• All Boarding students are required to quarantine at home beginning January 17th (1 week prior to return).
• All students MUST obtain a COVID-19 test on or after January 17th and provide the results to school by your return.
• Students must notify the Tilton Health Center if they have tested positive for COVID-19 within the last 90 days.

• All boarding students will be provided a 15-minute window for their return to campus. Appointments will be available from 3 pm - 9 pm on Friday, January 22, and from 8:30 am - 5 pm on Saturday, January 23. In order to begin our on-campus quarantine as a community, appointments for move-in are not available after this time.
• International students and long-distance travelers are able to return as early as January 19th. Students who require school assistance with airport transportation should contact Ms. Johnson right away with travel specifics.

• Upon arrival, families should go directly to the Admissions Circle and remain in their vehicle. Staff will screen students and collect any prescription medications to be stored in the Health Center. We will require documentation of your student’s negative COVID-19 PCR test dated on or after January 17 at this time. 

• During move-in families should not enter residence halls and are asked to depart campus within 15-minutes of arrival.  
• Deliveries to students will not be allowed after student drop-off or during quarantine so it is important that families plan ahead to make any necessary purchases prior to arrival.

• Once they have entered the dorm, students are asked to remain in their rooms for the first 3-days of quarantine while all community members are pool tested on January 24th and until tests are received. 
• Meals will be scheduled by dormitory. Common rooms will be open for microwave and fridge use only and will have a one-person occupancy limit. Once this process is complete, students will transition to quarantine by cohort, allowing free movement throughout their own dormitories and at scheduled activities around campus by these cohort groups. 
• Students must wear masks to cover their nose and mouth outside of their own rooms at all times. We recommend that students continue to exercise caution and maintain social distancing at all times during quarantine to minimize their own risk of exposure to an asymptomatic positive case.
• Students will attend classes virtually for the duration of quarantine and are asked to bring headphones (noise reducing if possible) to assist in providing a quiet environment for room and hallmates.
• Students will be tested again on day 7 of quarantine. Depending on results, we plan to return to in-person learning and full-roster athletics, presumably as early as February 3rd and as late as February 8th.

• We postponed the return to campus until Jan 22-23 to allow for the likely peak in post-holiday cases to subside and to allow for community members affected during the holiday period to quarantine/recover.
• We will test early and frequently during quarantine in order to identify asymptomatic cases as quickly as possible and to mitigate spread.
• We will continue to test the community weekly during the winter.
• We will hold to strict quarantine protocols in the first 3 days of our return in order to identify and isolate cases and then move to a dorm-cohort quarantine through the remaining 10-14 day period. 
• During quarantine, we will create opportunities within the dorm and around campus by cohort to maintain the social, emotional, and mental health of our students.
• We will ask students who are positive or contact traced to a positive case and who live within driving distance to quarantine or isolate at home in order to ensure our ability to house students who are unable to travel home outside of the dorm and under our care during quarantine and recovery.
• We will ask day students to quarantine at home during the boarding students’ campus quarantine period.
• We will strictly enforce protocol in order to provide the best opportunity for all of our students to remain on campus and participate in athletics, activities, and classes in-person.
