Superintendent Message - Schools Closed for Students Monday March 16 and Tuesday March 17
Message from the Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kishore Kuncham
re: School Closing Monday March 16th and Tuesday March 17th
Dear Parents/Guardians:
Since the outbreak of the Coronavirus COVID-19, these have been challenging times for all of us locally and globally. At this time, we do not have a case of COVID-19 in our District, but we understand the growing concerns of our community.
We have decided, in an abundance of precaution, to close the schools for students only on Monday, March 16th and Tuesday March 17th to continue preparations for our contingency plans for communication and E-Learning platforms and other related matters to ensure the continuity of education for our students in the event of an extended closing. During these two days, staff will further solidify our E-Learning platforms. We will continue enhanced building sanitizing protocols including the weekends.
We hope in the next few days the Governor and the New York State Education Department provide districts with further guidance and clarification on moving forward. At this time, all students will return to school on Wednesday, March 18th. In the event this changes, further information will be provided to you.
Again, we do not have a case of COVID-19 and are closing for preparedness purposes only. As always, the health and safety of our students, staff and community remain our top priority. Thank you for your continued understanding and cooperation.
