[03/12/20]   Social Distancing due to the N-COVID Pandemic

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has advised everyone in the country to practice Social Distancing as much as possible, to slow the advance of the disease.

To do our little bit towards that, I am putting 10 - 14 days of work in everyone’s folder today, Thursday, 3/12/20 and again on Saturday 3/14/20. Please note that I will be open all of next week, regular days and hours for anyone that wants to come in or needs help, but I am strongly recommending that everyone pick up work as much as possible and not work in the center.

I will work with each family to figure out what works for them over the next couple of weeks. If we are told to shut down, we will have no option but to shut down. If that happens we will notify you.

You can communicate with me via text at (571) 210-0830. I will also be checking messages at the center (703) 729-1537. You can also email me at [email protected]

In the meantime we will try to function as best we can, while trying to minimize risk to our students and their families.
