Private schools Covid waivers

Wow, that sounds like a toxic situation @“Moody Monday” ! You have to sign a contract now, even though there are no in-person classes, and no start date to begin such classes?? I would imagine that it would be upsetting to know that there are “codes of silence” going on within certain groups. Although I have heard that there are such codes among public schools in our surrounding areas.

My kids attend 2 different boarding schools, one as a boarder, and one as a day student. We had to sign waivers to absolve the school of any responsibility if the kids contract covid. The schools did require that day students not participate in outside club sports, to preserve the health and safety of the communities.

As far as I know, our private day schools in the area had similar contracts to waive school responsibility if kids contracted covid. However, there are no restrictions regarding outside club sports, as I know many are still playing in their clubs. Even our public schools have continued with football, field hockey, soccer and other fall sports, as if nothing is going on. Given that private day school kids can still play club sports (and even interscholastic sports with other day schools), I doubt their contracts say anything about dining in restaurants, or going to theaters, gyms and amusement parks.
