TESTING REQUIREMENT CHANGE FOR RETURN FROM SPRING BREAK — PLEASE READ: 

ONLY those students who are unvaccinated or not "up to date" (see below for definition) are required to have a PCR test in order to return to school. Students in these two groups must have a negative test within 72 hours of their arrival on campus.

Students in these groups will also be tested in the dorms on the evening of March 30 (boarding students) or at the Health Center before 2:30 p.m. on March 31 (day students). These students will also continue a weekly testing protocol during the spring unless documentation of a booster shot is provided to the Health Center.

What does "up to date" mean? 
An individual is considered "up to date" if they have received a booster shot OR if they have received the second dose in a two-shot series (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines) or the J&J/Janssen vaccine AND are not yet eligible to receive a booster. An individual is eligible for a booster five months after the second shot in a two-shot series (Pfizer-BioNTech) or two months after the J&J/Janssen vaccine. Individuals who are eligible but have not yet received the booster shot are not considered "up to date." In order to be "up to date," documentation of the booster shot needs to be submitted to the Health Center. ("Up to date" status will be granted immediately after confirmation of the booster shot.)

If you have questions, please contact the Health Center.

Student Life Notes

If your student is going to be late to school or miss classes due to inclement weather, a medical appointment, or any other reason, parents or guardians should contact Emily Johnson at ejohnson@tiltonschool.org or 603-286-1776. Students should not self-report their attendance.

Weekend leave requests for boarding students are due on REACH by Thursdays at 12:00 p.m. Going forward, if a student misses the deadline to submit a leave, he or she will be required to remain on campus for the weekend. In a significant situation that requires a student to leave campus at a moment's notice, a parent or guardian should contact the AOD at 603-520-6400.
Business Office — School Store Purchases

Happy almost Spring! We have had requests from students asking if they can charge school store purchases on their incidental account at FACTS. We would like to accommodate this, so for the remainder of this school year, we will allow students to charge items from the school store as long as a parent emails permission to ladkins@tiltonschool.org and the FACTS account must be current. If you have any questions, feel free to email Lisa Adkins ladkins@tiltonschool.org.
