However, unless otherwise prohibited by law, prior to the first day of school, the School reserves the right to require a student/employee to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19. The School, in its sole discretion, may also require, prior to, or at any time during the school year, students to obtain additional COVID-19 vaccinations and to become fully vaccinated against influenza. The also School retains the right in its sole discretion to determine what constitutes “fully vaccinated” including, but not limited to requiring booster or additional shots for COVID-19 prior to or during the school year.

COVID-19 Testing

The School encourages all community members to be tested for COVID-19 if they develop cold or flu-like symptoms. Prior to returning to campus, after an extended leave, all students are encouraged to take a rapid COVID-19 antigen test to ensure their own health and safety, and the health and safety of their classmates when arriving on campus.

Faculty, staff, and students who are identified as a close contact of someone who has tested positive are encouraged to take part in contact tracing testing. Depending on the severity of the community spread of COVID, the School reserves the right to require members of the community to be tested for COVID-19 and/or be subject to contact tracing protocols. The timing and frequency of the testing will be at the discretion of the School's Health and Wellness Center.

Tuition Refund Insurance Overview
(2023-2024)

Trinity-Pawling School offers Tuition Refund Insurance (TRI) as a means to insure your annual financial obligation under the terms of the enrollment contract. Students are enrolled for the full academic year and no adjustment of annual charges can be made by the School for absences, withdrawal, or dismissal. The School has expenses such as facility maintenance and faculty salaries. In order to plan and maintain these services for the year, it is essential that the annual income from tuition charges be stabilized.

The plan is fully described in this Tuition Refund Insurance brochure.

This insurance will provide an allowance of tuition charges in the event of absence or withdrawal of a student for injury or sickness (100% of unused tuition), as well as, mental health (50% of unused tuition) reasons, but also in the event of withdrawal for other reasons or dismissal (50% of unused tuition) by the School (annual tuition charges, both prepaid and due are insured). 

Premium

The premium for the TRI is currently 3.1% of tuition. You must include the Language Program if the student is enrolled in this program.

Enrollment

All students are automatically enrolled in TRI when a signed contract is received by the School. The premium appears on the first tuition statement and you have an opportunity to waive coverage if not desired. In light of the no refund or cancellation enrollment terms, we have no hesitation in recommending that all parents in their own interest participate in this plan.

Waiver Form

If you do not wish to purchase Tuition Refund Insurance, you must submit the waiver form below to the Student Accounts Office no later than September 1, 2023. Please note that waivers from a prior year will not apply to the 2023-2024 school year.

International and post-graduate students must have their tuition paid in full by September 1st in order to decline Tuition Refund Insurance. A student will automatically be re-enrolled if the tuition payment deadline is not met.

Tuition Insurance Waiver Form

All of this information can also be found in the Parent Portal.
