Dear Kumon students and families,

With the daunting rise in numbers of the coronavirus cases hitting closer to home than ever before, including the recent news of faculty members at a nearby school, Waxpool Elementary, contracting the virus, we have decided to temporarily close our center for the month of April. This in hopes to preserve the safety of our Kumon students and families above everything else. We hope and pray that all of our students and their families are healthy and are taking all precautionary measures so that they are kept out of harm's way of this pandemic outbreak. And we thank the many parents for their overwhelming support in these difficult times and the outpouring concerns about my and my families' health and well being.

Effective April 1st, 2020, our Kumon center and all center operations (which includes pick up/drop off of Kumon worksheets) will be placed on HOLD for one month in order to do our part in minimizing or preventing further spread of this pandemic outbreak of covid-19 virus. April tuition will not be charged.

We will be providing updates on a regular basis including our future plans of reopening. Should you feel the need to reach out to me for any reason, I will be readily available via email or center phone 703.995.9950. Please let your children know that not a day goes by without keeping them in my thoughts and I cannot wait to see them soon. I love all my students as if they were all my own children and these difficult decisions were made solely to keep them protected.

Sincerely,
Min
