不被焦虑冲昏了头，一大波招生官们诚意满满地为你护航！

庚子新年伊始，一场疫情突如其来、来势汹汹，令人始料不及。在疫情面前，每个人都很难置身事外。各家美国中学也都非常关注此次疫情的发展，一大波招生官们都满载着心意，竭尽全力保障中国学生申请事宜的顺利进行。快来看看招生官们发来的最新消息吧！

已在校正常求学学生 - 社区很安全，学生健康有保障

美国大部分中学都已根据CDC和世界卫生组织的建议采取了一系列预防措施，以确保在校学生的健康与安全。学校的医护人员齐全，可以监控学生的健康状况，并确保学生身体不适时可以立即得到妥善的照顾。采取预防措施是必要的，但各学校并不希望营造一种让学生感到压力很大的氛围。

来自The Woodstock Academy的Amy咨询师第一时间和本站美国中学部更新了在校学生的最新信息：学校的卫生办公室位于校园内，配备有专职护士和外聘医生，学生的健康状况有保障，且在校学生们虽心系国内情况但情绪都很积极呢。在线咨xún

“We currently have 110students from around the world living and studying on our campus. This isnearly 10% of our total population of 1150. Like many schools we have beentaking precautions towards health and safety based on recommendations from theCDC and the World Health Organization. Our health office which is on-campus andfully staffed with full-time nurses and a visiting doctor monitors ourstudents’ health and makes sure they are well taken care of if they do becomesick. We have had no students with Corona virus symptoms, and we do not believethat any of them were exposed if they were traveling recently. With very fewdiagnosed cases in the United States, we believe we are at very low risk forhaving a member of our community becoming ill with the virus. What is moreconcerning to us is how are students here are doing while their families are athome unable to travel or, in some cases, go to work. We have been checking inwith our students and they seem to have a positive attitude and they have allreported that their families are safe and well.”

来自Wasatch Academy的Jason咨询师也介绍了学校为维护学生健康安全所采取的一系列落地的措施:

“在充分咨xúnCDC专家和犹他卫生当局之后，联系当地医院将刚从中国返回学校的一位有发热症状的学生送到盐湖城大医院进行低压舱隔离，并由医院将检测样本送往CDC进行检测（五天后检查结果显示阴性）。对于与该同学有直接或间接接触的同学，学校根据专家的建议对这些同学进行了物理隔离；对于还在中国的学生以及已经进入美国但尚未返回学校的学生，学校要求他们暂时不要返校。相关任课咨询师和指导咨询师制定了相应的计划，确保这些学生的学业不会受到影响。我们对相关宿舍楼和教学楼进行了全面消毒处理；在各宿舍楼和教学楼放置了口罩、消毒纸巾等供学生取用；取消了每周三的全校大会；校长向所有家长发出公开信，通报相关情况，请家长放心。”

来自Grier School的Jennifer咨询师也表明了学校关于此次疫情的态度，特别强调要关心、爱护受影响的同学，不要对来自中国的学生有不满情绪，我们的共同敌人是新冠状病毒。在线咨xún

春假安排 - 学校纷纷建议学生春假期间不回国

美高春假一般为2月底至3月初，为期十天左右。眼下，各学校一方面继续提醒学生和教职员工注意卫生和防护，建议学生不要回国；另一方面就中国学生春假无法回国这一实际情况做出相应的安排。校内分管学生的员工与中国学生逐个落实他们的春假计划，以确保每一个中国学生都得到妥善安置和可替代的春假计划。

来自The King’s Academy（TKA）的Brain咨询师强烈建议学生在期末之前都不要回国。如果有学生回中国，返回美国后，TKA将要求该学生在美国的一家旅馆进行为期两周的自我隔离，然后再返回学校和宿舍。在此期间，他们将获得来自学校的的远程支持。所有离开美国的学生，其父母都要签署许可表格，以确认了解其中存在的风险。

“Students are strongly advised to refrain from traveling back to Chinauntil the end of the semester. If a student does, they risk complications dueto travel restrictions. If a student travels back to China, upon their return,TKA will require the student to self-quarantine in the US at a hotel for twoweeks before returning to school and their TKA residential care. If the studentis under 18 their parent will need to accompany them to the US and stay withthem. They will only have remote support from TKA during this time. Allstudents who leave the country will be required to have a permission formsigned by their parent stating that they understand the risks and theserequirements upon return.”

来自St. Timothy’s School学校的Stori咨询师介绍道：少数学生将无法执行其最初的春假旅行计划，但学校根据学生的个人需求和父母的意愿为学生安排了替代方案，包括与同学及其家人一起在美国国内旅行，或安排住在美国同学家中。美国国内学生一直很慷慨地提供款待，而且学校所在社区的态度是积极且乐于协助的。在线咨xún

“A handful of our students will be unable to carry out their originalspring break travel plans and Student Life has facilitated alternatearrangements based on the individual needs of each student and the desires oftheir parents. Options have included traveling domestically with classmates andtheir families, or being placed with one of our current American students attheir home. The domestic students have been very generous in extending theiroffers of hospitality to their classmates. The attitude of our community ispositive, supportive, and forward-thinking.”
