This action is meant to slow the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in our state and protect the health and well-being of the broader community.\u00a0 We recognize the significant impact that closing our schools will have on the students, staff, and families in our community.

Additionally, we will continue to provide certain support services to students and families during the closure, including access to nutrition services as needed.\u00a0 We are working on identifying ways to provide meals to students during the break and will likely identify specific school sites to serve as hubs where meals may be distributed and picked-up. Additionally, Champions (a community partner that provides daycare at District facilities) is able to serve both existing and new customers. Details on access to these services will be emailed to families this afternoon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap\">We know that teachers, students and families have a lot of questions about continuing education if future closures occur.\u00a0 Our district has created a task force, that is working diligently to develop remote learning options for our students in the event that the closure is extended by the Governor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap\">As we have seen in the last 48 hours, the reality of COVID-19 continues to evolve quickly, with guidance from state and local agencies subject to change at any time.
