The Distinctive Schools in-person learning is offered to return students to school buildings.  The COVID-19 pandemic requires Distinctive Schools and its partner campuses to enforce and maintain significant safety protocols as required by the CDC, Federal, State, and Local governmental authorities. The health and safety assurances, requirements, and expectations are higher than those of a regular school day during non-pandemic times. These requirements are enforced to protect the safety of all involved and are outlined in the DS Learn at Home, Learn at School plan.

Distinctive Schools and its partner campuses  expect all participants to follow the health and safety requirements contained in the DS Learn at Home, Learn at School plan, including requirements related to wearing face coverings, hygiene, cleaning, sanitation, physical spacing and usage of school materials. By electing to have your student participate in in-person learning, you acknowledge the heightened safety and health standards required for participation. Participants who fail to uphold expectations may be subject to removal from in-person learning for remote-learning. Cases will be considered on a case-by-case basis with consideration given to several factors.  If removal is required for safety reasons, such removal will not restrict a student’s access to remote-based learning at Distinctive Schools.  If your student has a medical condition that makes compliance difficult, please immediately contact your student’s building Director.

We are asking you to review the DS Learn at Home, Learn at School plan, and to sign your acknowledgement and understanding of it below. We remain committed to providing the safest school environment possible in light of COVID-19 dangers, and to do that, we will need your cooperation and support. The heightened safety and health measures are more restrictive than pre-pandemic school building rules, but they are critical to the well-being of our students and our families. Your time, cooperation, and consideration continue to be deeply appreciated as we—together—do all that we can in response to this pandemic.
