Our Collective Pledge

In July, we invited any student who wished to join the conversation about re-opening to a series of conversations with the goal of creating a pledge for all students to take as we return to school, be it in a remote setting or in person.

Specifically, we asked our student group to consider the following elements:

• How to safely move into and around the building when possible.

• How to care for one another and accept shared responsibility for communal well-being.

• How to help each other make safe, responsible choices that align with the pertinent scientific community.

Students have had 4 meetings, one as a joint meeting with faculty, and will continue to work on a student-to-student compact to share in the weeks ahead. This compact will supplement the community compact that all families will sign and discuss with one another prior to the start of school.

Here you will find the student-drafted commitment for your review. Students will have time to discuss this during advisory in the coming days as well.
