Trinity School COVID 19 - Trinity School of Durham and Chapel Hill

Distance Learning

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Trinity School has transitioned to distance learning for all grades, TK-12, through May 15. Campus is closed to all except faculty and staff who obtain special permission. Though this is a disruption of our normal pattern of schooling, it is not a disruption in our mission. We are committed to partnering with you in this work for the education of your children.

We recognize that this plan for distance learning may result in hardships for our families. Our decisions are based on the school’s commitment to safety and health for all of our community members and on our Christian commitment to work for the public good.

Thank you for your patience and prayers. We will continue to evaluate our situation and provide updates through email as well as through this webpage.

Charter-Spectrum offering free internet and wifi:
To ease the strain in this challenging time, beginning Monday, March 16, Charter commits to the following for 60 days:

Charter will offer free Spectrum broadband and Wi-Fi access for 60 days to households with K-12 and/or college students who do not already have a Spectrum broadband subscription and at any service level up to 100 Mbps. To enroll call 1-844-488-8395. Installation fees will be waived for new student households. (Please be patient as Spectrum is experiencing high call volume in response to this offer.)
Charter will partner with school districts to ensure local communities are aware of these tools to help students learn remotely. Charter will continue to offer Spectrum Internet Assist, high speed broadband program to eligible low-income households delivering speeds of 30 Mbps.
Charter will open its Wi-Fi hotspots across our footprint for public use.
Spectrum does not have data caps or hidden fees.

If access to high-speed internet in support of virtual learning is an issue for your family, please contact your student's division director.

Health and Wellness

Let’s all practice the two widely supported strategies for slowing the spread of COVID-19:

Good personal and environmental hygiene. As our school nurse, Kelly Hernandez, has communicated previously, washing hands, blocking sneezes and coughs, disinfecting surfaces, and being alert for symptoms are good measures. Here are some good common-sense approaches recommended by the Department of Health and Human Services.

Social distancing. Avoid large groups of people or places where contact with exposed persons is more likely. Maintain a distance of six feet from other people in meetings and social interactions. Trinity faculty and staff will be observing these directives in our meetings in the coming weeks, and we urge our parents to be cautious about gathering children and other families in settings that would make transmission easy.
