COVID-19 Update

Northwest Academy is committed to protecting community health and in-person learning. Northwest Academy mirrors the Portland Public Schools protocol allowing students who had tested positive for COVID-19 to return to school after 5 days if they are symptom-free, but we will supplement that with the expectation that returning students will wear a mask until day 10.
