Spring 2020
In March of 2020, the Marianapolis community faced a challenge. This challenge was unprecedented and global, arriving full-force with little warning, and leaving little time or recourse to resolve. The pandemic that struck this winter affected communities around the globe, including every secondary school in the U.S. In the past few months, Marianapolis has stood apart from peer institutions as a prime example in the industry; for virtual education, we were already prepared.
In the days when the virus first reached the United States, our plans were already in place, though we did not know at the time if or when we would need to put them into action. As the time did come, our students and teachers had a seamless transition from the physical classroom to a virtual one. Although the new format was different from our typical September-June format, the social interaction, lessons, and exchange of ideas continued. Our outstanding faculty, and our remarkable students, took this new reality in stride.
View the FAQs below to see how we handled the spring of 2020.

Academics & College
Academics
Q: How will online learning and classes work?
A: This spring, each of your courses will take two forms: synchronous and asynchronous learning. Synchronous learning means that your class will meet online in real-time. Your teacher will create a learning experience for your class to engage in together and teach the class much the same as when you are all in the room together. Asynchronous learning involves coursework that does not happen in real-time. Your teacher will provide you with additional work that is self-directed learning. Homework assignments will still be associated with each class meeting. You will communicate with your teacher via Canvas and WebEx.
Q: What will the schedule look like? How do I know what is optional and what is required?
A: The daily schedule has been modified to accommodate students around the world. The schedule will continue to provide all support systems, including office hours, advisory, peer leadership, and wellness class. The first two-week schedule is available here and will be posted within each canvas course. Please note those areas requiring attendance on a daily basis. This includes all scheduled classes, advisory, and extracurricular activities. For those who are able to access, a Google Calendar will also be created.
Q: Why do we have only the first two weeks of the schedule available to us?
A: There are areas of the schedule that will continue to evolve as we monitor the current situation and as we adapt to our new platform. Know that while certain aspects of this schedule are fixed with class and advisory meeting times, other components will continue to be evaluated and will be modified to answer to the needs of our community.
Q: Will attendance be taken? What if I am not feeling well/unable to attend online classes?
A: Yes, attendance will be taken at the beginning of every mandatory class/meeting. If you are not able to participate in a class due to illness or an extenuating circumstance, please have your parent or guardian email in your absence to attendance@marianapolis.org and we will update your student’s teachers. Your teachers will record all absences and tardies in the same manner as the regular school year. If the absence is excused, you will be able to complete the work in a timely manner, with no penalty for the additional time.
Q: Is there a dress code for the students?
Dress code for online learning is a relaxed dress code. We ask all students to remain respectful to all members of their class with appropriate attire that would be worn on any MPrep dress down day.
Q: Will I be notified if my student is not present for an online commitment?
A: Adults will notify the school if a student is not present for an online commitment. We will do our best to email the student and family as soon as possible to remind them of this commitment. Advisors will continue to monitor each advisee's progress and report to families concerns and/or positive reports. Student Academic and Behavioral Reports (SABR) will continue to be posted regularly on your portal.
Q: How will the School ensure that I can learn in the online format?
A: Teachers have been working to develop lesson plans using online platforms and digital resources that will ensure continuity of learning for all students. Students will be called to engage with their teachers throughout a range of methods, including class participation, discussion boards, and one-on-one meetings. Ongoing communication with the advisor will continue. Teachers will be available for students during office hours and will be assigned to any students who show such need.
Q: Will everything be on Canvas?
A: Absolutely. This is the location for everything you need. All assignments, WebEx class links, assessments, videos, powerpoints, etc. will be on Canvas.
Q: Is it too late to become an Observer of my student in Canvas?
A: It is never too late. If you have not done so already, you can become an observer of your student's Canvas courses by following the steps in this video.
Q: How will our science labs and hands-on activities translate to the online format?
A: The science faculty are committed to providing a robust educational experience, including all skills and knowledge associated with laboratory work. Your teachers will update each course syllabus and explain this process on the first days of online learning.
Q: How will I be graded? Will I need any additional work to complete the school year and earn credits towards graduation?
A: All students in grades 9-PG will continue to earn letter grades for their school work. Teachers will ensure that meaningful learning is taking place and will use a range of approaches to assess student learning to determine that grade. Grades will be recorded and reported to parents as in the past. For the Class of 2020, successful completion of all scheduled courses will ensure graduation status in June.
Q: What will grades be based on if some things cannot be done online?
A: Your teachers will update each course syllabus if need be. Be assured that all methods and skills can translate to the online platform.
Q: How will our written assessments be submitted online?
A: Each teacher will utilize Canvas as the main point of contact for all assignments and assessments, and you will submit all of your work through Canvas. Presentations to the class will be done through WebEx with a recording of each class.
Q: What does this mean for school events, for example, NHS Induction, Science Fair, Prom, Graduation?
A: It is difficult for us to say with certainty what the situation will look like in a month or two. While we are hopeful, we are also realistic and will look to your safety first. At this time we are reviewing all scheduled events. While each may take on a different “look,” be assured that we are committed to celebrating all of your accomplishments.
Q: What resources are available if I begin to face challenges and difficulties with learning?
A: The teacher remains the first resource for the student if they face learning difficulties. Teachers will make themselves available for all students during Office Hours. Parents can also request a meeting through the student’s advisor. This meeting will be conducted via WebEx to ensure accessibility. In addition, Mrs. Drew, Mr. Poirot, and Mrs. Tata all remain available and will put additional support in place if need be.
Q: I am becoming extremely anxious about the situation that has led to this change and also the change itself. What resources does the School have to support my student?
A: Our school counselor, Mrs. Michelle Drew, can offer support and guidance in this situation.
Q: My student has a learning difference, and prolonged screen time can exacerbate the symptoms, making it very challenging for them to learn. What support can the School provide?
Our learning support team, composed of the Academic Resource Advisor, Academic Dean, and Associate Head of School can provide additional support for students with learning differences. Not all online learning is dependent on extended periods of screen time. Students will continue to be assigned work that will need to be completed without screens, including reading and hands-on projects. Teachers will continue to be mindful of the kinds of assignments they are creating. Accommodations will be reviewed and will continue in support of the student.
Q: Do I need to attend study hall if it is on my schedule?
A: No, you do not need to report to study hall. This is an independent study time that we encourage you to use to complete your work and prepare for assessments.
Q: Are there any constraints or limitations associated with using a cell phone to access my class?
A: Not all devices support all of the features. Once classes begin, speak to your teachers about any difficulty you are having. This resource may help to you as you prepare.
Centers of Excellence
Q: If I am a junior, how will I continue with the internship seminar course?
A: Keep reading the assignments on Canvas and continue to submit your work as you did for the third quarter. Dr. Sembor will continue to monitor your progress and is online to support you.
Q: If I am a senior, how will I complete my English Capstone presentation?
A: Continue to work with Mr. Riedy. We are planning on possible ways for you to complete and develop your capstone presentation and to present and share with your fellow classmates, internship sponsors, parents, and community members.
Q: If I am a junior, what will happen with my internship?
A: Dr. Sembor will be working with all juniors on an individual basis, developing their internships. Given the fluid state of the current COVID-19 situation, internship placements already developed may need to be postponed until the summer or to a time when internship sponsors are ready and able to work with our students. Other placements in the development stage may be postponed because potential sponsors must deal with workplace health concerns, limitations, and restrictions imposed by COVID-19. If juniors cannot complete the internship requirement by this summer, we will extend that component of the Centers of Excellence into senior year.
Q: If I am a Centers of Excellence senior, what will happen at graduation?
A: As a graduating Centers of Excellence senior, your diploma will still have the COE distinction, recognizing your accomplishments in the program.
Q: If I am a Centers of Excellence underclassman taking a COE course, how will my status be impacted?
A: There will be no impact at all on your COE status because your classes will be delivered to you through Canvas and Webex, as are all your courses.
College Placement
[All] If we want to speak with our college counselor while school is not in session on campus, will there be opportunities to do so?
A: Absolutely. Regardless of your grade or where you may be in your college search process, we always welcome students and families to reach out with questions. It’s usually best to schedule an appointment with one of us in advance, either by phone or email so we’re sure to be available for you.
[All] While I’m at home, what should I be focusing on when it comes to my college search?
A: [Freshmen & Sophomores] In the coming weeks, our office will be sending out an email to you about an online program called SCOIR. You will be able to use SCOIR to help you in your college process. It will allow you to do research and learn about different schools and the majors they offer. We encourage you to explore and have fun with the SCOIR program. We will be sending your advisor activities to do with you during advisory sessions this spring to help you learn more and get you started on your college process!
Sophomores, in addition, we will also be having you fill out a survey to help us prepare for our individual college meetings with each of you. This spring, we will have you complete the survey and then we will look to schedule our Junior College Meeting with you over the summer.
[Juniors] This is a great time to begin your research on colleges! With your Junior College Meeting completed, please make sure you are working on learning more about the programs that interest you! Refer to the list of universities/colleges your Counselor has helped develop for you in Naviance (found under the “Colleges I am Thinking About” tab) and explore each of their websites to learn what individual majors they offer along with what each school requires of you to apply. Use your SCOIR accounts as well to learn more about each of the programs, acceptance rates, etc. You can even do a virtual visit through SCOIR using YouVisits! Take a walk on their campus in the comfort of your home!
The College Office will be reaching out to you through advisory to also complete some important tasks this spring to help prepare you for the application process this fall. Letters of recommendation, your college counselor form, and other important information will be coming through the advisory program!
As always, if you have any questions or need to have a meeting, Mr. Richardson or Mrs. Kelly are happy to set up a WebEx meeting with you to address any concerns.
[Seniors] As you begin to make important decisions on where you plan to attend college in the fall, you will want to invest time weighing out the pros and cons of each school. We recognize it will be harder to make a decision without a trip back to your top choices (as most are closed during this time), but know many colleges realize this too. Make sure to go online to their websites to see what they may be offering (some may offer web-based sessions, etc.). Some are extending their deposit dates. Connect with their Admission Office to ask them any questions you may have and/or confirm any details. They will be happy to help you.
Take time researching and learning what you need to know and what your best choices are (academically, financially, and environmentally) so you can make the best decision for yourself. Use SCOIR’s feature, YouVisit, for virtual tours to help you see each campus. If you would also like additional resources on how to weigh out your choices, please reach out to your College Counselor so they can support you.
Keep the College Office updated by recording your decisions in Naviance. It is important for us to know your options so we can support you in your entire process.
[All] I’ve heard many colleges are closed to visitors and they’ve canceled admission programs like tours and information sessions. Is this true?
A: Yes, this is true. Like many other schools, organizations, and corporations, many colleges and universities have decided, for the foreseeable future and out of an abundance of caution, not to offer opportunities for visitors to come to campus. If you want to visit a college or university anytime beginning now and through the end of the summer, we urge you to call ahead to inquire if this is permissible, and if so, what opportunities are available to you.
[Juniors & Seniors] What about National College Fairs, and other programs and events off-campus; will college admission representatives be available anywhere else for me to meet them?
A: No. Most colleges and universities have canceled all spring Admission travel. All of the large programs such as NACAC National College Fairs have been canceled. Continue to monitor this link for more details and updated information.
[Juniors & Seniors] If I can’t go to the colleges I’m interested in, will they be visiting Marianapolis this spring?
A: Most likely, no. Based on the information the colleges have shared with us thus far, most schools are canceling their on-site visits this spring. That said, we only had a few scheduled visits on the calendar for the spring prior to the coronavirus concerns. Please note, we will work to first confirm the plans of each of these schools and update you. We are working with some schools to see if we can offer WebEx visits/presentations this spring to learn about their schools and/or discuss college topics in our Lunch & Learn series.
[Seniors] I’m a senior, what resources do I have to help me in making a decision regarding where to enroll?
A: As you begin to make important decisions on where you plan to attend college in the fall, you will want to invest time weighing out the pros and cons of each school. We recognize it will be harder to make a decision without a trip back to your top choices (as most are closed during this time), but know many colleges realize this too. Make sure to go online to their websites to see what they may be offering (some may offer web-based sessions, etc.). Some are extending their deposit dates. Connect with their Admission Office to ask them any questions you may have and/or confirm any details. They will be happy to help you.
Both Mr. Richardson and Mrs. Kelly are also available to you during this spring to talk about your college decision and are more than happy to arrange a WebEx meeting with you and your family to discuss any of your college questions as you make your choice.
The College Office recently invited you to create an account with a new online platform called SCOIR. SCOIR is a valuable resource for you to use to help evaluate your college choices. One key resource within SCOIR is their YouVisit program which allows you to do a virtual visit to a campus. Again, we also suggest you go on to each of your top school’s websites to see what they may have available to you there; many times they may offer videos, chats, and other resources to help you get a “feel” for their campus community.
Take time researching and learning what you need to know and what your best choices are (academically, financially, and environmentally) so you can make the best decision for yourself. Use SCOIR’s feature, YouVisit, for virtual tours to help you see each campus. If you would also like additional resources on how to weigh out your choices, please reach out to your College Counselor so they can support you.
Keep the College Office updated by recording your decisions in Naviance. It is important for us to know your options so we can support you in your entire process.
[Seniors] How can I keep my Counselor informed about my college decisions?
A: Please use Naviance. As we are limited to our day-to-day interactions and conversations, we ask each of you to please make sure to update your Naviance accounts to let us know of your college decisions. We want to have this information to help support you in your process. In addition, an email to your Counselor with an update on your college decisions is welcome too!
[Seniors] Will my financial aid be impacted by the college closures?
A: We recognize the financial part of this process is an important piece in your decision. We encourage you to contact the financial aid office at the school of your choice to address any questions or concerns you may have. They will be your best resource as they have specific information regarding their school and programs. Make contact in their office to have as a resource in the weeks to follow.
[Seniors] I’m applying for scholarships that require additional school documents. Because Marianapolis is closed and I’m unable to come to campus, how can I accomplish this?
A: Our College Office will be happy to help. Reach out to your College Counselor to let them know what is needed and they will work with you to help get the necessary information. Please pay strict attention to deadlines, though, so you can give ample time to support your application process.
[Juniors] I was planning on taking the May SAT, but now realize it's been canceled. Can I take the SAT in June? Will ACT be offered this spring? When will future tests be offered?
A: In response to the rapidly evolving situation around COVID-19, the College Board (owners of the SAT) has canceled the May 2, 2020, SAT administration. Makeup exams for the March 14 administration (scheduled for March 28) are also canceled. Students who already registered for May, whose March test centers were closed, or who do not receive March scores because of any irregularities will receive refunds. The next SAT administration is scheduled for June 6. Continue to utilize Khan Academy to prepare for future test administrations.
ACT recently announced their April 4 test has been rescheduled to June 13; students planning for this should consider utilizing ACT prep through act.org. We do not administer the ACT at Marianapolis, so students planning on taking the ACT in June or on subsequent dates should seek more information directly from their test center.
[Sophomores, Juniors, & Seniors] As an international student, I need to take the TOEFL test. When can I do this?
A: TOEFL testing for the spring semester has been suspended. ETS is pleased to introduce a solution for students who have been impacted by COVID-19 to take the TOEFL iBT® test at home until the fall semester resumes. Testing will be conducted through the use of live remote proctoring serviced by ProctorU®. This high-touch, real-time human monitoring of test sessions limits the number of seats available. Students can register beginning today in the following countries:
- United States
- Canada
- Colombia
- France
- Germany
- Italy
- Spain
- Hong Kong (China)
- Macau (China)
ETS is working diligently to provide this at home option in other affected areas as well. They will share additional details about the roll-out plan as they are able and appreciate your patience as they work toward this goal of accommodating all students impacted by this pandemic.
ETS is taking every precaution to ensure that the tests students will take from home meet their high standards for validity, reliability, and security. They are employing multiple best-in-class security measures that use both real-time human monitoring and artificial intelligence technology:
-
Live proctors will ensure constant vigilance, including confirming the test taker's identity and scanning their home environment before testing begins, flagging any suspicious activity and intervening if necessary.
-
Artificial Intelligence technology — such as facial recognition, gaze tracking and video recording of the entire session — will guard against malicious activity. Examples of test taker activities that AI will flag as possible cheating incidents include attempts to open a new browser, run unpermitted software and use unpermitted objects such as a cell phone (so, don't do this).
Find more details about security measures and answers to other questions you may have on the TOEFL webpage dedicated to this purpose. Should you need ETS's support during this time, or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to them at TOEFLnews@ets.org
[Sophomores, Juniors & Seniors] I’m concerned about my upcoming AP tests. Will they still happen in May?
A: Our College Office continues to stay updated with any AP exam notifications from the College Board in response to COVID-19. In these ever changing times, their website has been a vital resource keeping us aware of any decisions. We will continue to look for guidance from the College Board as the exams approach. As we get closer to the exam weeks, we will update you if there are any changes to the schedule. Please see the College Board website here to stay informed.
[Sophomores, Juniors & Seniors] As a prospective student-athlete, I’m hoping to play sports in college. How can I keep my athletic process moving forward?
A: Due to many colleges and universities closing their campuses and moving to a model of all virtual learning online, they have also canceled their spring athletic seasons and no one, including coaches, is on campus. Coaches are not traveling for their colleges right now to visit with prospective student athletes, and because our Marianapolis spring athletic season has been put on hold for the moment, everything must be done online.
If you’re interested in playing sports in college, we urge you to continue completing the “Recruit Me” questionnaires online at each of the colleges or universities in which you’re interested. Create or update your athletic resume, utilize this time to create film clips if possible, and reach out to college coaches via email to introduce yourself and supply them with any of the content you’ve created to promote yourself and your interest.
[Seniors] As a senior, I’m concerned about making a decision to enroll at a college or university without having the opportunity to revisit because they’re closed. Can I get an extension on my enrollment deposit?
A: Many colleges are extending the enrollment deposit deadline to June 1, but this certainly is not the norm. If you’re considering matriculating at a particular school, step one will be to understand when your enrollment deposit is due; this will allow you to know how much time you have to do your research. Utilize technology as much as possible; log on to your new SCOIR account and utilize the online virtual tours offered through the YouVisit feature. Colleges and universities utilize online tours to differentiate themselves, to convey their campus culture, and to tell their unique story. You can now visit virtually any campus, right from the comfort of your own living room!
WebEx
Q: What is WebEx?
A: WebEx is an online meeting tool that allows you to meet with anyone in the world using your computer or mobile device. With WebEx, you can connect using audio and video for a face-to-face meeting experience, plus share documents, applications, or online content with the participants.
Q: Do I need a WebEx account to join a meeting?
A: No. Only the host (your teacher) of the meeting needs to have a WebEx account.
Q: What do I need to use WebEx?
A: You will need a computer or laptop with speakers, a webcam, and a set of headphones. You will also need a reliable internet connection.
Q: What mobile devices support WebEx?
A: WebEx meetings may be accessed using the WebEx Mobile application on any Android, iOS, Windows, or Blackberry device. Please be aware, you will need to be connected to a wireless network with your device or you may consume data minutes on your mobile service plan. If you join WebEx from your mobile device using your cellular data service, your ability to share or view video content will be limited by the strength and speed of your cellular connection.
Q: How do I join a WebEx Meeting?
Q: How do I know if my browser is compatible with Cisco Webex Meetings?
A: Easy. Try this "Join a test meeting" link.
Q: I want to enter the WebEx meeting, but it says the meeting has not started yet. Can I still join?
A: As long as it is less than 15 minutes before the scheduled meeting time, sure. WebEx will start a meeting client, and you will enter the meeting space and receive an announcement that the host has not joined yet. When the host joins, your meeting will get going.
Student Life
Q: What is going to happen with extracurricular activities, prom, and other events I am looking forward to this spring?
A: These are all really important parts of the Marianapolis experience and the idea of not having them is disappointing and upsetting for us. We imagine it is for many of you too. Today, we don't know what late April or May will look like. Whenever possible, we will reschedule and not cancel major events and as much as possible create digital versions of them. Prom will not take place in April however we are hopeful it safe to do so at a later date within the school year. If you have questions about a specific event, please reach out to Mr. DiCicco.
Residential Life
Q: Is campus closed?
A: Boarding students who spent spring break on campus are in the process of departing. No additional students are permitted to move back onto campus until further notice.
Q: Can I get my things from my room if I am off campus?
A: Effective March 22nd campus is closed to students getting items. We will work with boarding students and their families thereafter on recovering needed items until such time the campus again opens to visitors.
Q: Will the school store or ship items in my room?
A: Students who have traveled home are not required to return to campus to pack up their room. The school will pack up rooms and store items for returning students. Seniors may choose to have items stored on campus for later pick up or the school can ship them, at cost to family, to another location.
Counseling Office
Q: How do I combat mourning the way things were and that they may never be the same again?
A: Mourning the loss of how things were is a natural response to the sudden changes that are happening right now. Allow yourself time to mourn this change, but give yourself a time frame when you will return to looking forward and making positive steps towards your future. Providing an outlet for the grief (either friends, family, journaling, art, etc.) is a way to process these feelings and accept the “new normal” for what it is. It is important to acknowledge the impact COVID-19 has on your life and make plans to demonstrate your resilience throughout this difficult time.
Q: How do I deal with negative thoughts that have arisen since COVID-19 impacted my life?
A: Negative thoughts, although unpleasant, can tell us about our thought processes, our priorities, and our ability to think creatively and productively. Pay attention to these negative thoughts and look to reframe them into something more positive, as difficult as that may be. Understanding our thoughts is the first step in the cognitive-behavioral triangle, an evidenced-based therapeutic technique used to treat depression and anxiety. Once we know our thoughts, we can examine how they are affecting our emotions, which will, in turn, affect our behavior.
Focus on what you can do and what is positive in your life so you pull yourself out of the circular pattern of negativity. While COVID-19 is not ideal, it can be motivating and create more intentionality in our daily lives by shifting our priorities during this time of social distancing.
Q: How do I keep connected to my friends and teachers when I am practicing social distancing?
A: SOCIAL MEDIA! WebEx!
Q: How do I manage my anxiety during this pandemic?
A: Self-care is critical to practice during a time of uncertainty and intense emotion. Do something that makes you feel good: draw, dance, paint, journal, exercise, watch tv (in moderation), listen to music, talk to friends. By doing things that you are comfortable with, passionate about, and relaxing, you will recharge your mind and be in a better place to take steps forward.
Use a technique called temporal distancing, which is focusing on a longer timescale, to keep things in perspective. Looking at the larger picture of time can provide relief that society has gone through things like this before and survived.
Limit the amount of information you consume about COVID-19. Recognizing what is a helpful amount of information to make informed decisions vs obsession and feeding into anxiety will be critical to your self-care and outlook on this time period.
Use reliable sources. Do not rely on social media to be the sole informant of your understanding of COVID-19.
Distract yourself. Get up, move around, try new things; these will all be anxiety-reducing actions to combat the dysregulation you feel as your anxiety increases.
Q: Will there be support available while we are a virtual community?
A: Yes! Mrs. Drew is available to have WebEx meetings with you and is available by email as well.
Q: How can I make a difference when the problem is a pandemic?
- Volunteer.
- Donate.
- Reach out.
- Wash your hands.
- Practice social distancing.
- Know your limits.
Q: Why is social distancing hard?
A: Humans are wired for connection with one another, social distancing to this magnitude is difficult for everyone. You are not alone in feeling isolated, sad, disappointed, angry, (insert any other emotion here). It cannot be emphasized enough: connect with your friends virtually and get fresh air. These actions will release chemicals in your brain which will combat any depressive symptoms you may be experiencing.
Q: I am a parent and want to support my student as they enter this new way of learning and socializing. How can I do this?
A: Our suggestion on ways to support your student would entail keeping structures in place that existed before the pandemic, i.e. sleep patterns, hygiene routines, consistency of family interactions. The goal is to model the same format your student has come to expect in their day, while embracing the new structure of virtual learning and socialization. By keeping the consistency of expectations and activities, your student will be provided a level of comfort and control that things are remaining relatively "normal."
Your student will look to you for how they should respond. Remaining calm, keeping a perspective that puts events into relativity (i.e. their senior year is not ruined, just different than expected), and communicating with your student will be helpful to their resilience development.
Watch your student for a change in behavior, mood, or thought process. While it is expected to have a reaction to what is happening in the world, a change in behavior, mood, or thought process that does not lift after two weeks may mean the emergence of a mental health concern. If you are concerned, you can always reach out to your student's primary care physician or Mrs. Drew for support.
Q: I find myself feeling an increase in depression and self-harm or suicidal ideation because of the pandemic, what can I do?
A: If you find yourself feeling depressed or having self-harm or suicidal thoughts, we strongly encourage you to talk to your parents so they can support you and reach out to professionals who are trained to intervene.
Health Office
Q: What are the symptoms of COVID-19?
A: For medical questions about COVID-19, including symptoms, treatment resources, and learning more about it, we encourage you to consult the CDC's website.
Athletics
Q: Will there be a spring sport season?
A: At present we are following CDC guidelines which do not allow for traditional group sports to take place. However, we are still committed to working with our spring student-athletes to ensure that they have the guidance and support needed to keep up with their training regimen. Students can anticipate regular check-ins with their coaches throughout the season.
Q: Will the spring season count for my second extracurricular credit?
A: Given the current situation, we are waiving the 2nd season requirement for students who are still in need of this credit. Please email Mr. Vitale directly with specific questions in regards to credit.
Communications
Q: I don't think I am receiving all of the emails sent by the School, what can I do?
A: The mass emails sent to all students/parents are categorized as spam. Some email providers are tougher on spam than others. Certain providers automatically deliver our emails to you spam or junk folder. The best way to ensure our emails end up in your inbox is to add this email address as a contact in your email provider: noreply@marianapolis.myenotice.com
Additionally, all emails sent to parents can also be found on the parent portal under "COVID-19 Resources & Information."
If you continue to experience issues with emails, please contact Rachel Rogers.
