Kyle Rittenhouse Verdict: I want to acknowledge that the verdict for Kyle Rittenhouse is something that many in our community are talking about and trying to make sense of as we part ways for our time off. When things like this happen while we like to be in community to support each other we recognize this is not possible due to our break. When we return from break our DEI coordinator, Matt Blanchette, will hold space for any community members that are wanting to process the verdict. Participation will be voluntary. Be safe and take care of each other over break.

COVID Testing Protocol for Fall Break: On Monday, November 29, COVID Testing Today will be on campus to conduct COVID testing from 10 AM to 12 PM. November 29 is a faculty in-service day and there will be no classes for students, so families should be prepared to leave immediately after students receive their tests. If for any reason you cannot attend that testing date, you will need to acquire a PCR COVID test (not antigen) between Saturday, November 27, and Monday, November 29, in order to return to campus.
