Dear JCC Members,
We're getting close to announcing the full details of our reopening plans! Please watch your email and our website for updates. As of now, I can share the following information with you. We will share the fine details of these plans as they become finalized.
|
|
PHASE 1
Phase 1 will begin June 1st. Campus access will ONLY be granted to children registered for Summer Camp and to students of the Pennie Z. Davis Child Development Center.
No other individuals (outside of our staff) will be allowed in the building during this time.
Both Summer Camp and the Pennie Z. Davis Child Development Center will be implementing modified programming with new practices and procedures in adherence with state and national guidelines for Covid-19. Parents, please watch your email for details regarding these new protocols.
PHASE 2
Dates for Phase 2 will be announced soon. This phase will include private personal training sessions and limited access to the Phil Sokolof Fitness Center.
As much as we will love having you back, we can’t welcome you all at the same time. We will be enforcing a strict limit on the number of individuals in the facility at one time. To stay in adherence with state and local guidelines, the Fitness Center will have capacity limits. Access to the Fitness Center will be available by reservation only. Complete instructions and how to reserve a time, as well as additional safety protocol will be communicated soon.
PHASE 3
Dates for Phase 3 will be announced soon. We are awaiting finalization of formal guidelines from state and local officials in regards to the functioning of swimming pools.
As I've said before, we greatly appreciate your patience as we navigate this uncharted territory.
Please continue to watch our email updates.
Many things have changed over the last several weeks, but our commitment to you has not. Your health and safety, as well as the health and safety of our staff, remains our number one priority. You are a part of our family. We are your JCC.

Social distancing but united. The JCC staff is working hard for you!
