On Friday, carpool for Early Learning and Middle Learning will begin at 8:30 am. Early Birds (before school care) will be available for both grades. 

Only students who receive a coronavirus diagnosis, a mandated quarantine, or an otherwise school-approved diagnosis (ie: mono) will be allowed to move into continuous learning. Accommodations for continuous learning will not be made due to family vacations, illness such as cold or flu, or etc. If your child is sick, please keep them home to rest and recover, as in pre-COVID school years.

If you need to drop off or pick up your EL or ML student after the start or prior to the end of the school day, please email your administrative assistant in advance and then call when you arrive to have your student brought outside.

We will welcome spectators back to campus for athletic games and arts performances this fall, and we are continuing to refine our policies surrounding these events.

Faculty, staff, and students who are not vaccinated must wear a mask; masks are optional for faculty and students who are fully vaccinated (two weeks after the last shot in the series). All visitors to campus during the school day are required to wear a mask, regardless of vaccination status. Masks will not be required when outside.

We encourage all parents to have a conversation with their vaccinated students surrounding optional mask-wearing. Each fully vaccinated student should make the decision whether or not to optionally mask based on their personal comfort level, and the decisions of these individuals - masked or nonmasked - should be treated with respect and empathy.

Faculty, staff, and students will no longer be required to submit daily health screenings on MyMedBot.

In accordance with CDC guidelines, individuals who are not vaccinated and are exposed to COVID will have a 7-day quarantine period. In order to return after 7 days, exposed individuals must take a COVID test no earlier than Day 5 of their quarantine period and report their results to nurse Wendy Rohm and their level principal; individuals who do not want to take a test must quarantine for 10 days.

Vaccinated individuals who are exposed to COVID will not be required to quarantine.

Galloway will no longer be randomly testing community members for COVID. 

While Galloway is not requiring students or faculty/staff to be vaccinated, we strongly encourage it for the safety of our entire community.

We reserve the right to inquire about vaccination status for any individual who will be spending time in a Galloway classroom.

All visitors to campus, including parents who are volunteering, must check in at the front desk of Gresham in order to receive a name badge. All visitors who are on campus during the school day must wear a mask, regardless of vaccination status. We reserve the right to inquire about vaccination status for any individual who will be spending time in a Galloway classroom.

Until further notice, we will not be allowing parent drop ins. In order to manage the number of visitors on campus at any given time, please arrange in advance for a meeting with a member of faculty and staff.
