Hello, TLC Families,
My name is Glennis Matthews, TLC Superintendent.
I want to follow up about our most recent COVID update, shared late yesterday. But before that, I want to apologize for the delay in this communication. We recognize how critical it is for our families to receive timely notifications. We also understand that the world we live in is changing quickly. Our priority is to ensure our protocols are followed properly, and thoroughly. We are all navigating this “new normal” the best we can. We appreciate all your patience and understanding and we commit to continue leading with grace.
As we shared last night in an email (https://conta.cc/3oC7Rqn), we have confirmed one person in The Learning Center for the Deaf Community tested positive for COVID-19. We are complying with all local health departments and CDC guidelines.
Out of an abundance of caution, we decided to close our ECC building today (October 7th) and tomorrow (October 8th) to allow for a deep clean sanitization of the building. We will re-open ECC on Tuesday, October 12th, after the Monday holiday.
We appreciate the support and diligence of our families in monitoring the health of each student every day. We encourage you to continue COVID-19 mitigation strategies, including staying home if feeling unwell, wearing a mask, limiting large gatherings, social distancing and handwashing. A list of symptoms for COVID-19 can be found on the CDC website.
We are centralizing all communication related to this issue. We ask that all questions, comments or concerns are directed to healthandsafety@tlcdeaf.org to ensure that we do not miss anyone.
Thank you again for your partnership and support; the safety and health of your children is our highest priority.
