Yes, it was community spread NOT from school. Only one student had even been on campus and did it not spread from her at all.[/quote]

Not a ding against SR the school, as this is ALL on the parents, but the other way to look at this is that the school community DID spread it among themselves, just not on school campus or on a school event.  If 13 kids at a single school tested positive from a single event, clearly there is no respect for social distancing measures and this is why it's hard to get schools to open and stay open.

It does seem rather pointless to insist on appropriate protocols at school, when they're being ignored by a small percentage of students outside the school.

Unfortunately there was no accountability following this, and no consequences. The vast majority of students who are diligent about their exposure outside school were rightly furious about having to pay the price with the rest of the Upper School for the actions of a few. [/quote]

You don't know that there was no accountability. If I had to guess, CRK had very blunt conversations with the offending families / girls. What do you want, for her to expel 13 kids? Not gonna happen, anywhere. She did send a very clear note that these cases could have been avoided and that this kind of behavior by a few ruins it for everyone.[/quote]

Did your daughter attend the town hall? [/quote]

Haven't heard about it--I asked her about this and she seemed clueless. But then again, she doesn't tell me anything. She doesn't swim in the rich / Chevy Chase / party circle; it's like a different world to her.[/quote]

My DD is new to Stone Ridge this year in 9th grade and attended the Town Hall. She did let us know that the comments between the girls were something else to see and after awhile they did have to turn off the chat box. Because of COVID and having to go virtual so much and wear masks  actually in school, she does not really have a group of girls she is friend's with or hangs out with so she does not not know any of the girls that were supposedly involved in the outbreak. I hope its the last time that the Upper School has to shut down for an outbreak - especially one that was not caused by a school event or in person learning. [/quote]

It won't be. A lot of SR girls can be ruthless and mean. That is why they had to turn off the chat box.[/quote]

That has not been the experience for my daughter since she has been there. I think this had more to do with girls being frustrated that some of their classmates didn't take the proper precautions. Not sure that would have been different at other schools.[/quote]

Oh it's the that isn't our experience so it must not be happening response. SR sadly has a mean girl reputation and I wish we had learned of this earlier. [/quote]

PP - do you have a daughter currently at Stone Ridge?

I can only speak for my daughter's experience, and so far she has not personally encountered or had to deal with any mean girl situations. I'm sure there are some at SR, just like there are at other schools too.
