9th Grade Students Return to In-person March 1st

Good evening, University School Ninth Grade Families! We are happy to announce that we will be moving our ninth grade students to a 4-day in-person schedule beginning Monday, March 1, 2021. In order to make any necessary seating adjustments to our classrooms, we ask that all of our ninth grade families please complete the following survey by clicking on this link. 

Please understand that every effort will be made to maintain 6ft. distancing to the greatest extent possible in the classroom and common spaces used by our ninth graders; however, depending on the number of students returning, it is possible that distancing in some spaces could range between 3-6ft.  In addition to distancing the following safety measures, will remain and expected of all in-person ninth grade students:

• Approved face coverings are required (please refer to the ETSU Face Covering Policy for further guidance).
• 6ft distancing to the greatest extent possible should be maintained.
• Handwashing and sanitizing should take place frequently and upon entering and existing classrooms.
• Desks should be wiped at the beginning and end of each class.
• Ninth graders are expected to eat only in approved designated spaces around and in Alexander Hall (University School).
• Remote students are expected to attend all assigned classes synchronously.  If you are absent from a class, a parent must contact the school office to report the absence.
• Students scheduled to attend in-person must have a parent contact the office if they are unable to attend in-person.

We are excited to have the opportunity for our ninth graders to return on this four day schedule (please refer to school calendar in the weekly update) on Monday, March 1, 2021. Please remember to complete the return survey as soon as possible and feel free to reach out to us if you have further questions.

With regards,

Drs. Partin & Day
