Effective April 6: The SJP Return to Campus for Close Contacts policy will follow guidelines published by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. If a student, faculty, or staff member is identified as a close contact, the individual will be required to be off campus for a minimum of eight (8) days. The individual must provide a negative PCR test result from day five (5) to return to campus after day eight (8).
The School has developed protocols should a positive case be confirmed on campus, or if an individual is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19.
The School is using a prevalence model of testing. In this testing model, all students, faculty and staff are required to test on a weekly basis for the first four (4) weeks of the Het Walletje Program. Individuals who were diagnosed as COVID+ within 90 days of the testing date will be exempt from testing. All faculty, staff and in season coaches will be tested, regardless of vaccination status.
Testing data will be reviewed and shared on a weekly basis. After four weeks of testing data, the School will assess the structure and format of additional testing in consultation with our Medical Advisory Group.
These are challenging times, and they impact us all in different ways. The School is committed to provide holistic programming and supports for all members of our campus community.
Parents with concerns for their son’s well-being should contact a School Counselor. Faculty and staff with individual concerns should contact Tracii Schaeublin, Director of Human Resources.
All students, faculty, staff, and visitors to St. John's Prep must fill out the Daily Attestation Form before coming to campus.
