COVID-19 Update
for 2021-22 School Year
We have returned to in-person learning and continue to maintain our commitment to staying outside as much as possible. We have been watching the latest recommendations from local public health agencies and been continuously updating our safety protocols. Whenever indoors for any period of time, we recommend mask usage and encourage social distancing. We have added a new tent and outdoor heater and are using both of our classroom buildings as temporary warming stations during cold weather. It is imperative that all students come dressed for the weather every day. Please see this guide for recommendations on dressing children for the cold. Current Field Station families should watch their email for the latest updates.
Following the recommendations of many scientists and public health authorities, we are fully embracing the outdoor school model as a way to minimize the risk to our community while continuing to provide vital early childhood education. Field Station Preschool has always kept nature at the center of our curriculum, taking every opportunity to get kids outside hiking, playing, and exploring. We have expanded our outdoor classroom spaces, added more equipment, installed canopies, and modified lesson plans, all to be able to provide the same top quality education outside.
Of course, the situation is fluid, and we expect to continuously update our plan as conditions change. We sincerely appreciate your support and understanding during these unprecedented times.
Stay safe!
