Middle School: Learning Experiences

Trips We are not planning to have our traditional fall trips for Middle School this year but will create other meaningful activities to connect students. We will also consider moving these trips to the spring. Materials/Supplies Middle and Upper School students will carry their own supplies and a water bottle with them. Students will use hand sanitizer or wash their hands when they leave the classroom and when they enter the classroom. Supply sharing will not be allowed.

Lockers Locker usage will be limited this year. Although students will have an assigned locker, students will not use it between classes and locker use is limited to the beginning and end of the school day. Because of this, students are encouraged to use a backpack to facilitate class changes.

Athletic Bags Athletic bags will be taken directly to the space designated by that athletic team in the morning.

Announcements Announcements will be made virtually until it is safe to gather in larger groups.

Traditions/Assemblies While large-group gatherings are still not recommended, traditions such as Grandparents’ Day, Scholarship Walk, Big/Little Sis, family breakfasts are important to us and we will continue to find new and innovative ways to continue these connections as a community.

Birthdays/Advisory Snacks Middle School will continue Advisory Birthdays Celebrations. Snacks must be pre-packaged, individually wrapped, and in line with our allergy policies.

School-wide Celebrations We will intentionally maintain programs in a way that prioritizes safety for the community. We will update you closer to the date.
