COVID-19 FAQs

We’ve returned to full on-campus, in-person instruction for all grade levels at this time. Should state requirements change, we would follow that guidance, similar to last year. We would also consider a temporary move to remote learning if numerous cases of COVID-19 require us to do so.

At this time, we’re limiting family interactions to outside activities. We have numerous large tents on campus that allow us to hold gatherings on-campus. Families are allowed, when masked, to drop-off and pick-up their children from a specific building or location on campus.

Building community is a priority this year. At this time, events will be held outside, with food and drink at a minimum. Certain events will continue to be held on Zoom, as needed. This policy will continue to be reviewed based on state guidance and Catlin Gabel community health.

Students of all ages can purchase packaged meals from The Barn. Food will be consumed outside.

Students who are ill will be escorted to the “isolation room,” which is on the ground floor of The Barn. Catlin Gabel’s Health Coordinator will contact parents or guardians to arrange a pick-up within the hour. If warranted, the Health Coordinator will conduct a rapid COVID test.

Yes, all visitors to campus, regardless of vaccination status, must wear a mask at all times.

No, you do not need to be vaccinated unless you are a volunteer or contract worker who will be working with students.

Most buildings will be closed to visitors, as we’re primarily holding events outside. However, during specific enrollment events, there will be opportunities for students and families to enter buildings. Visitors will also be allowed to enter our athletics facility to watch indoor games.

If you became ill within 48 hours of your visit to campus, please notify the department or individual who invited you to campus.
