• The School will provide before and after school care for Lower School families who require supervision and care for their child during the hours before and after school. Social distancing will be maintained in this program and Lower School students will be kept in their cohorts. • MS/US students may sign up for early arrival and remain in the school building after school waiting for pickup. Students need prior approval from the Divisional office and will be assigned a space.

• Extracurricular clubs and activities are available to students. Modifications may be made to accommodate unvaccinated individuals.

3. Communication

• Students and families should contact their division leader with any questions about instruction.

1. Personal Devices

• Students in Lower, Middle and Upper School will receive devices from the School both to facilitate learning within the school walls, to ease any transition to distance learning and to provide equitable access through device use to the school program. Students in Classes K,

I, and II will receive iPads; students in Classes III through VIII will receive Chromebooks; and students in Class IX will receive a MacBook Pro as part of the program.

• The existing “Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)” program, as defined in the Upper School Handbook, will continue in Classes X through XII.

2. Internet Access

• We will provide hotspots to families and staff with inconsistent or unreliable internet access.

3. Classroom Technology • All classrooms in 590 and 610 are outfitted with Google Meet audio and video hardware so that teachers may communicate with students in-person and remotely, both those at home and those in other classrooms in the school in the event in-person learning is interrupted.

• Students will receive extensive training on both their new devices and the use of Google

Classroom.

• Faculty have engaged in, and will continue to engage in, professional development to extend and strengthen their ability to use technology effectively in both the brick-and-mortar and the virtual environments.

4. Technology Support • The Technology Department will provide ongoing support to students, faculty, and families through its Help Desk.
