Good afternoon,

Earlier today, Governor Baker announced that public and private schools (not including residential special education schools) will stay closed through the end of the school year.  We agree with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education who wrote that, "this is a necessary step to keep everyone as healthy as possible."

While perhaps expected, news of this extension may still be difficult for our students and families, especially our seniors. I can assure you that Mr. Loprete and I are connecting on this topic daily and we will work with our class officers to provide memorable opportunities for our students while maintaining the safety guidelines and restrictions communicated by the Commonwealth.

I ask our parents and community to help to assure our students that the schools are very much attuned to the social emotional needs of our students and that we are aware of the many questions that remain. Please communicate to the children that we will be working to come up with solutions that will meet the needs of all of our students and that while we do not have answers to every question at this time we will have a solid plan in place in advance of upcoming dates and events.

As reiterated by the Governor, all students enrolled in our schools must continue with our Remote Learning Plan through the end of the year in June. Our plan is designed to be flexible for a wide variety of needs and any questions or concerns should be communicated to the child's teacher or principal. 

Given these circumstances, if you have a need for a Chromebook loaner for your child please complete/resubmit this form so that we can contact you to make arrangements.

Also, for those families with students who are interested in participating in our "grab and go" breakfast and lunch program, please complete this form.

In the coming weeks I will update you with new information solidifying our last day of school and any other calendar updates related to this closure. For now we are scheduled to continue our remote learning plan through June and we look forward to continuing this new learning path with our students.

Please stay safe and be well.

Dr. Daly
