Although our summer classes are filled, we expect to increase the size of classes slightly as the year progresses - and hope to reach more or less “normal” capacity by early next year.</span><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>For those of you who are waiting for a class date, we strongly encourage you to take advantage of this time and work on getting as much walking in as you possibly can. As many of you know, it is important that your overall fitness and stamina be at its best before meeting the physical challenges that come with training with your new dog. For those of you who have not yet worked with a dog, please also bear in mind that it would be to your advantage to use this time to develop and strengthen your independent travel skills.</span><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>Lastly, for those of you who are planning to replace within the next year or so, we suggest you go ahead and get your applications in. That way we'll know what your tentative schedule is and can plan accordingly. We ask for your patience and assure all of you that we will do the best we can to minimize your waiting time as much as we possibly can.</span><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>As of our last update in March, most students coming into class needed to quarantine in Morristown for two weeks prior to their arrival on campus. Now, incoming students who are vaccinated do not need to quarantine (we do ask for proof of vaccination via a copy or photo of your vaccination card). Those who are not vaccinated still need to quarantine at The Best Western Hotel, here in Morristown, for two weeks immediately preceding your class date, but we highly encourage vaccination. As before, The Seeing Eye will cover the cost of your two-week stay in exchange for a $50.00 contribution from you. The Best Western provides breakfast to its guests and we will deliver lunch and dinner from Monday through Friday, with the exception of the second Friday when there is no food service on campus. The Seeing Eye will continue to provide your transportation costs whether you quarantine in the hotel or not.</span><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>While in class, in keeping with CDC and New Jersey guidance, you will no longer be required to wear a mask outside, but as per New Jersey rules for residential schools we must continue to wear a mask while indoors and practice social distancing. We have now had nine classes since we reopened last August and are proud that we have not had any instance of COVID infection in class. We will continue to remain on the cautious side as we move forward. Despite the temporary restrictions and limitations, the students that we have served have truly enjoyed the benefits of the smaller class sizes.</span><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>As we know, protocols will evolve constantly as we travel together on this roller-coaster, and we will send another update as soon as the next changes develop.
