Dear Parents,
I am thrilled to report that we found out this morning that we had a 100% negative result rate following our New Girls' COVID-19 tests on Move In Day! This wonderful news will allow us to loosen some of our strictest quarantine restrictions, specifically, our girls will be able to enjoy a picnic dinner tonight (weather permitting). Mask wearing and social distancing at 6 ft remain required (as do other protocols), but students will be able to be outdoors. We truly appreciate the precautions we know were taken prior to Move In to help us achieve this fantastic result.
I would like to acknowledge that at this time we do still have five New Girls who will continue to participate in a quarantine in Gilmore House following a return to campus on public transportation. These five students will be tested after completing the necessary quarantine period. For now, they will continue to participate in activities via Zoom and FaceTime, meals will continue to be provided via "room service," and snacks will of course be plentiful.
Thank you again for all of the attention to detail we know was given ahead of your student's return to campus, and for your continued support in the days and weeks ahead. And don't forget to check our social media accounts regularly - we'll be posting lots of photos of our Opening Days fun! You can also see photos on our new SmugMug account.
Esto Perpetua,
