The Pride Pandemic Pledge Signature Required

The Pride Pandemic Pledge is a Social Health Contract outlining a commitment between all Trinity-Pawling community members. This commitment will be essential to the health of our school community as we navigate the Fall Term and beyond. It will require all students, faculty, and staff to comply with specific on-campus health protocols and mitigation strategies. We will ask all community members, including Day Students, to avoid high-risk activities and interactions that could negatively impact the health of our campus.

Please visit www.trinitypawling.org/pride-pledge to electronically sign the Pride Pandemic Pledge and agree to the commitment for the 2020-2021 school year. All students must submit a pledge signature before arriving on campus.

Remote Learning Students:

In addition to signing the pledge, all students joining the community remotely must also agree to abide by the standards outlined in the Remote Learning Honor Code. All remote learning students must submit their pledge prior to the start of classes on September 7.

Student Technology Access Form Form Submission Required

In preparation for the new school year, we request that you please complete this Student Technology Access form to inform Trinity-Pawling of your access to specific technology. In the event that students will have to attend classes remotely – either from dorm rooms (Boarding Students) or from home (Day Students) – the School needs to ensure that every student has access to a learning device.

For Boarding Students: Move-In Time Slots Form Submission Required

Trinity-Pawling Boarding Students will return in a staggered plan between August 29-31, 2020. Your move-in date will be based on the dormitory you have been assigned.

Signing Up for a Move-In Time Slot:

Trinity-Pawling is utilizing Pick-A-Time to schedule time slots for each student to move in. Please select an available time slot on your assigned move-in day, according to your dorm. It is very important that you have selected the correct dormitory and this option can be found directly above the calendar. If you have flexibility on the day you are scheduled to move-in, please wait to sign-up to allow those without the same flexibility more options.

Parents of new students will need to set up a Pick-A-Time account before selecting a campus arrival time. The time you select will be the time you should arrive on campus.
