Dear Hoban Parents and Students,
Over the last few weeks, we have had several parents request guidance in planning personal, off-campus homecoming dances. To each request, we have shared that any student attending large gatherings where social distancing and masks are not enforced will be required to quarantine for 14 days following the event.
We have been made aware that an alternate homecoming is scheduled for this Saturday, Oct. 17. This is not a Hoban-sponsored event and therefore cannot guarantee that safety protocols will be enforced. For the sake of the health and safety of our students and community, we strongly discourage any student from attending. Should students choose to attend we ask your cooperation in that students quarantine for 14 days and participate in remote classes. Additionally, they will be removed from all co-curricular and athletic activities until the quarantine is complete. The first date students may be back in the building or engage in a sport or activity will be Monday, Nov. 2.
To date, we have been fortunate that students and families have self-identified when they have been in these large gathering situations and have quarantined. It is that selfless commitment to the whole Hoban community that has kept our school healthy.
As communicated previously, we have secured additional tickets to our playoff football games and will be hosting watch parties on campus. Each of these events, while not the same as a dance, will provide opportunities for our students to gather safely with friends. Students will be receiving these opportunities through their Hoban email.
Sincerely,
Dr. Tom Curry, President
Dr. Emily Ramos, Principal
