Health & Wellness Guidelines
At George School, ensuring the health and safety of our community is our highest priority.
As recommended by the CDC, George School follows guidance from local authorities, including the Bucks County Director of Health, in establishing best practices for managing contagious illnesses on campus.
Students who feel ill while on campus should report to the Student Health and Wellness Center (SHWC) for evaluation. Any student with a contagious illness (i.e.: COVID-19, flu, cold) should not attend classes or practices in keeping with school protocol until they are fever-free without fever-reducing medication for 24 hours and feel well enough to return to class.
If you have any questions about George School health and wellness protocols, please contact SHWC Director Joellen Gillon.
