  • The current Air Pollution Index (API) in the areas that we are going to visit remains in the healthy level. Based on the API index, any reading above 100 is considered unhealthy.
  • During the trip, should the API become unhealthy, outdoor activities will be cancelled or rescheduled, depending on what is logistically possible. Cancelled events will be replaced with indoor events where possible.
  • Participants who are asthmatic should ensure that they bring along their inhalers. In addition, all participants should pack at least one mask in his or her day pack. The school will be providing extra N95 masks where needed.
