Classroom assignments have been changed to minimize travel throughout the School and to enhance social distancing. To keep classroom numbers small, some classes have been subdivided into smaller sections, or “advisories.” Students will either sit at individual desks six feet apart or will be separated by clear partitions. Students in the lower grades will also have designated floor space in addition to desks as optional workspaces.

Saint Mary’s Hall’s commitment to students’ social and emotional learning, well-being, and growth is a critical component of our planning for fall. Faculty have built this into the planning for their courses including a daily Morning Meeting time, and the Lower School counselor is prepared to engage frequently and effectively with students, whether in the classroom or from a distance.

Lower School recreational sports teams will not be held in the fall.

Extended Care is still being determined; more information will be shared in the later communications.

Masks will be required for all faculty, staff, and students while on campus.  Teachers will determine appropriate mask breaks for students.  It is highly recommended that face coverings be washed and a fresh covering worn each day

Students may provide their own face coverings which can be solid black, white, or purple or have a modest, school appropriate pattern.  Masks may be personalized in accordance with current uniform guidelines.  SMH logo face masks will be available in the Spirit Store for purchase.

All Lower School students will be served lunch in their classrooms. On nice weather days, homeroom teachers may take their classes outside to enjoy lunch.

Physical education and recess will continue with new health and safety measures in place.  Students will conduct PE and recess outside, with the exception of inclement weather.

Following the principle of no shared supplies, where classroom supplies are needed, students will use their own supplies.
