Dear Parents,
We made it to the end of the last week of the semester offering a fully engaged on-campus learning experience for our students, and we are immensely grateful to our families for their trust and support.
Our multidisciplinary Covid-19 Taskforce met again to discuss our return to school after the new year as, due to the effect of social gatherings and travel during the holiday period, the infection rates are predicted to continue to rise until they hopefully level off in mid-January.
In addition, recognizing the need for rest, relaxation, and recharging for our devoted faculty at this time, we have decided the best course of action to start the next semester is delaying our return to school in January.
The task force will meet again over the holiday period and advise if there are any updates.
For now, we will be proceeding as follows:
Week of Jan 4-8th
- School will remain closed for an extended winter break.
- A makeup week will be added to the June 2021 calendar.
Week of Jan 11-15th
- Remote learning 3rd - 8th Grade (MLWS Connect)
- Back on Campus - Nursery, Kindergarten, 1st & 2nd Grade
Jan 18
- Federal Holiday - School closed
Jan 19
- All school back on campus, Nursery through 8th Grade
Here is the adjusted school calendar for your reference.
Wishing you all Happy and Restorative Holidays!
The Administration
On behalf of the MLWS Covid-19 Taskforce
