FAQs About the JBS Plan
Every morning, students, faculty and staff are screened when they arrive. Their day proceeds as normally as possible but with important adjustments in the setup of classrooms and common spaces; how we organize assembly, lunch and PE/athletics; and how we ensure safe free time. Our cleaning protocols and equipment have been enhanced to ensure thorough sanitizing and ventilation of all spaces on an ongoing basis. All of these procedures will remain in place as we gradually increase the number of students on campus for full-time, in-person learning.
