Holiday Travel Protocols

November 09, 2020
By Julie Strickland

As communicated in Head of School Jon Alden's November 4th Update, Springmont will now ask all families to adhere to the following regarding air travel. 

  • If any member of your household travels by air, your child(ren) will remain off campus until a negative test, administered 5-10 days after completion of travel, for the air traveler(s) is provided to the school.   Alternatively, your child(ren) may complete a 14-day quarantine.
  • If your household receives a person who has traveled by air, your child(ren) will remain off campus until a negative test, administered 5-10 days after arrival, for the air traveler(s) is provided to the school. Alternatively, your child(ren) may complete a 14-day quarantine.
  • Please email feedback@springmont.com:
    • To notify us that a member of your household has/will travel by air or your household will receive/receives a visitor who has traveled by air
    • To notify us if you know or suspect a member of your household has been exposed to COVID-19
    • To notify us if a member of your household has/has had symptoms of COVID-19
    • If you have questions or concerns

Please know that the measures listed above are being put in place for the health and safety of the entire community, including our teachers and staff and your child(ren)’s classmates. Our Community Agreement and Daily Health Screening may require those who travel and/or gather in groups outside their households to quarantine afterward.  If you have any questions or would like us to review your family’s plans in advance, please email feedback@springmont.com.

Please keep in mind that our support for students in quarantine is designed for those who inadvertently are exposed or contract the virus and must stay home for an extended period, not to allow for students to learn from home after travel/holiday visits or as a preferred option.
