We are currently operating at level yellow: Potential risk to campus—risk-reducing actions and requirements: face coverings, physical distancing, hand washing, increased sanitization, limited athletics and off campus activities. Update from the Head of School Greetings!
I am pleased to share our last two rounds of surveillance testing have produced 100 percent negative results. The boys continue to follow our guidelines and we are excited to slightly ease restrictions around campus as the semester progresses. We will conduct another round of testing on October 5, and hope the good news continues.
