The school reserves the right to limit student automobiles for reasons of parking space and safety. Licensed students are permitted to drive automobiles and motorcycles to school. To have the privilege of driving any motorized vehicle, the student must complete a registration form provided by the school and receive a parking permit.

Lower School

• All students are provided supplies in the Lower School. There is no need to purchase additional supplies. We will make sure students have their own supplies rather than sharing with classmates as they have in the past. Students in fourth and fifth grades are allowed to decorate their lockers, so those materials may be purchased if desired.
• Students may bring a water bottle and a snack with them each day. Additional items, such as a change of clothes, will be needed for students in grades PreK-3 through Kindergarten.
• Teachers will provide a list if anything additional is needed, during orientation.

Middle School

• 6th Grade
• 7th Grade
• 8th Grade

We are happy to announce that we are once again selling prepackaged school supplies for next year through School Tool Box. Families can access their website by clicking the link below. Please click here for the promotional flyer.

Upper School

Graphing Calculators

• Each Upper School student is responsible for having a graphing calculator (with the exception of Algebra 1 students). These students are required to purchase the TI-84 CE or TI-84 CE Plus Graphing Calculator (The TI-84 C is also acceptable) for use in their math and science courses. These calculators may be purchased online or from a store that provides office supplies. They can often be found in back to school sales for $100 (Target online had them last summer at this price), but can otherwise run as much as $140. You should know that students will be able to use their graphing calculator on the ACT, SAT, and AP exams and for the remainder of their time at Episcopal Collegiate. In fact, families will not be asked to purchase another calculator for their tenure at Episcopal Collegiate School. If your family needs assistance with a more affordable option for the graphing calculator, please reach out to Math Department Chair, Heather Benton.

Illnesses 

Requirements for keeping your child at home include:

• Fever (>100.0)
• Diarrhea
• Vomiting
• Uncontrolled Cough
• Illness  (ie.  Flu, Strep Throat, Mumps, Norovirus…) 

Students, faculty and staff should remain at home until symptom free for 24 hours without the use of medications to alleviate the symptoms before returning to school,  unless you have been cleared to return to school by your physician.   (It is reasonable to follow masking guidelines while at school) 

Please report all absences related to illness via the Illness Reporting Forms below.

Lower School Illness Reporting Form

Middle and Upper School Illness Reporting Form

Students, faculty, staff, and visitors always have the option to wear a mask while on campus. Linked below are Optional, Required and Recommended Mask Guidelines.  Please see the School’s masking policies below:

Masks Optional

• Students, faculty, staff, and visitors always have the option to wear a mask while on campus.

Masks Required

• Through day 10 following a return to school from a positive Covid diagnosis.
• While awaiting a Covid-19 test result for symptoms.
• When experiencing symptoms of illness, Covid or otherwise.

Masks Recommended

• Through day 10 following a known exposure.
• If there is a vulnerable person in the household, e.g. a family member who is immune compromised, or otherwise at high risk for complications of Covid infection.
• If you have been evaluated by your physician and are cleared to return to school and are still displaying symptoms of an illness.

When can I take my mask off after having Covid?

• After you have ended isolation you will continue to wear your mask for another 5 days.  IF you are feeling better and having no symptoms you have the option of taking an antigen test on day 6 and day 8, if both tests are negative then you can remove your mask.  However, if you still test positive with an antigen test you will still be in a mask until you have sequential negative tests 48 hours apart, or after day 10 from onset of symptoms. *Note: If your antigen test results are positive, you may still be infectious. You should continue wearing a mask and wait at least 48 hours before taking another test. Continue taking antigen tests at least 48 hours apart until you have two sequential negative results. This may mean you need to continue wearing a mask and testing beyond day 10.

How should I report school absences related to illness?

• All school absences related to illness should be reported through the Illness and Reporting Forms, linked below. Form responses go directly to the school nurse and divisional offices. *Note: School absences unrelated to illness should be communicated directly with divisional offices.

Lower School Illness Reporting Form

Middle and Upper School Illness Reporting Form

• Students that test positive for Covid-19, whether vaccinated or unvaccinated will need to isolate at home for 5 full days and return o day 6 if symptoms have subsided and the student is fever free for 24 hours without the aid of medication to eliminate symptoms. If symptoms have not subsided, continue to isolate until symptom free for 24 hours. Upon return, you are required to wear a mask for the next 5 days.
• Parents will continue to report all absences through the reporting form, linked below:
  • Lower School Illness Reporting Form
  • Middle and Upper School Illness Reporting Form
• Parents will inform those who have been in close contact with the Covid-19 person.

• Whether vaccinated or unvaccinated, isolate for 5 full days.
• If asymptomatic, you may return to school on day 6.
• If you had symptoms, but they have resolved by day 5, you may return on day 6. You must be fever free for 24 hours, without the use of medication to lower the fever. If symptoms have not subsided, continue to isolate until symptom free for 24 hours.

After you have ended isolation you will continue to wear your mask for another 5 days.  IF you are feeling better and having no symptoms you have the option of taking an antigen test on day 6 and day 8, if both tests are negative then you can remove your mask.  However, if you still test positive with an antigen test you will still be in a mask until you have sequential negative tests 48 hours apart, or after day 10 from onset of symptoms. *Note: If your antigen test results are positive, you may still be infectious. You should continue wearing a mask and wait at least 48 hours before taking another test. Continue taking antigen tests at least 48 hours apart until you have two sequential negative results. This may mean you need to continue wearing a mask and testing beyond day 10.

You must still quarantine for 5 full days. You may return on day 6 if symptoms are resolving and you have been fever free for 24 hours without the aid of medication to lower the fever. You can remove your mask after you have tested negative with an antigen test twice with 48 hours between the test. For example: On day 5, if you are having zero symptoms and feel fine, you can test on day 5. If that test is negative, you will retest on day 7. If still negative and no symptoms, you can remove your mask.

Here are the most prevalent symptoms of Covid-19 that we see on campus: headache, sore throat, fever, congestion, runny nose, cough, minimal body aches, ear ache, and excessive sneezing. Most cases involve 2 or more symptoms.

If your child is displaying symptoms of Covid-19 you can either:

• Test them using a CDC-approved Covid test kit. If negative, you will keep them home for 24 hours. If they no longer display symptoms that would require you to keep them at home, they may return to school. However, if the student continues to have symptoms, the school recommends keeping the student at home and testing again in 48 hours from the original test. If still negative, the student may return to school and it is recommended that they wear a mask until symptoms improve.

OR

• If your child is displaying symptoms of Covid-19 and you choose not to test them, you will be asked to keep the child at home for 5 full days and return on day 6 wearing a mask for 5 additional days.

OR

• You can take the child to your physician's office and get a letter of a non-Covid diagnosis with clearance to return to school.

If your student has been in close contact with a positive Covid-19 person, whether vaccinated or unvaccinated, it is recommended that they wear a mask at school for 10 days and watch closely for symptoms for 14 days. If non-symptomatic, they DO NOT need to stay home and isolate. Test if symptoms should become apparent.

• Not necessarily. Asymptomatic household contacts may continue to attend school, especially if they can quarantine away from the sick parent or sibling. We might request a rapid antigen test to rule out asymptomatic infection. We recommend masks be worn for 5-7 days following a Covid exposure and antigen test on day 5 from last known exposure.
• However, for protection of the Episcopal Collegiate community at large, if someone in a household tests positive, and the sibling displays symptoms suggestive of Covid-19 or is pending a test result, we request that the sibling stay home until symptoms have resolved or a negative test result is confirmed.

Due to our high rates of vaccination and natural immunity, Episcopal Collegiate School will not generally be communication positive cases or potential exposures. If, however, positive cases begin to accumulate in a given class, grade-level, co-curricular group, etc. the School will communicate that information to affected families as appropriate.
