Health Notes

All students and staff will be masked during their time on campus, except when eating or drinking. Please make sure your student has a mask that fits comfortably and securely over their mouth and nose and will stay in place during play.

Out of an abundance of caution, students visiting the nurse’s office with any illness symptoms will be sent home.

Only students and staff are allowed in the school building at this time. Adult visitors must have a pre-arranged appointment and proof of vaccination to enter.
