COVID response

With a strict attention to safety protocols and a flexible approach to changing conditions, Aspen Country Day School was able to stay safely open for in-person learning throughout the 2020-21 & 2021-22 school years. Here’s what it looked like:

• Everyone on campus completed a daily wellness check and stayed home when ill
• A rapid response team worked with our school nurse to monitor the health of the community
• Masks were worn by all students and teachers until spring, when a mask-friendly policy was implemented
• Children remained in grade-level cohorts
• Classrooms had extensive ventilation, air filtration, and distanced seating
• Lunch was brought from home; no communal dining
• School buses ran limited routes with fewer riders and windows open
• Strict rules around symptoms, travel, and protocols aligned with CDC and local public health recommendations
• A negative test was required before returning to school

Thanks to these measures and the commitment of our faculty and staff, Aspen Country Day School students had consistent in-person learning throughout the pandemic.
