How do I prepare for the January return?
● Complete the travel form and campus arrival form
● Self quarantine through the holiday week and refrain from gatherings
with extended family or friends outside your household
● Get a negative PCR test at home within 7 days of returning to campus
● Be careful in planning your travel back to campus
● Don’t come back to campus if you’re feeling unwell or experiencing
symptoms
● Rededicate yourself to the routines which keep you, your friends, your
teachers, and our community safe
Campus Arrival Procedure
● We will return in groups beginning on 1/4/2021:
● Monday, January 4 – Testing for day students and for ninth grade boarding students (except
leaders in other dorms)
● Tuesday, January 5 – Testing for eighth grade boarding students and floor leaders in these
dorms
● Wednesday, January 6 – Testing for sixth and seventh grade boarding students and floor
leaders in these dorms
● CMS will pick up students at the airport as necessary
● Required testing for students at the Surge Center (on campus)
● ~20 students per hour, 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM (10:00 AM-12:00 PM for day students)
● If a student arrives with concerning symptoms, he will need to return home or go straight to
on-campus care if home is not an option
● Boarding students will report directly to their dormitory pod during the required
quarantine period
● Day students will return home until the quarantine period is completed
Campus Arrival Procedure: Your First Stop!
● Use the campus entrance
for the Commons
● The Surge Center is the
white building immediately
on your right
Quarantine and Remote Learning Period
● Keep the community safe
● Support students dealing
with jetlag and/or
homesickness
● Limit screen time, get
outside
● Provide routine and
academic work
● Maintain class time and
provide boys with
opportunity to “catch up” if
necessary
● Help remote students and
midyear students
transition to our protocols
and expectations
Winter/Spring Calendar and Schedule
● While we are optimistic about the vaccine, we are realistic on its
timeline for roll-out
● Our calendar and schedule design work has been informed by feedback
from parent and faculty surveys, and captained by a group including
medical staff, faculty, and administrators
● Our goal in this group’s work was to build a recognizably Cardigan
program that balances the safety of the community; a focus on the
mind, body, and spirit of our students; and is sustainable for all
community members (adults and students) on a daily, weekly, and
monthly basis
Winter/Spring Calendar: Overview
● We will replace our traditional, off-campus Spring Break with a series of
on-campus breaks balancing time for rest, recovery, careful supervision,
and creative activities
○ One week each in February and April
○ Two extended weekends in March
○ Two additional “Head’s Holidays” as needed
● Timing the transition from winter to spring season and schedule
based on weather and availability of facilities
● Earlier end to the school year, with Commencement on May 16
Winter Schedule: Overview ● Five-day week (Monday - Friday) with formal programming on Saturday mornings, allowing opportunities for students to participate in athletics, outdoor adventures, arts, academics, and/or community service ● Academic schedule will include seven academic blocks of 40 minutes each, rotating daily ● Regular advisory check-ins ● Wednesday afternoons will be reserved for community activities, including Clubs, Dorm Olympics, All-School meetings, and/or Chapel ● Athletics will meet four afternoons/week for team-based practices, with an option for a fifth skills-based practice or intramural game on Saturday mornings ● Will re-evaluate schedule as move into spring

● Maintaining strategies from the fall: mask wearing, pod-based
community life, split dining, etc.
● One test before coming to Cardigan; two tests prior to leaving
quarantine period
● Air purification strategies in classrooms and buildings
● Rapid testing availability through Mascoma Community Health Center,
as needed for symptomatic students
● Expanding our expectations for mask wearing and for regular testingWinter/Spring: Parent Visits
● While moving away from Spring Break is likely the right thing to do for
safety and continuity, we acknowledge that it is challenging personally
● We will open up opportunities for parent visits after we have
re-established our “bubble” on campus
● Indoor meetings will be more challenging from a safety and logistical
perspective, but we will establish clear protocols before and during
visits
● We appreciate your patience, support, and understanding. We see this
as important and essential, but our plans will be focused on keeping
the community at Cardigan safe, and our school program on-campus
through this periodWinter/Spring: Secondary School Process
● Primary application deadline on January 15
● Support of ninth graders during admissions process and on decision
day (March 10)
● Second Visit/Revisit Days before enrollment decisions (April 10)
