2020-2021 Reopening Plans
Charles River School is excited to reopen its campus and resume in-person learning in September 2020. In order to do this, we need to mitigate risks to the greatest extent possible, which is why we've developed the plans and protocols shared in this section of the website. Given that circumstances change frequently and information is updated daily, any of these plans are subject to change.
Opening Schedule & Important Dates
We can't wait to welcome students, faculty, and staff back to campus! In order to help introduce students to their cohorts and acclimate to new protocols, there is an amended schedule during the first week of school.
During the first week of school, Tuesday, September 8 through Friday, September 11, CRS will be in session for half days. Also, we will stagger the first two days by grade.
We will move to full days, beginning the week of September 14 - with staggered pick-up and drop-off times. Click the link below for full details.
