Dear Families and Friends,
Just in the last 10 minutes, I’ve had to re-write the letter I had prepared for you earlier. Yes, it’s true, I hear that all K – 12 schools in the State are closed as of Monday, March 16, for three weeks. As I understand it, the state is requiring this for containment reasons. Unless the Governor says something to the contrary during her press conference tomorrow morning, Escuela will of course be closed as well.
I know this poses a huge inconvenience for those of you who also rely on school for childcare so that you can go to work. Unfortunately this is beyond anyone’s control; all we can do is pull together to do what we can to keep our community at large as healthy as possible.
I am meeting with all Escuela teachers tomorrow to make plans for supporting you and our students as best we can during this school closure. We will be sure to have someone on campus Monday for you to come pick up your children’s belongings. Please stay tuned to your email; I will update you with our plans, details and further news as it becomes available.
