Covid-19 Updates and Information
Parker’s Roadmap to Return to Campus initiative began this summer with the goal to actively plan for a safe return to on-campus learning for students and faculty. Now, as all grade levels are permitted back on the Mission Hills and Linda Vista Campuses, the School has officially moved to the next phase of it’s “Roadmap” initiative–Parker’s Roadmap to Remain on Campus.
Maintaining safety, health, and wellness is paramount among the School’s priorities for the 2020-2021 school year. It will take a commitment from all members of the Parker community to continue following Parker’s Health & Safety F.I.R.S.T. guidelines in order to continue in-person learning and remain on campus.

Stay Safe...Wash Your Hands!
- We encourage all students, faculty, and staff to practice good hygiene, including:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds to help protect you from germs. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- If you are sick, stay home and keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing, then wash your hands.
- Practice other good health habits. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.
