NP. This is us as well.

Not going to plow through 12 pages of this thread because I know there will be the usual "let teens be teens" and "kids and teens dont' get sick from Covid" nonsense.

Outside AND masked, only. No eating or drinking.

Fortunately my DD and her friends are very aware of all this and are not balking at this at all. DD saw her best friend for the first time in many months but both stayed masked about 10 feet apart and were wonderful about it. DD noted that her peers really want to be able to get back to school and know that if they don't mask and distance and stay home, they are responsible for keepiong schools closed etc. I wish more adults were as aware as some teens seem to be.

I will probably be attacked for this, but one thing I love about having kids in private school is that it makes the choices outside of school so much easier for them and for me. They are grateful to have the opportunity to learn in person, so when it comes to any other risky behavior, the answer is "no."  They sat out Halloween parties that their public school friends attended, sleepovers with small groups, and other indoor gatherings without any pushback. It is one thing to talk about making a sacrifice for the good of the community, but it is so much easier to understand their personal responsibility to protect their teachers and the school community in more direct sense.
