WELLNESS AND THE FENN COMMUNITY
Ensuring Compliance with Protocols Fenn School Parent and Student Handbook.
their students before school begins. (Fenn will provide boys who are remote with an opportunity to accept required documents via electronic signature.)
All families will receive a link to the updated Parent and Student Handbook, and it is important to carefully review its contents (and all other summer forms Fenn provides) since many require—for the first time— acknowledgement with a signature from parents/guardians AND the student.
Consequences for Non-Compliance: Because Fenn cares deeply about maintaining the health and safety of the community, there will be consequences for breaches of health and safety protocols. Removal of masks without permission, lack of respect for physical distancing requirements, refusal to maintain personal hygiene including but not limited to hand washing, and failure to respond to redirection in any of these areas are considered student breaches of Fenn’s Parent and Student Handbook and Community Compact under COVID-19 protocols.
Fenn School Community Compact. Fenn students, families, and faculty and staff must review and sign a “Community Compact” that pledges their commitment to follow the health and safety protocols required by Fenn during the school day. The Compact also calls for responsible behavior and compliance with health official guidance and government orders in Massachusetts leading up to the start of school and outside school hours. (See the Addendum section for the full Compact.)
A first violation will prompt a conversation between the student and his division head, an official warning, and a call home by the division head. A second violation will prompt a similar conversation, warning, and call home, but will also result in the student being sent home for the remainder of the school day. After a third violation, the student will be sent home for a protracted leave determined by the division head and headmaster.
Signing the Compact: Parents and guardians can access and sign the Compact by logging into Fenn.myschoolapp.com, where all required school forms are located.
The division head will work with each impacted student and family throughout the process to discuss appropriate resolution(s) that will ultimately be at the discretion of the headmaster or his designee. Violations will not carry over from term to term, but behavior patterns will be tracked.
Students will sign a hard copy of the Compact at orientation during their first day oncampus, and division heads will review the document with them. They will also be asked to confirm their acceptance of the Parent and Student Handbook. We urge parents and guardians to review this re-opening plan, the Community Compact, and the Handbook with
