Our Pandemic Response Plan
We are committed to maintaining a safe, in-person learning environment for our students.
Over the past year we have learned how well we are able to monitor the health of our small school community and what was most effective in prevention of further transmission when community members had positive exposures or diagnoses. Our general approach will be to allow families and faculty to exercise much of their own personal discretion in terms of risk management. We trust our families to continue taking cautionary measures and prudent initiative in these matters out of care for one another and the health of all our school community.
As before, we will continue to have transparent and proactive communication with families as we respond to any incidents related to COVID-19. Likewise, since the pandemic is still ongoing and the risk of contraction may rise again, we may alter parts of this plan as needed should circumstances change at any point during the year. We will continue to abide by local health requirements, as has been our practice throughout this pandemic.
Our Approach for 21-22 Academic Year
Entrusting masking & vaccination decisions to families
Insofar as permitted by local health authorities, we intend to delegate decisions about masking decisions to our families. Vaccination decisions will remain up to families.
Maintaining quarantining protocols
We will continue to follow local health officials' guidance with respect to quarantining as a result of positive cases or direct exposures.
Taking preventative measures
We will continue to take preventative measures like distancing and sanitizing to limit the spread of illness.
