ISB has shared its reopening plan with the community. To highlight some of the important safety measures, we have listed some specific guidelines that are important for MS students.
- Masks must be kept on, covering both nose and mouth at all times, other than eating and drinking in designated areas and manner.
- At recess / lunch, when students are playing in the field or Parkour Park, they must wear their mask at all times.
- Food must be consumed in the cafeteria or tent as assigned by grade level.
- Set meals will be available for grab and purchase in the cafeteria and tent areas. Cutlery will be individually sanitized and packaged. Payment will be made at our cashiers using ID cards. Cash is NOT accepted.
- Students may bring their own lunch, but must eat in the designated eating area (cafeteria or tent) with their grade level.
- The coffee shop/snack bar, “The Grind” will not be open for service for the time being.
- If students bring snacks from home, they will only be able to consume it, in a designated area at a specific time between classes. Students may not eat in classrooms.
- Masks may only be removed when sitting in the cafeteria behind screens, in order to eat.
- Students should bring their own water bottles for use during the day. Students lower the mask to take a sip, but must immediately pull the mask back up after taking the sip. Students may not move about with masks down because “they are drinking.”
- Lockers will not be used to start the year to prevent gatherings and to ensure students have all their materials with them in the event of campus closure.
We will go over these and many other important safety expectations with students in Advisory on their first days on campus (and before). We appreciate any additional support at home in helping our students understand their role in keeping themselves and the wider community safe.
