Return to Campus Plan

Our Return to Campus plan includes a gradual, staggered return at each division, allowing us to closely monitor the impact of having our students and faculty together in-person while making any necessary adjustments to ensure the success of our community’s safe return to campus. As a reminder, families can choose for their child(ren) to continue in distance learning and opt out of returning to campus.
