I. COVID Testing
At Boston Prep, health and safety is our number one priority. We ask for your help, as families, in a few ways.
Keep your child home if they are exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 or have been in close contact with someone with COVID-19. If you believe your child is exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 or has been exposed to someone with COVID-19, please immediately contact our nurses, Ms. Golafaie, Ms. Etheart and Ms. Fenoglietto, at nurses@bostonprep.org. Our nurses will partner with you to determine whether your child must remain home from school and for how long.
If you have not yet registered your child for our FREE COVID testing program, please do so now!
II. Upcoming Family Town Hall - UPDATE
Our December Family Town Halls that were scheduled for 12/7 & 12/15 have been cancelled! To register for future Family Town Halls, please register here. The 2022 dates will be published soon, please visit our website to view the dates.
Middle School will be having grade-level family town halls later this month. Parents/Guardians should expect follow-up communication from Ms. Gregory. PLease pay attention to your emails for more details.
We are eager to have as many families as possible join us for this Town Hall so that we can continue to partner together to ensure Boston Prep is an excellent, equitable school for all.
