  Prep students who attend on-campus learning will do so in smaller cohorts. While they will interact with our regular specialist teachers and benefit from that instruction, they will not interact with any other cohorts, indoors or outside, nor during co-curricular activities. 

   

  Playing and socializing is central to a child's development and our plan will allow our youngest learners to benefit from age-appropriate opportunities to interact, learn and play with their peers while minimizing the potential spread of COVID-19.

  Parents and visitors are not be permitted to enter the Prep. We also ask that families not park in the Prep’s drop-off zone during arrival and departure to help ease congestion. We also ask that parents consider wearing masks while on campus for pick-up and drop-off times to help us protect the health of our community.

  Boys should arrive at school prepared for outdoor recess activity with coats, footwear, and hats/gloves appropriate to the weather. Based on the current advice of health authorities, we intend for students to spend recess time outdoors, where appropriate.

  Co-curricular Program
