Sanford School 2020–2021 Reopening Plan Sanford School is committed to providing a high-quality, college-preparatory program while protecting the health, safety, and well-being of our community. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, school leaders have been monitoring and analyzing information provided by health organizations, scientists, medical providers, and state and federal officials. We have also conducted extensive research to develop and provide programs, facilities, and protocols that reduce the spread of COVID-19. Understanding that public health mandates and guidelines may require the school to close or processes to be adjusted, this plan is flexible. More importantly, our faculty and staff members are prepared to respond to changing conditions. Our ultimate goal is to deliver the Sanford experience in the safest possible environment for our students, families, and employees.
Our Campus Will be Open for Teaching and Learning We are planning to open with on-campus, in-person classes for preschool through twelfth-grade students. Families will have the option to choose remote learning for their children, who can participate in live-streamed classes from home using ZOOM and Swivl technology. Students in first grade will receive iPads, and second through twelfth-grade students will receive Chromebooks for their use during the 2020–2021 school year. If conditions surrounding the pandemic necessitate closing school, we will initiate our SanfordConnected distance learning program.
