Hello, Bates Families –

Students have received an important update regarding the situation on campus. Please encourage them to read this information carefully so they understand the seriousness of the current spike in COVID-19 cases as well as the status of in-room restrictions.

We know this is a stressful time for your students. We know you, too, are concerned for their physical and mental well-being, and we hope these resources will help you support them:

• The Bates in-room restriction FAQ  is updated regularly and shares information on student support, after-hours health needs, and more. 
• Bates CAT is offering an expanded daily schedule of activities to help students stay connected during in-room restriction.
• You can browse the overview of daily campus offerings and remind your student to sign up using their edition of Bates Today.

We will keep you updated promptly with further information as we move through this time together.

Best regards,
The Bates Parent Team
