SARS-CoV-2 Tests
We will complete this round of testing this week. All testing is done on the SAS campus. Please be sure to complete the testing waiver before your child's test. Your child must have a negative SARS-CoV-2 test before attending in-person classes.
Face Coverings
Everyone will be expected to wear face coverings when physical distancing is not possible or may be disrupted, including classrooms, hallways, and communal spaces outside of the residential houses.
Physical Distancing
Classrooms will be set up to maintain physical distancing among students. Classrooms are arranged with all desks facing in the same direction. Teachers are encouraged to use our many outdoor classrooms when it is practical and to keep doors and windows open when conditions allow. Traffic patterns in the Simmonds Building and Wade Hall for the Sciences will also be established to reduce crowding and increase physical distancing.
