Dear Canterbury community,
Many Canterbury families may have plans to travel over Spring Break, or family members may travel regularly as part of their profession. Please note that Canterbury will follow the travel recommendations put forward by the CDC. For any families or family members with travel scheduled in the coming weeks, the school recommends reviewing CDC Travel Frequently Asked Questions and Answers. We ask that you follow the guidelines below if you are traveling internationally over the next several weeks.
- Consult the CDC's latest travel advisories and country-specific risk classification levels prior to your trip.
- Consult the CDC again for updated information upon your return – information is changing daily.
- If anyone in your family plans to travel to one of the countries classified by the CDC as Level 2 or Level 3, you must inform the school before you leave by contacting your child's Division Director, or contacting me directly at bennist@canterburyschool.org.
- If any member of your family travels to one of the countries classified by the CDC as Level 2 or Level 3, and returns demonstrating symptoms of the flu, we ask that you not attend school and report your symptoms and exposure risk to the Allen County Department of Health, to your primary care physician, and to the School Nurse, your child's Division Director, or the Head of School. If you return and do not exhibit any symptoms, please consult your physician for guidance about a timeline for returning to school, and be sure to let us know of that timeline.
We respectfully request that families carefully consider travel plans, the possibility of travel interruptions and/or quarantine that may delay your return to the United States or to school, and the potential impacts of your travel on you, your family, and others in the Canterbury community. Division Directors and teachers understand that there is potential that a student may need to stay home, and will work with families to ensure there are no academic penalties for this decision.
Sincerely,
Bill Ennist
Head of School
Canterbury School
