Visitor Policy

We are grateful to have our students on the SPS grounds and engaged in the full School experience for the 2022–23 academic year, despite the ongoing challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of our commitment to ensuring the health and well-being of our entire community, all students and employees are required to be fully vaccinated, which at this time includes the primary series of vaccines and one booster. We will continue to monitor the progress made toward updated boosters and vaccines and will update our definition of “fully vaccinated” according to the science and expert medical advice. Currently, masks are optional for community members.

 

It is with this commitment in mind that we likewise require our guests, including our students’ families, prospective students and their families, alumni, contractors, guests artists and speakers, and others, to follow SPS COVID-19 protocols.

 

• All visitors to the School must be fully vaccinated, which includes the primary series of vaccines and a booster shot. 
• Any visitor who will be working with our students will need to show a negative PCR test taken no more than 72 hours prior to their visit or a negative rapid antigen test taken no more than 24 hours prior to their arrival. Anyone who tests positive should remain off campus.
• The only unvaccinated visitors allowed on the grounds at this time are children under the age of five and in the care of vaccinated SPS families. They may enter nonresidential buildings and must remain fully masked.
• We urge all visitors traveling to our campus by public transportation to mask while traveling in order to arrive healthy and protect the health of the SPS community.
• Please refrain from coming to the School if you have any symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 or are not feeling well.

 

St. Paul’s School recommends that all international families carefully review the International Travel Recommendations set forth by the Centers for Disease Control. We urge all visitors traveling to our campus by public transportation to mask while traveling in order to arrive healthy and protect the health of the SPS community.

 

These guidelines are subject to change as we continue to monitor the pandemic and assess the health risks to our community. Thank you for your continued cooperation in protecting the health and well-being of our School community.

 

Please do not come to the School if you have any symptoms suggestive of COVID or are not feeling well.
