Dear Parents,

As we continue through the Winter Term and look ahead to the coming months, we would like to share an updated calendar for the remainder of the school year with you for your planning purposes. Most importantly, please direct your attention to the fact that the Spring Term will begin with a week of remote classes before boarding students return to campus the following weekend. This decision was made with the recognition that some families may be traveling during the two-week break and adding the week of remote learning would better ensure a safe and healthy return to campus.

As is the case when dealing with an unpredictable pandemic, all dates are subject to change if the conditions associated with COVID-19 demand such change. We appreciate your continued patience and understanding as we strive to provide a safe and engaging learning environment for the School community.

Statement from the Founders League

In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and after many discussions prioritizing community health, safety, and well-being, the Founders League has unanimously, and with great regret, decided to cancel all Founders League interscholastic competition for the 2021 spring season.*

* While there will be no official Founders League interscholastic competition for the spring season, this does not preclude Trinity-Pawling from pursuing some form of interscholastic competition in ways that are consistent with our COVID-19 protocols.

If you have any questions about the coming months at Trinity-Pawling, please reach out to Donna Bellini, Assistant to the Headmaster, at dbellini@trinitypawling.org.

We thank you for your support and cooperation in keeping our community safe and healthy.

Onward!
