Families are welcome to come to campus on arrival days! Please note that we only allow one family member in the dorm at time. This support person can change throughout the day, but there should not be more than one guest/family member in any room at the same time. Other family members may gather in one of the designated areas outdoors or in common areas in the Main Building.

The Residential Life team is working on roommate placement. Students, make sure you have completed your Roommate Questionnaire Form fully to help us select your roommates.

Roommate assignments, advisor assignments, and early arrival student leaders training schedule will all be sent later this month. For new students, make sure you have connected with your Big at least once — they are a great resource and support for you as you start your time at MHS. For boarding students, here is a reminder of the packing list.

Except during the beginning of Fall Long Weekend, which directly follows Fall Family Weekend, Miss Hall’s School provides school vacation transportation to and from Albany and Bradley/Hartford international airports, as well as to and from designated drop-off and pick-up points for Boston and New York City-area international airports. MHS arranges transportation directly to and from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) only at Fall Break, Winter Break, and Spring Break. The school does not provide transportation to any other airport or city.

The link to the MHS bookstore is https://misshalls.ecampus.com/. When you go to the ecampus site, you will shop using your class list as your guide. Boarding students can certainly have the books sent directly to MHS, if that is easier. Please make sure to use your name in the shipping address, so that we know to whom the package should be delivered. Should you have any questions about your class information that you have received, please reach out to Phil Landa, Registrar, via email: planda@misshalls.org.

All students have a bank of excused absences to use for cultural or religious observations, up to 5 days in a given academic year (September-May). Under this policy, excused absences can be taken for observations such as Yom Kippur, Lunar New Year, Good Friday, Eid-al-Fitr, etc. More information about the policy can be found in our 2023-24 Student-Family Handbook, which will be available soon.

The Miss Hall’s School Incident Response Team (IRT) closely monitors developments regarding COVID-19, making decisions grounded in real data and sound guidance from public health experts.

It is our practice to meet or exceed local, state, and national guidelines regarding COVID safety and define specific policies and protocols that work for MHS. Our current protocols are outlined below.

Any changes will be communicated to students and families as needed.

• Vaccination: All current students must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before the start of the school year. Proof of vaccination must be uploaded in the Magnus electronic medical records portal. The School also reserves the right to update its vaccination requirements at any time to protect community health.

• Masking: Masking is optional on campus and during off-campus trips and activities. The School may require indoor masking in response to community health rates and/or during times when there is more risk of exposure, such as immediately following long breaks. We encourage individuals to wear masks if they feel more comfortable doing so, and we respect everyone's choices. We also ask all to be mindful of sel-monitoring of symptoms and to wear a mask if you have been in contact with anyone who is ill.

• Testing: Per CDC guidelines and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, MHS will no longer conduct weekly community testing. We will, however, continue to administer rapid tests for symptomatic individuals as this has proven to be effective in preventing spread of the virus. If an individual experiences symptoms while on campus, they should report to the Health Center immediately for a rapid test.

• Symptom Screening: If an individual experiences symptoms while at home, please do not come to campus! Contact the Health Center for further instructions.

• Isolation & quarantine: Positive individuals must isolate for at least 5 days, per CDC guidelines. The CDC no longer recommends quarantine for close contacts; however, MHS may require students or employees to follow quarantine protocols in certain situations.

• Visitors: Visitors to campus must check in with Campus Safety upon arrival and follow all current MHS protocols. Family members are welcome to be on campus during approved visitor hours, with advance notice. For certain events with pre-registration (e.g. admissions open house, reunion, and ticketed performances), the School may require proof of vaccination. Visitors who are experiencing symptoms or have been recently exposed to a positive individual should reschedule their campus visit.

• Off-campus activities: We will offer regular off-campus activities and trips. Common Good Guidelines apply during off-campus activities. Activities may be changed or canceled based on current local or campus conditions.

Miss Hall’s requires all employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
