Masks are now optional on our campus. That said, we have a very few teachers or family members of teachers who are at heightened risk for serious complications from COVID due to medical conditions or treatments. Those teachers may ask students to please help protect them by wearing masks while in their classroom.

Masks are still required on vans and buses for school transportation.

The Pima County Health Department has approved TGS as a "lab/testing site" for the rapid antigen tests. Five staff members are trained to do the testing on site. Students may be tested at school if staff determine that this should be done; however, a student must have a consent form on file to be tested.

Yes. All instruction is in person, and we are building community by once again coming together for traditions and rituals that include division and grade-level activities, performing arts events, and athletic competitions.

We are continuing safety protocols begun last year including frequent hand-washing, hand sanitizer available throughout campus, air purifiers in each classroom, social distancing, and outdoor learning spaces.

While we are not requiring COVID vaccinations for enrollment and class attendance, vaccines are required for school-provided transportation such as interim week, athletics, and other group travel. For students age 18 and older, fully vaccinated means having received a booster when eligible.

We invite families to self-report COVID vaccines by emailing proof of vaccination to Ms. Joyce Caughron, our receptionist in Zeskind Hall (jcaughron@gregoryschool.org).  As with all other medical information already required by the school, this information will be kept confidential.

Visitors to the school such as vendors and prospective families continue to be required to stop at the security gate for a health screening. Visitors are encouraged to conduct business by email or phone whenever possible.

SAGE Dining is serving fresh lunches made on-site, including hot options served by SAGE staff and a large selection of grab-and-go sandwiches, salads, and fruit in the dining hall. Students will line up outside of the dining hall and will be admitted inside in small groups to select their lunches. Students will eat outside. 

A signed, submitted Gregory School COVID waiver is required for all students.

Pima County maintains a Combined COVID-19 Information and Resources page focusing on local programs and opportunities, as well as information for schools and parents. In addition, they offer a "When to go Back to School" tool, to help parents navigate if their student contracts or is exposed to COVID-19.
