Lower School StudentsWe are conscious of wanting to de-densify the Lower School on the first two days of school in order to establish clear routines and expectations with all students. We intend to be very organized, and want parents to feel confident in our COVID structures and procedures.
Taking into account the present limits to large gatherings, after thoughtful deliberation, the Lower School will follow the below schedule for
