[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So far I know of Mater Dei, Heights, and Holy Child.

Any others?  Would love to compile a list as they announce![/quote]

What on earth are you compiling a list for? [/quote]

So that we can tick them off as they fall in line with parent/ student expectations. STA/ NCS/ Sidwell/ Maret/ GDS - are you listening?[/quote]

I think most parents at places like Sidwell and GDS want their school to follow whatever the CDC or local health departments recommend. There are families at those schools with high risk kids/parents, just like everywhere else. I'm so grateful that our school has been following the advice of its medical advisory board, and I hope they will continue to do so. These schools are not likely to be influenced by a loud minority of outliers on an anonymous message board. Everyone hopes masking will not be necessary next year. Maybe it won't be necessary in the late spring. But right now the daily cases are nearly as high as last winter's peaks, and this variant is incredibly contagious. No school wants to see community members become ill and die (as can happen, even with fully vaccinated people, and especially with elderly, immunocompromised, diabetic, or cancer patients who also might be faculty, staff and parents or caregivers). I trust my school to continue to listen to health experts, not the arm-chair epidemiologists at DCUM. [/quote]
