Small Cohorts
Even though we are an outdoor school, we will will still take precautions.
Small, in-person classes, activities, and events. Groups of students stay together and with the same teacher throughout/across school days and groups do not mix. Students remain at least 6 feet apart and do not share objects ( in-person class structures, or staggered/rotated scheduling to accommodate smaller class sizes). [CDC.gov]
