Greetings Chatham Hall Families,

After careful consideration, we have come to the exciting decision to open up more of our off-campus activity options. Following the long weekend, you can expect to see more:
  • Weekend trips to Greensboro and Winston-Salem. Both of these towns have mask mandates for any of the establishments students would be visiting (mainly shopping and restaurants with outdoor seating available).
  • Local food runs to Dairy Queen, Chipotle, Starbucks, McDonald’s, Danville Mall, and Downtown Danville. While students will be able to go inside restaurants and place their orders, they will be masked and will not eat inside any establishment that does not offer outdoor dining. 

In addition to the wider variety of off-campus activities, I want to take this opportunity to remind families that, with pre-approved leave requests in REACH, students may leave campus on any open weekends this year. This includes going home, going to a friend's house, and going off campus with family or a friend’s family. For this to be successful throughout the year, it will be important that families follow CDC recommendations regarding masking and other COVID-19 precautions.

I would like to remind everyone that following the Fall Long Weekend, we will test all community members for COVID. Nurse Lynne will be in contact regarding that schedule.

I hope you all have a wonderful, relaxing weekend!

Sincerely,

Marin Miller
Dean of Students
