OnSite Lessons, Classes, and Ensembles

OnSite lessons, classes, and ensembles are available on a weekly basis in each of our three locations: EASTHAMPTON, FLORENCE, and HADLEY.

Health and Safety Measures

OnSite Lessons are OPTIONAL. Students are welcome to opt for OnLine lessons at any time. All OnSite lessons are available to be converted to OnLine lessons as needed.

Student and Parent Responsibilities

Stay home if you are not well. You should stay home if you are not feeling well, especially if they are displaying symptoms consistent with COVID-19 or any other disease, such as the flu, or if you have an elevated temperature. If you are not well enough to come in for lessons, please call or text 413-341-1689 and we will arrange for your lesson to be OnLine.

Stay home if you or anyone you’ve been in close contact with has tested positive for COVID-19 or the flu. Please notify the The Prindle School as soon as possible at info@theprindleschool.com if you yourself have tested positive or you have been in close contact with anyone who has tested positive. Please do not come to in-person lessons if you or any member of your household has been told to stay home from school or work by a healthcare professional. If you are not well enough to come in for lessons, please call or text 413-341-1689 and we will arrange for your lesson to be OnLine.

You have the option to wear a mask while inside The Prindle School and the buildings in which the school operates. Masking is OPTIONAL for all students and teachers.

Our Efforts to Maintain Safety for All

All spaces are regularly cleaned. Each location of The Prindle School is cleaned thoroughly once per week. This is in addition to the regular sanitization of all high-touch surfaces.

In the event of a positive COVID-19 or flu test by any faculty member or student, we will complete the following protocols:

  • We will notify any individuals who have had a close contact with the person who has tested positive.

  • If a faculty member tests positive, their lessons will be immediately changed to OnLine (if they are well enough to teach), or cancelled and rescheduled if they are not well enough to teach.

  • Faculty and students who test positive should not return to in-person lessons for at least 10 days. Or, they may return to in-person lessons after 5 days if they are asymptomatic and have tested negative. During days 6-10, masking is required.
