From Our Head of School
Dear Prince Families:

We are on the cusp of what may be one of the most unusual semesters in our school’s forty-two-year history. Our faculty and staff continue to work diligently to prepare for the start of school on August 10th, and we are excited and looking forward to welcoming students back to campus!

We will continue to coordinate with local medical experts and other independent school leaders to make decisions based upon science and common sense to mitigate the risks for transmitting and contracting the virus. Our Campus Reopening Plan states that a parent must sign and submit a liability waiver (Parent Acknowledgement and Assumption of Risk form) for their student to return to our campus. That form will be sent to you electronically this Tuesday, and we ask that you complete and submit it electronically before the first day of school, which is Monday, August 10th. Only one form is required per family, even if that family has more than one student enrolled.

The health and welfare of everyone at Prince is a shared responsibility; teaching, learning, and working together this fall will require discipline and personal responsibility by all of us. We look forward to having everyone back on campus and re-acclimating to the familiar cadence of a more traditional routine.
Seth A. Hathaway, Ed.S.
Head of School
