Arrival Guidelines and Information - Please drive onto campus via the Tirrell Rink driveway and park in the lot in front of the Smith Field House. You will exit by turning left down the South Cluett driveway.
- Please arrive for your appointment a minimum of 10 minutes early, as you will be asked to complete a health questionnaire and sign a consent form at that time. (You are welcome to bring your own pen if you feel more comfortable, but we will have some available.)
- All students under the age of 18 (birthdate after 9/1/2002) will need to be accompanied by 1 parent or guardian to sign the consent form.
- All students and parents will have their temperatures taken upon arrival.
- Masks are required to be worn by everyone.
- There will be 4 testing stations, so please be mindful of social distancing (6 feet).
- This COVID-19 test is retrieved from the anterior (lower) nasal passage. It is not the nasopharyngeal (deep) collection. For your reference, here are the instructions for gathering the sample. Please familiarize yourself with the instructions prior to your appointment.
- We anticipate that the process should take no longer than 10 minutes per person. However, we ask for your patience, should it take a bit longer.
- All students should have uploaded their negative COVID-19 test results (obtained off campus) into the Magnus Health Portal prior to arriving on campus on September 1. A student who does not have a negative COVID-19 test or who has not completed all the pre-arrival health forms in Magnus will not be able to remain on campus. We request that you bring a hardcopy of the negative COVID-19 test result when you come to campus.
- Any student who is symptomatic or whose family member is symptomatic for COVID-19 should not come to campus and immediately contact the Health Center at 845-855-4848. Symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, body aches, headache, loss of the sense of taste or smell, sore throat, or gastrointestinal issues.
- If you do not hear from the School regarding your on-campus COVID-19 test results, you should plan to come on campus on Thursday, September 3, 2020. A complete on-campus Day Student Orientation schedule for September 3 will be sent out early next week.
We thank you in advance for your help in making this run as smoothly as possible and for your commitment to the overall health and well-being of our community. If you have any questions about the arrival process for Day Students, please reach out to Josh Collins '95, Dean of Students at jcollins@trinitypawling.org. We look forward to seeing you on campus! |
