Uncommon Schools believes that vaccination is vital to keeping our community safe, delivering the in-person instruction that is best for our scholars, and protecting members of our community that are at high risk of contracting COVID-19. Accordingly, vaccination is a condition of employment for all employees- most commonly 1 shot of J&J or 2 shots of Pfizer/Moderna/Novavax. New hires must submit proof of vaccination by their first day of work.
