Additional Reminders for Students
Good hand hygiene: Count for at least 20 seconds and wash the front, back, and in-between their fingers with soap and warm water.
Wearing your mask: Getting used to wearing a mask for a long period of time takes practice. Practice in your house this week.
Putting on and taking off your mask safely: Make sure your hands are clean when putting on a mask. Take time to practice removing the mask without touching the inside of the mask and practice lowering and raising it for lunchtime.
Do you have a working thermometer? Check student's temperature every morning. We follow the CDC guideline of 100.4 or higher as our benchmark. Students must stay home until fever-free without the use of a fever reducer.
Have you purchased extra masks? Make sure you have plenty of masks at home so you can bring at least two clean masks to school every day. Mark your name on the mask. See the definition of masks under Health & Safety.
Have you selected a reusable water bottle for school? Our water fountains will not be in service. We do have the refillable stations working so that students and employees can refill a water bottle. Bring your bottle each day and mark your name on the bottle!
Stay Gator Strong with plenty of sleep, exercise, and relaxation; eat a balanced diet; and stay hydrated!
Lower School Uniform Adjustment
SAGE Lunch
Stone Ridge will provide appropriate credits to student billing accounts in December to reflect the reduced number of lunch service days this fall. (We will wait until the Christmas break to apply credits to allow for the possibility that future campus closures could further reduce the number of lunch service days.)
Athletics
Stone Ridge remains committed to our interscholastic programming and the likelihood of a resumption to competition in January 2021 as permitted through national, state, local, league, and School regulation and guidance. As conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic are likely to shift in the coming weeks and months, our goal will be to release an accurate sports season schedule by December for the community.
During hybrid learning, students will be required to maintain participation in both on-campus and virtual programming in conjunction with their hybrid schedule. Students that elect to remain completely in virtual learning will not be required to come to campus and complete virtual programming will be made available. Programming for students on-campus will take place during the school day for all Middle School students.
Virtual Physical Education in its current format will conclude on Thursday, October 1 for all Middle School students, and resume on Tuesday, October 13 for students that are participating in virtual learning that week. More information will be forthcoming, communicated directly to the students through email.
Similar to the offerings during the month of September, Middle School students will have the opportunity to stay on campus after school for limited sport training opportunities in the afternoons. After school activities for Middle School students are completely optional and will continue to be limited to outdoor team sport training that can be adequately socially distanced and accommodated on Stone Ridge field space.
Upper School
Programming during October for Upper School students is completely optional and will continue to carry a primary focus on general fitness training, combined with limited sport training opportunities. As noted in August, these fall months pose a great opportunity to strike a balance in training and preparation for seasons ahead. With several months remaining until the resumption of competition, we have intentionally focused on a general fitness approach and limited sport-specific training to support a positive environment, aiming to prevent physical and psychological burnout prior to entering our competitive seasons.
Mornings: Anticipated 8:00-8:45 am
Afternoons: Anticipated, 3:30-4:45 pm
