About
2020-21 School Year
We were thrilled to welcome our girls back to campus this fall and to see them in person or online as the year progresses. Significant time, thought and analysis has been given to how to maximize our girls' Baldwin learning experience and maintain a safe environment for our students, faculty and staff. Our aim is to ensure that all students can be taught in-person and on campus five days a week, while also offering options for online learning and being prepared to transition to Baldwin Wired 2.0, if needed. Our full reopening plan can be found here.

Frequently Asked Questions
List of 6 items.
-
If a student is out for an extended period of time due to illness or quarantining, will classes be available to view online? Will they be able to rejoin their in-person classes after the absence?
Courses will be available for them to join "live" while students are out by using the video conferencing links provided to online learners. They will absolutely be able to rejoin their in-person classes when they return. -
If we choose to opt-in for online learning, will we be able to return to in-person when we are comfortable?
In order to help us plan our sections and classroom assignments, we are asking parents to opt-in for the quarter – i.e., until October 30th. However, we will be as flexible as possible and work with each individual family to help a student return to in-person when they are comfortable.With this in mind, we ask that families provide at least three school days to transition from online learning to in-person learning. In other words, after notifying your daughter’s Division Director of the intent for her to return to campus for in-person classes, please allow three school days so we can physically prepare classrooms and put other supports in place for her return. -
What will my child’s schedule look like if we opt for online learning?
Students who learn from home will follow the same schedule and hear/see the teacher at the same time as students who learn on campus. They will join classes that are in progress, in the on-campus classroom. View a sample schedule. -
When should a student, faculty or staff member stay home/not come to campus?
-
What happens if a student, faculty or staff member develops a COVID-19 symptom when they are on campus?
They will be evaluated by a nurse in a division-specific Wellness Center according to the guidance above and, if appropriate, moved to a division-specific isolation area to prevent possible transmission.- New Wellness and Isolation Centers have been added, to create one dedicated area and staff member, per division. The Lower School Wellness Center and isolation area are in the former Lower School Faculty Lounge. The Middle School Wellness Center and isolation area are in the Residence, in the former Admissions offices. The Upper School Wellness Center and isolation area are on the first floor of the Schoolhouse.
- After being moved into the isolation area, a parent/guardian will be called to immediately arrange for the student to be picked up from school. Faculty/staff will be sent home immediately.
