SUMMER PROGRAM COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

We are dedicated to running a successful 2021 summer with the ongoing commitment of our students and staff to take care of each other and respect public health guidelines. All families agree to maximize the safety of our summer program community by:

Abiding by current Public Health measures in day to day (non-Appleby) life, whatever they may be at the time. This may include maintaining a small “bubble” of exposure outside of the program, remaining physically distant from others and/or wearing a mask in public areas, and practicing proper hand-washing, among other measures.
Being diligent about illness or symptoms of any kind. Just as has been the case in this school year, it is extremely important to keep students home if they are experiencing any signs of illness or symptoms. We understand that this has implications for families, which is why we are offering the option of purchasing Extended Absence Insurance in 2021. Return-to-program policies will be updated based on our local public health unit’s recommendations at the time.
Maintaining physical distancing. Guardians should be aware that everyone has different levels of comfort regarding exposure to the virus. If a guardian must be on campus and speak to program staff, guardians should be wearing a mask and maintaining physical distance from all students and staff.
