School Health and Safety FAQs
We know that every parent has a multitude of questions regarding the return of students to campus for the 2020-2021 school year, even after looking over the Community Day School Reopening Plan. If you have not read the Plan, please begin there, as many of your questions may be answered in that comprehensive document. Together with our Reopening Medical Taskforce (referred to in this FAQ as the Taskforce), we identified many of the major questions a parent may have after going through the Plan. Should you still have additional questions, please send them to questions@communityday.org.
Please Note: this FAQ is subject to change based on the recommendations of our Reopening Medical Taskforce.
