Science and Data Matter (Covid-19 Update from Springwell)
As Maryland schools scramble to prepare for big changes this fall, we are ready here at Springwell.
Science, data, and CDC guidelines matter
Health and safety are our first priority. Montgomery County has been consistently meeting metrics showing a decline in the number of new cases, the number of pandemic-related deaths and hospitalizations. Springwell praises the County's work in diligently and cautiously tracking progress as it reopens. We will match these efforts, and will adhere to guidelines set forth by the state of Maryland, Montgomery County, and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Capping enrollment to 15 students: secure your spot today
We are capping enrollment of our Founding Class to 15 students. Apply today to secure a spot for your child. By limiting class and school size, we will ensure the safety of our students and also maintain a cohesive sense of community, without requiring a split schedule model where students take turns coming in to school.
This fall, we have a unique advantage as a new and small school to open in-person, safely.
Get this child back to school . . . safely!
Parents, we've heard you. We hear how difficult it has been balancing childcare and learning in the home, while working and trying to stay sane. I've gone bonkers myself! We hope that having Springwell physically open this fall will be a dream come true for our founding families.
We are putting into place our own safety procedures and guidelines to align with the CDC and Maryland requirements to ensure safety in our schools, including:
attendance and sick policy
staggered drop-offs
temperature checks
hand-washing and personal hygiene
mask-wearing
social distancing protocols, including modular individual desks for children, floor markings, and outdoor time, and
regular cleaning and disinfecting practices.
Science and Data: The health and safety of your children is our number one priority.
If the science and data are showing that it is not safe to open, we are prepared to deliver instruction through a hybrid model with virtual learning combined with outdoor activities and field trips. We've been pulling together best practices for online instruction techniques through our innovative summer camps. We have successfully cultivated engagement and community in an online environment.
For those families excited and intrigued by Springwell, I hope you consider applying to join our Founding Class. Apply by next Wednesday, July 15, and enjoy a 10% discount on fall session tuition.
Stay safe and inspired,
Gloria Chan
Head of School
