HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS
Masks are currently optional at DCT. There will be hand sanitizer at the door, so students can sanitize when they arrive and leave class. If your child is sick or has Covid-19, please keep them home. Please contact DCT if you’d like to find out how you can make up for missed classes. For the safety of all DCT students and families, please notify DCT if your child or anyone in your family tests positive for Covid-19. Our health and safety protocols may change throughout the school year. We will update these protocols when needed. Please email or call if you have any questions or concerns.
