Dear Families,
I want to apologize for any confusion from my last message regarding the disparity between what the city and state are allowing with respect to COVID precautions and what Jarrow is asking of our families. We are trying so hard to minimize bringing COVID to school, and as a result, I want to correct a misstatement on my part from my last communication. The message suggested that it is safe and allowable to have two households together under one roof who may not be of the same pod. What our guidelines are stating is that we are asking families to not engage in gatherings of anyone outside of their immediate household under one roof. This decision is based on the continued spread of COVID (and the new variants), coupled with a slow roll out of the vaccine. Recent public health statements from the CDC have reiterated that we maintain the same stringent guidelines, as COVID is still spreading.
We are all getting weary of the restrictions to our personal freedom and mobility. I truly wish we were at the tail end of this pandemic, but unfortunately that is not the case. I am so appreciative of Maeve trying to help guide families to a safe decision when planning. I want to thank those parents who pointed out any discrepancy in our messaging and holding me accountable to any errors or confusion that arises.
With gratitude for your patience, understanding and help in keeping our children and faculty safe.
In Peace,
Debbie
