Dear Drew Families:

Spring Break is almost here! As we prepare to close out the week, we are sharing important reminders to ensure that everyone returns to a healthy learning environment to finish the school year.

Hybrid Student Reminders

If your student participates in the Hybrid Model, for the benefit of every member of our Drew Community:

Adhere to the COVID -19 pledge you’ve taken, which counts on you and your family to do your part to protect yourself and others. (Click here to review the pledge).
Encourage your child to follow Drew’s mask mandate, follow social distancing guidelines, and wash their hands regularly when on campus.
Keep your child home if there are any symptoms or signs of illness.
Ensure your family members always wear masks when interfacing with others outside of your immediate household.

If you are currently virtual and signed up to join the Hybrid Model, anticipate receiving a status update from your child’s respective academy by April 2nd.

Calendar Reminders

Drew’s April Calendar:

Week of April 5th - Spring Break
Week of April 12th - Virtual Quarantine Week* (During this week, all instruction will be virtual, and campus will be closed.)
Starting April 16th - Next COVID-19 Testing Window for Hybrid Learners opens (Click here for details and testing dates for the remainder of the school year)
Week of April 19th - Hybrid learners return to campus

*Hybrid families are strongly advised to use the Virtual Quarantine Week to quarantine and refrain from traveling on public transportation (like planes and trains) that week. (Local commuter transportation would be acceptable. ) To minimize the likelihood of becoming a health risk to others, if your travel plans extend into the Quarantine Week, click here to review Travel Quarantine Guidelines for returning to campus.

Our campus, students, and staff's health and safety depend on the choices each family makes and the precautions taken. The CDC and health experts have reminded us that the pandemic is not over. We cannot let our guard down. Know that we depend on you to do your part!

Enjoy your time away! Let’s prepare to finish the school year strong! We look forward to seeing all Drew students for virtual learning on April 12th via Zoom. In the meantime, stay safe!

For the Love of Drew,

Peter McKnight

Head of School
