Coronavirus Update 8.11.21
All past communication
Greetings from Grandview,
We thank you for your patience as we thoroughly reviewed our responsibilities and rights as an independent school pertaining to recent changes in Florida law related to Covid-19. Grandview remains committed to a safe and vibrant in-person learning experience for our community. Our updated policy has been shaped by the data, counsel, and research done by top professionals in the fields of health, law, and education.
As a community, Grandview has consistently prioritized the health of our students, faculty, and staff during this difficult time. Per our legal obligation, and with the health and safety of each individual in mind, all staff, faculty, students, and visitors will be required to wear masks while indoors. Please know we understand how strongly members of our community may feel about this decision. We are confident that as a community, keeping our children safe and learning in-school is our shared priority. We thank you in advance for actively participating in keeping our students healthy and well.
In acknowledgement of Palm Beach County’s current positivity rate of 15.5% and many parents’ shared concerns, Grandview has provided an optional secondary start date of September 8th.
