School Closure Update Good Afternoon, After consulting with the Montgomery County Health Department this afternoon, the decision has reluctantly been made to extend our school’s closure until Tuesday, April 21. We will continue to monitor the situation concerning the COVID-19 virus and keep in close touch with the County’s health department as we determine how best to proceed in the future. We will continue to offer carryout meals to anyone in our district 18 years old or younger from 11am to 12:30pm, Tuesday through Friday. Thank you all for your understanding and I hope you all manage to stay safe and healthy and please remember: Wash your hands often. Stay home as much as possible. Stay at least 6 feet away from other people (social distancing). Cover your nose and/or mouth with a tissue or your sleeve if you cough or sneeze. Call your doctor’s office if you develop any of the COVID-19 symptoms.
