Pre-K through Middle School

As we prepare for the reopening of school in September in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, our very first priority is the health and safety of every member of the school community. As new information becomes available and we make necessary changes to our procedures, we will continue to communicate with all members of the community.

Equally important is maintaining the quality of the education and sense of community that S.I.S. provides to our students, whether in person or remotely. In-person teaching and learning are being re-examined in light of the changes and restrictions made necessary by new protocols and procedures.

If in-person learning remains in place on September 9, we will reopen our school facility with new health and safety measures in place.  

Students and faculty will follow the safety guidelines put in place by the state such as wearing masks, maintaining social distance, reconfiguring schedules and classrooms, and enhanced personal and institutional hygiene.  

We have also created more outdoor spaces for classes, learning, exploration, and more. If at any point all NY schools must go to remote learning, S.I.S. has a remote learning plan that offers a consistent and structured learning day and maintains S.I.S.’s educational values for all grades. 

If a student will be best be served by learning remotely,due to health or other concerns, his/her family may choose remote learning from the start.

Whether they have chosen in-person or remote learning, all students will follow the same academic curriculum.  No matter where we are teaching, we will strive to fill our days with opportunities for students to explore, create, question, and interact. Our approach to education weaves the skills of independent thinking and self-reliant learning, the transformation of curiosity into motivation, the development of intellectual courage, and theme-based curriculum into an unmatched educational experience from Prekindergarten through Middle School. We stand by these values even as we incorporate the new protocols and procedures needed to keep students safe during the pandemic.
