Dear McAuliffe Parents and Families,
Our schedule is back to "normal" this week as we embrace our second semester. This month is Black History Month, and at McAuliffe there are many ways to get involved. The posters around campus highlight different cultural icons, foods, and celebrations that are significant to our community.
Please take the time to check out how you can get involved--or even come by our art room, Room 15 for 10-15 minutes after each Cohort on Tuesdays and Thursdays to create a Jean-Michel Basquiat inspired portrait with Swihart!

Quarantine and Close Contact FAQ |
Thank you for your ongoing partnership in ensuring our campus is safe for all students. In this week’s correspondence I have included information about our Covid-19 Notification and Contact Tracing procedures and Frequently Asked Questions. As you all know, we had our first positive cases at McAuliffe this week. While it has been determined that none of the cases are spread while on campus, it is still important for you to be informed of our procedures.
Please read our FAQ, which will be updated regularly.
