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.
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I would like to share a few updates and reminders with you regarding our games this weekend, COVID-19 restrictions, and our current policies for March break which are subject to change based on many variables.
Athletic Contests: If you have a son playing in a game this weekend, please review the email that Geoff Barlow sent this week regarding our spectator policy. At this time, we are not allowing guests/spectators who do not have a son playing to attend games. These strict guidelines are supported by the "Reopen Connecticut" plan set forth by Governor Lamont and are important for the health of our community. Please contact Geoff Barlow if you have any questions.
COVID-19 Restrictions: We are currently permitting boarding students to visit other dormitories (with the expectation of one guest per room with all COVID-19 restrictions in place). Students can order from an expanded menu at the Hawk's Nest and order food delivery from local restaurants. We have also extended the hours in the field house and gym.
Long Winter Weekend: Reminder that students will remain on campus during the long weekend scheduled for February 12-15. Students can plan to have Monday, February 15, off from classes for a much-needed break. We will reassess our policies regarding parent/guardian visits next week after our testing results are received.
Spring Break: We are currently creating a webpage for the repopulation details concerning spring break. We will schedule a Zoom in the near future to discuss the specifics and answer any questions that you have concerning dates of repopulation and entry requirements.
Please remember to visit our parent portal on the website for the latest updates and important information. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. A list of quick contacts can be found here.
Best,
