for a period of time, given the circumstances, parents will be immediately called to pick up their child as quickly as possible.
