Dear Parents,
Thank you for contributing to another positive day of learning at WTA. We are appreciative of the feedback you provide us and we will continue to think about ways to improve the way we guide our students' learning. Your positive feedback fills us with the energy necessary to find the best ways to conduct a virtual school.
A short while ago we learned of more students and parents in our school who have tested positive for the CoronaVirus. I want to wish all of our students and their parents, and all who are ill in our community רפואה שלמה and בריאות. As per the local and state health officials with whom we spoke late this afternoon, the directives to our school have not changed. All students and staff remain in quarantine and the school remains closed through March 16th. We are due to open school the next day, on March 17th. In the meantime, we are all instructed to follow the guidelines previously shared regarding maintaining social distance and vigilant hygiene practices.
We are working with the local and state health authorities to help us sort our school's specific needs. They have made a hotline available to WTA families. The number is:
1-833- 626-7662
Through this hotline families can request to be tested. Tests are given to people who came in direct contact with a person who tested positive and or are developing symptoms consistent with the virus (fever, cough, trouble breathing). Please rest assured that I will share any new information with you as soon as I obtain it myself. Please be in touch with me if a member of your household tested positive. This information will help us make proper decisions for our school community.
I want to end this letter by wishing you birkat פורים שמח.
Please make an effort to dress up with your children, celebrate the holiday and join us tomorrow for tefillah and megillah reading.
פורים שמח
Deganit Ronen
Principal
