Dear Lang Community, We are hard at work with our campus preparations, eager to welcome back our students, faculty, and staff for the 2023–2024 academic year. Our current COVID-19 protocols are posted below. The Lang School has always taken the protection of our community very seriously, and particularly as it pertains to the mitigation of COVID-19. We very much intend to continue that effort. The School has designed our response to COVID-19 and the operating measures that we will take for this coming school year after close attention to both the regional and national data and recommendations, with the focus of continuing our academics and school life, with the minimum possible distraction from the school mission. Our approach to COVID-19 is always flexible and will be adjusted as appropriate when regional and national COVID-19 data chnage. As of the beginning of the school year 2023-24, masks will be optional for students, teachers and staff, and physical distancing and on-campus COVID-19 testing is still discontinued. It is important to note that students and employees should continue to stay home if exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19, and should contact Lang’s Administrative team for return-to-school instructions. Individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19 should email operations@thelangschool.org. The School will continue the practice of requiring vaccination for COVID-19 for all students and employees. We will closely follow regional, national, and international data and provide an update if the situation materially changes. Please feel free to contact the School at operations@thelangschool.org with any questions. Sincerely, Timon Lorenzo Director of Operations
