A letter to families from the Superintendent as shared on Facebook. I took this news as a bit of a blow but no more so than parents, teachers, coaches, athletes and especially seniors. For additional information from Gov. Baker’s conference today: https://www.wcvb.com/article/baker-closes-schools-for-rest-of-academic-year-as-coronavirus-cases-surge-in-massachusetts/32222862
Dear Parents/Guardians,
I am writing to inform you that Governor Baker has just announced that school closure will be extended through the school year. This comes after extensive deliberation on the matter at the state level.
For our part, the district teachers and administrators will continue to hone their instructional delivery, materials and resources to provide remote learning as best they can. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education will be providing updated guidelines regarding the remote delivery of education this week, specifically, highlighting best practices. Our district will take these recommendations under advisement.
Now that we know that the rest of the school year will be done remotely, let us all be resolute in working together to provide our students with the best education and support possible.
Best wishes,
Richard Safier, Superintendent
