Dear ARPS Families:
According to Monica Bharel, Commissioner of the MA Department of Health, we are at “a critical point in the outbreak in Massachusetts of COVID-19.” In order to allow for adequate social distancing to help protect vulnerable populations, Governor Baker has made the decision to close all schools in Massachusetts for a minimum of seven weeks beginning Monday, March 16. This means schools will be closed with a tentative return date of Monday, May 4. That date will be reassessed throughout the seven-week closure period based on the evolving COVID-19 situation across the state.
We know that there are a tremendous number of questions that will arise from this decision. We will follow-up with continued updates on this site.
Best,
Michael Morris, Superintendent
Estimadas familias de ARPS:
Según Monica Bharel, Comisionada del Departamento de Salud de MA, estamos en "un punto crítico en el brote en Massachusetts de COVID-19". Para permitir un distanciamiento social adecuado para ayudar a proteger a las poblaciones vulnerables, el Gobernador Baker tomó la decisión de cerrar todas las escuelas de Massachusetts por un mínimo de siete semanas a partir del lunes, 16 de marzo. Esto significa que las escuelas cerrarán con una fecha tentativa de regreso del lunes, 4 de mayo. Esa fecha se volverá a evaluar a lo largo del período de cierre de siete semanas basado en la evolución de la situación COVID-19 en todo el estado.
Sabemos que hay una gran cantidad de preguntas que surgirán de esta decisión. Seguiremos con continuas actualizaciones en este sitio.
Cordialmente,
Michael Morris, Superintendente
