Good morning,
Today, the State Department of Health shared that the spread of the Coronavirus is not only imminent but is actively occurring across local communities. While no Tubman resident has been diagnosed with the Coronavirus, in an abundance of caution, Tubman is being proactive in its response to close school in order to prevent the potential spread of the virus. Effective immediately, Tubman will close the school Monday, March 16 through Friday, April 3. We will reopen on Monday, April 6 assuming conditions allow. Families will be notified via Class Dojo with any updates.
The closure includes all academic, athletic, and extracurricular activities. School facilities will not be used during this period of closure. Our campus will be thoroughly deep cleaned while school is closed.
Our dedicated and talented teachers have worked tirelessly over the past weeks to create enrichment experiences that all students will be able to access while schools are closed. Resources are available for all students at Tubman. You will receive separate communication with instructions on how to access these materials. These activities are not intended to replace classroom instruction. Our goal is to offer opportunities for students to access enrichment, practice skills, and have structure to the day.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this difficult time. Take care of yourself during this time and follow the health guidance and recommendations shared with you in previous communications. In particular, we ask parents and students to be mindful of the guidance to avoid activities involving large gatherings.
Thank you for your understanding and collaboration as we make decisions for the health and safety of our students and staff. Together, we will successfully navigate these turbulent and uncertain times.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
--
