Students can be out of uniform on off-site learning days. See dress code here.

Children age 5 and under will be required to wear a face mask or shield when entering and exiting the buildings, in common spaces, and upon teacher request. All other students and faculty members will be required to wear a face covering in accordance with the state mandate, summarized here. 

 

School Visitors/Volunteers:  Due to the unusual measures taking place this year to keep our students and staff safe, we will be restricting visitors/parents (including volunteers) entering the buildings.  If you have a need to drop an item off for your student (like a lunch or an iPad), someone will meet you at the door and deliver it for you.

Stress and Anxiety in School-Aged Children (Parent Session with Dr. Jules Nolan):  Even before COVID, anxiety had become the most commonly diagnosed issue in classrooms across this country. Given the stress of this time, of disrupted school and more pressure on families, we are seeing a rise in the stress and anxiety demonstrated by children. In this session, you will learn concrete strategies to help your children become more resilient to stress and to better endure normal anxious feelings. You will also find tips to differentiate “normal” stress and anxiety responses from more serious symptoms, how to intervene without interfering, and when to seek help.
