COVID-19

Westminster is closely monitoring news and information related to the global COVID-19 outbreak. We are mindful of our imperative to keep our community safe while continuing our daily education activities as possible and appropriate. This page serves as a centralized location for information and updates regarding the School’s response to this rapidly evolving situation.

OUR LATEST RESPONSE

Remote learning programs have been established to continue classes and schoolwork starting Friday, March 13, through the end of the school year.
While we are engaging in remote learning, our campus will be closed to students. Students should not visit campus until further notice as there will not be adult supervision on-site.
All on- and off-campus student activities and athletics have been canceled starting Friday, March 13 through the end of the school year.
All student exchange programs and summer global program trips to CDC Level 3 countries have been canceled.
The School has implemented off-campus travel restrictions for faculty, staff, and students.
Students, faculty, and staff who have traveled to CDC Level 3 countries or who are exhibiting symptoms associated with COVID-19 have been asked to self-quarantine.

Most Recent Update from President Keith Evans — May 21, 2020

Dear Westminster Families,

The last day of the school year was filled with cheers, reflections, goodbyes, and good wishes for the summer break. It’s also Thursday, so there is a new Weekly Parent Update with messages from each division head, as well as some helpful announcements and reminders. Tomorrow, we will send out a celebration of the 2020-21 year full of great photography and memories. So, only a couple more reading assignments for parents before a welcome long weekend.

I plan on staying in touch regularly over the summer, but perhaps not daily. Writing each day since we vacated campus has been an attempt to rescue from this crisis the hidden blessings that any of us might otherwise overlook. For that reason, a few paragraphs every 24 hours or so have kept me firmly connected to a sense of hope and gratitude. I further discovered that our community shares that same sense through numerous responses, all affirming a sustaining optimism in our school. That has been deeply gratifying and one more reason to be grateful.

In my March 11 message announcing the suspension of campus activities, I wrote, “The grace that we offer each other and that binds Westminster together is never more important than at times like these when uncertainty prevails.” That grace has been abundant in every corner of Westminster, physical and virtual, and among students, faculty, staff, parents, current and former Trustees, grandparents, and alumni. It has proven to be an antidote to uncertainty and will continue to be the inspiration that carries us forward.

Best wishes for a restful, refreshing, fun, and safe summer!

Onward,

Keith Evans
President
