Vaccination

The Lawrenceville School’s return-to-campus plan for fall 2021 is dependent upon all eligible individuals being fully vaccinated against COVID-19, which was the basis for our vaccine mandate that we communicated in May. The School is only granting medical and religious exemptions.

self-reported vaccination rates:
  • 99% of faculty
  • 91% of full-time staff
  • 98% of students

Weekly Test Results

Testing Strategy

Beginning the week of October 11, the School reduced testing from twice-weekly to once-weekly for most community members. This is an intentional and anticipated step following our evaluation of testing data from Phase 0/onboarding, during which we had four positive student cases and three positive employee cases and Phase 1, during which there were no positive test results. 
 
There are limited exceptions to this testing schedule, as outlined in a community communication on October 1.
 
Results are expected back in 48-72 hours. The number of individuals currently in isolation is reported immediately, while the number of individuals in quarantine will be updated as contact tracing is completed. Per CDC guidelines, vaccinated community members who are identified as close contacts should self-monitor for symptoms, but do not need to quarantine.
 
In addition to screening testing, Lawrenceville's Health Center will continue to test any symptomatic individuals with rapid PCR machines.
 
All students were required to bring proof of a negative pre-arrival PCR test, taken 3-5 days in advance of arriving to campus, to registration.

COVID-19 Reporting: 2020 - 2021

The School conducted twice-weekly surveillance testing during the in-person fall and spring terms in 2020-21. This was supplemented by contact tracing with POM Readers and traditional methods, as well as other mitigation measures.
