不被焦慮沖昏了頭，一大波招生官們誠意滿滿地為你護航！

庚子新年伊始，一場疫情突如其來、來勢洶洶，令人始料不及。在疫情面前，每個人都很難置身事外。各家美國中學也都非常關注此次疫情的發展，一大波招生官們都滿載著心意，竭盡全力保障中國學生申請事宜的順利進行。快來看看招生官們發來的最新消息吧！

已在校正常求學學生 - 社區很安全，學生健康有保障

美國大部分中學都已根據CDC和世界衛生組織的建議采取了一系列預防措施，以確保在校學生的健康與安全。學校的醫護人員齊全，可以監控學生的健康狀況，并確保學生身體不適時可以立即得到妥善的照顧。采取預防措施是必要的，但各學校并不希望營造一種讓學生感到壓力很大的氛圍。

來自The Woodstock Academy的Amy咨詢師第一時間和本站美國中學部更新了在校學生的最新信息：學校的衛生辦公室位于校園內，配備有專職護士和外聘醫生，學生的健康狀況有保障，且在校學生們雖心系國內情況但情緒都很積極呢。在線咨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.”

來自Wasatch Academy的Jason咨詢師也介紹了學校為維護學生健康安全所采取的一系列落地的措施:

“在充分咨xúnCDC專家和猶他衛生當局之后，聯系當地醫院將剛從中國返回學校的一位有發熱癥狀的學生送到鹽湖城大醫院進行低壓艙隔離，并由醫院將檢測樣本送往CDC進行檢測（五天后檢查結果顯示陰性）。對于與該同學有直接或間接接觸的同學，學校根據專家的建議對這些同學進行了物理隔離；對于還在中國的學生以及已經進入美國但尚未返回學校的學生，學校要求他們暫時不要返校。相關任課咨詢師和指導咨詢師制定了相應的計劃，確保這些學生的學業不會受到影響。我們對相關宿舍樓和教學樓進行了全面消毒處理；在各宿舍樓和教學樓放置了口罩、消毒紙巾等供學生取用；取消了每周三的全校大會；校長向所有家長發出公開信，通報相關情況，請家長放心。”

來自Grier School的Jennifer咨詢師也表明了學校關于此次疫情的態度，特別強調要關心、愛護受影響的同學，不要對來自中國的學生有不滿情緒，我們的共同敵人是新冠狀病毒。在線咨xún

“Greetings from Grier School, where our students’ education carries onas usual, though our hearts are filled with concern and best wishes for ourfriends and family affected by the coronavirus. The Grier community recognizesthat illness does not discriminate with regards to race, nationality, gender,or belief. This medical emergency is frightening for everyone, but especiallyour young people who are looking to trusted adults for reassurance and safetyprecautions that will keep them healthy and well.

春假安排 - 學校紛紛建議學生春假期間不回國

美高春假一般為2月底至3月初，為期十天左右。眼下，各學校一方面繼續提醒學生和教職員工注意衛生和防護，建議學生不要回國；另一方面就中國學生春假無法回國這一實際情況做出相應的安排。校內分管學生的員工與中國學生逐個落實他們的春假計劃，以確保每一個中國學生都得到妥善安置和可替代的春假計劃。

來自The King’s Academy（TKA）的Brain咨詢師強烈建議學生在期末之前都不要回國。如果有學生回中國，返回美國后，TKA將要求該學生在美國的一家旅館進行為期兩周的自我隔離，然后再返回學校和宿舍。在此期間，他們將獲得來自學校的的遠程支持。所有離開美國的學生，其父母都要簽署許可表格，以確認了解其中存在的風險。

“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.”

來自St. Timothy’s School學校的Stori咨詢師介紹道：少數學生將無法執行其最初的春假旅行計劃，但學校根據學生的個人需求和父母的意愿為學生安排了替代方案，包括與同學及其家人一起在美國國內旅行，或安排住在美國同學家中。美國國內學生一直很慷慨地提供款待，而且學校所在社區的態度是積極且樂于協助的。在線咨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.”
