Reopening News

We are excited to announce our plan to bring all Crowden School students back to campus five days a week, beginning next Tuesday, March 16! Online music classes will meet as usual on Monday, March 15, but academic classes are cancelled to allow the faculty and staff to prepare the campus and to review COVID safety protocols.

Monday–Friday On-Campus Schedule Beginning Tuesday, March 16

We will provide a detailed version of our new five-day schedule in this week's email newsletter. For your planning purposes, we include some high-level features of the schedule below.

The first two periods on Monday and Friday mornings will remain online, due to the overlapping of grade cohorts in the Musicianship and Instrument Technique classes. To allow time to commute to campus, these first two periods will begin 15 minutes earlier, at 7:45am and 8:45am respectively.

Arrival and dismissal times will be as follows:

Third Grade (all drop-offs and pick-ups are at the Ada Street gate):
