Dear Good Shepherd Families,

We value your feedback and would like for you to complete this confidential, informational survey by Friday, July 3rd. The survey questions are designed to give us a sense of how you feel, how you will be making your decisions, and what information we might take into consideration.

If your child will be in Kindergarten-2nd grade this fall, please answer everything in the transportation section. If your child will be in 3rd-8th grade, please answer all transportation and overnight questions. If you have children falling in both of these categories, please answer all questions. Our goal is to ensure our parents and students feel safe to participate in this year's COE experiences.

Of course, we have our own criteria to consider, and we will be consulting state and city guidelines, along with guidance from our partner locations and vendors. We may need to shift components of our COE program, like transportation and overnight sleeping arrangements, to make it possible for our students to continue to participate in this Good Shepherd tradition in a fun and meaningful ways. Outdoor spaces remain the lowest risk locations for people to spend time together in terms of transmission. Let's continue to get outside, learn new skills, deepen our relationships with each other and nature, and maintain as much normalcy as is healthy and possible.

Thank you for your help and your continued support!

Dashielle Vawter and Catherine Scott
