Unfortunately, the COVID-19 case numbers in Washington County and across our region have significantly risen in recent weeks. In an effort to maintain the safety of our students and staff, University School will continue to operate in a full remote model for at least the first two weeks in January 2021 (January 5-15). Additional communication regarding our operational plans following the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday on Monday, January 18 will be shared in January.

We do ask that you keep us informed over the break if any student or someone in your household were to test positive for COVID-19. Information may be sent directly to our school nurse, Beverly Pritchard (pritchardb@etsu.edu), or to me (partinbk@etsu.edu). If a student does test positive, we ask that you please include the student’s name, date of birth, grade level, and test date in the email communication.

We realize these are difficult times, but we do hope that you all are able to find enjoyment with your loved ones during the holiday. As always, we are extremely thankful for your ongoing support and we appreciate everything that our families and staff are doing to support the growth and learning of our students.
