Every student will be screened by our Health Center, though at this time, we are not planning to require testing on arrival or prior to arrival at school. We may, however, require a test of any student depending on the level of outbreak in their community, their mode of travel, or any other factor as determined by our Health Center Director. All students will be screened for symptoms with a questionnaire daily before entering class, and all faculty and staff will adhere daily to screening and testing protocols.

Whenever possible, only one adult should bring a returning student to campus for drop off; new boarding students may be accompanied by two adults, though only one may take part in the move-in process. All individuals entering campus must wear protective masks or face coverings. Upon arrival and prior to registration, students and any accompanying adult will undergo a routine screening for symptoms and COVID-19 risk. Movement on the St. George’s campus will be limited in order to promote a safe and healthy environment for all students and other campus residents.

Masks or cloth face coverings must be worn over the nose and mouth. Face buffs or gaiters are acceptable, but should be double thickness.

Flu and COVID-19 testing will be available on sight, with rapid results available. The Health Center will provide health care and isolation when indicated.

Organizing the school into stable groups allows us to limit the number of contacts for each student. At this time, we expect there to be five stable groups – four boarding groups (one for each form), and one for all day students.

Based on current advice from the Governor’s task force and the Rhode Island Department of Health, we do not anticipate significant changes to our housing model; both single and double/multiple occupancy rooms will be in use on campus.

As we adhere to our goal of establishing a safe environment that mitigates transmission, students will not be able to make use of weekend or overnight permissions. Any boarding student who needs to leave campus during the fall term must request permission through the Student Life Office, and the request will be assessed for both necessity and risk. In cases of established emergency that require students to travel, re-entry to campus must be preceded by 14 days of quarantine.

Food delivery services to students will be prohibited until further notice. We are, however, committed to providing snacks for students outside of meal times.

In order to keep our community as safe and healthy as possible in the midst of COVID-19, we are currently not allowing visitors to campus for the foreseeable future. If health conditions allow a change to this policy, we will inform students and their families.

The module structure that we will follow lends itself to frequent assessment. We believe strongly in the value of a range of assessment types. Teachers will utilize the period ending each module to assess learning for students in appropriate formats based on the respective discipline.

The Academic Office will coordinate senior schedules so that they meet requirements under the new semester structure. We will ensure appropriate flexibility and adaptations as needed for each student.

The class teacher, advisor, and the Academic Office will all work together to support the student in developing a plan to meet academic requirements that best suited to his/her individual circumstances.

Opportunities for clubs and activities will be available. As we get to a stable point in regard to incidence of illness in our community and in the larger community, there will be more opportunities to meet in person and comingle.

Increased cleaning, surface spraying and disinfecting, as well as one-way pedestrian traffic.

Yes, you will still be responsible for all tuition, net of financial aid, unless you inform the school by July 31, 2020, of your plans to withdraw. If the school receives your notice by the deadline, you will receive a full refund of all tuition paid to date. Enrollment deposits will be forfeited.

With guidance from local health officials, we expect students to be able to intermingle with others outside of their stable groups.

We are looking into ways to maintain the spirit of these traditions, while being attentive to the needs of the moment.
