Please note the following guidelines:
Please do not come to class high (this includes, but is not limited to marijuana and/or alcohol). This is important on many levels, but quite simply:

• It makes technical communication difficult at best.
• Many of the tools and chemicals we use can be dangerous if not used properly.

COVID protocol:
Since there has been an uptick in cases, please make sure to keep a mask in your toolbox. At the very least you'll use it when you're polishing.

Also, if you have traveled recently, please consider getting tested and wearing a mask in class until you test negative for COVID.

Please wear your mask in class if you think you're experiencing allergies or have a cold, until absolutely sure that you don't have COVID. Thank you so much for your continued commitment to a safe and welcoming environment for all of us.
