Air Quality Good – Normal Operations
Friday, October 9 Update
Air quality today is very good. All classes will operate normally.
Thursday, October 8 Update
Air quality at the facility has been worsening through the day and is just a bit above the AQI that we are comfortable running outdoor classes. All classes will be indoors this afternoon, and outdoor only classes will be moved to Zoom.
Sunday, October 4 Update
Air quality is good. All classes will be operated normally.
Saturday, October 3 Update
Air quality today is moderate. It is acceptable enough for our normal class activities. If air quality worsens we will move our outdoor classes indoors.
Thursday, October 1 Update
Air quality today is poor. All indoor classes will operate as normal as our facility is equipped with HEPA filtration in the HVAC systems. Outdoor only classes will move to Zoom. Indoor/outdoor classes will be operated entirely indoors.
Friday, September 18 Update
We are relieved that the air quality in our area has remained good. We will continue to monitor and update here if anything changes.
Wednesday, September 16 Update
Air quality in the county has improved remarkably. We hope this holds up. We will be operating both indoors and outdoors over the next several days as we continue to work with the county’s plan for safe reopening of businesses. We had a great time in the facility Tuesday, and look forward to continuing to provide opportunities to our students. Thank you all for all of your understanding during all that we have been through this year.
Tuesday, September 15 Update
This is the most exciting update we have had in quite some time. While air quality continues to be poor, it is official that we are allowed to operate indoors starting September 15! We are allowed to operate at 10% capacity which allows us to implement the plans that we put together in the early days of the shelter in place. We will be communicating early Tuesday to specific classes and groups what is happening with their classes.
If air quality improves sufficiently we will operate some classes outdoors to allow for more capacity, and to keep students as distanced as feasible. Thank you all so much for walking through all of this with us. This is a huge step forward.
Monday, September 14 Update
Air quality today has remained pretty static. It is still not in a range where outdoor athletic activity is advisable. Afternoon classes will be on zoom again. See the schedule below. We will be continually updating this page.
Sunday, September 13 Update
Air quality has only improved marginally. Unfortunately this means we are unable to run our in-person classes. We will continue to run our program via zoom.
Saturday, September 12 Update
Unfortunately it is clear that air quality will not improve sufficiently by tomorrow for us to run classes. We are very sorry that we are not able to run our classes in person. Saturday classes will be cancelled. We hope you and your family are fairing well in the smoke, and that you have not been directly impacted by the fires. We need to continue to pull together as a community and do all we can to support each other.
Friday, September 11 Update
Due to the terrible air quality. Friday 6:15am, 7:15am, 9am, and 10am S&C classes will be cancelled.
Our indoor half-day camp will operate as it is indoors, and serviced by our HVAC system, which runs full facility air through HEPA filters.
All afternoon classes will also be cancelled. As with previous days we are moving to Zoom. Please follow the button below for the updated list.
Thursday, September 10 Update
Air quality this morning at the facility is poor. All afternoon classes are cancelled. Our live online classes will be posted on our Live Classes main page in the Members Area. Note that today’s classes will be loaded in the general tab. You do not need to drill down to your discipline for today’s classes.
Wednesday, September 9 Update
As we have monitored the situation down at the facility, we have had to make the decision to close our afternoon classes today. Unfortunately the amount of ash is significant, and though small particulates are still in an acceptable range, the estimates is that it will get worse throughout the day. We are preparing a Zoom schedule for all afternoon classes. These classes will be listed on our Live Classes main page in the Members Area.
