Welcome!
Our previous COVID-19 response and pandemic recovery plans are now replaced with the shift toward individual responsibility to ensure the health and safety of everyone in our community. We have updated our COVID guidelines to align with current Mass DPH protocol.
Anyone who is feeling unwell or exhibiting cold symptoms should stay home.
Our campus is fully open for in-person appointments, academics, playgroups, consultations, events, and visitors. Some services, including Behavioral Health, continue to offer both in-person and virtual/remote services where appropriate, or when requested.
Our education leaders remain engaged with several governance organizations, including Massachusetts Education Commissioner Jeff Riley, Department of Public Health (DPH), Department of Secondary and Elementary Education (DESE) and Massachusetts Association of 766 Approved Private Schools (maaps), as well as review all regularly updated policies and documentation regarding local and state health guidelines.
The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) uses On the Desktop messages to communicate directly with superintendents and other district officials regarding COVID-19. Their archives are available for the general public to review.
