The MCPK Insider 11-4-2020

Dear MCPK Families,

The next few days, while everyone is at home for the long weekend, will be an incredibly stressful and emotional time, whatever the outcome of this election. No matter your political affiliations, the uncertainty and discord of the weeks to come will put an enormous strain on each of us. Our "little pitchers" have big ears and empathetic hearts--they pick up on what the adults in their lives are feeling and saying.

Remember that the MCPK Community is here for you. We are here if you need help communicating about all of this with your children. We are here if 2020 is all just too much and you need support. Reach out to us and to each other.

No matter what happens, we are a community and we will make it through this with hope and optimism for the future.

Be safe and well,

Ms. Amy

Holiday Gatherings and Travel Advisory

Please use extra caution when attending gatherings or events. Governor Murphy has recommended that people refrain from traveling out of state for the upcoming holidays. Keep in mind that if your family travels to a state on the restricted travel list, your child will not be able to attend MCPK for 14 days. There are currently 43 states and US jurisdictions on the list. In regard to our neighboring states, here is the information provided: "Neighboring states Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Delaware meet the criteria for New Jersey's travel advisory. Due to the interconnected nature of the region and mode of transport between New Jersey and the three states, a 14-day quarantine is not reasonable in all instances. Non-essential travel to and from these states, however, is highly discouraged at this time. New York and Connecticut are also discouraging non-essential travel to and from New Jersey, but are not mandating that travelers quarantine due to the interconnected nature of the region and economy."
