Return to Boarding Program Handbook 2020-21

Travel Quarantine Program As we prepare for the return to campus in September, it is prudent that the directives set forth by the Government of Canada’s international 14-day travel quarantine be followed upon arrival. Any student travelling from outside of Canada will have to comply with this directive. In order to be able to meet this requirement and be ready to move into Boarding on Monday, September 7, students must begin their quarantine ​ no later than Monday, August 24​ . For our Junior Don Team, who are expected to move into Boarding on Sunday, September 6, the latest they must begin their quarantine is Sunday, August 23​ . While students are required to complete their quarantine as per the Government of Canada’s expectations, the Ontario government is requiring that schools ensure that both international and domestic students who are in quarantine as a result of having entered Canada within two weeks prior to the start of their studies are tested for the COVID-19 virus at least once during their quarantine period (​ see list of COVID 19 Test Centers​ ). Students who fall into either of these categories will not be permitted to attend school until they have submitted their negative test results to the College. 1. On Campus Travel Quarantine Program (Saturday, August 22 to Saturday, September 5): ● Twice daily health screening protocols for students and Boarding Dons ● single room occupancy. ● Virtual Wellbeing Program, including daily physical and outdoor activities (on school grounds). ● School orientation meetings via Zoom. ● Three meals per day and three snacks per day, prepared and delivered to student rooms by our Food Services team and Dons. ● Daily check-ins by School Nurses and multiple daily check-ins by our Boarding Dons. ● Staff will maintain physical distancing guidelines and wear masks at all times. If they have to assist a student and come within the 2 metre distance, they will wear full personal protective equipment (PPE), which includes eye protection, masks, gloves and gowns. ● Regular mental health check-ins by our School Social Worker. ● Access to the School Physician on-call. While we understand that this is not the usual start to our school year, Havergal is committed to meeting the criteria for the quarantine period and to providing to the best of our ability a positive experience for all students. ​ For more information on this program, see ​ Travel Quarantine Program​ . 2.
