& COVID-19 Response

Updated 08.04.23

Dear Friends,

In an effort to keep our students, instructors, volunteers, staff and community safe, The Clearing’s staff and Board of Directors are monitoring developments closely with respect to the recommendations of agencies like the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. While changes to The Clearing’s Winter Covid-19 Response may be made at a moments notice, you’ll likely see the following safety protocols in place when attending a 2024 Winter Program class:

We appreciate your respecting The Clearing's (and off-campus locations’) requests/requirements listed below for the health and safety of your instructor, fellow students, and staff by noting the following for all 2024 Winter Program classes. Thank you!

Enjoy your class!
