COVID-19 Policy
How we’re staying safe
826DC is committed to fostering a safe environment in which to create, learn, work, and grow. To make that happen, we’ve developed COVID-19 safety policies based on the current guidelines from the CDC, DC Public Schools, and the DC government.
As that guidance evolves, we will continue to update these policies and to add more safety measures as needed.
