Coronavirus (COVID-19) Related School Closure Notification
Friday, March 6, 2020 at 8:42PM Dear Families,
Based on CDC guidance for our state, the Florida Department of Education is recommending that all schools extend their spring breaks. In Alachua County, that means schools will be closed as of Monday, March 16 and will remain closed at least through March 27. We are sorry for the sudden closure notice but is a necessary measure as local, state, and federal authorities attempt to slow the spread of COVID-19.
We will be taking next week as an opportunity to finalize our virtual education plans in the event school remains closed beyond March 27. Prepare now for the possibility of school remaining closed past this date.
Updated guidance from the Florida Department of Health has extended the required 14 day exclusion from schools to any students or school employees who have traveled to any country, not just the CDC Level 3 or 2 advisory countries listed in yesterday’s communication.
We wish you all the best under these difficult circumstances. During the entire break we will continue to keep you updated on any developments via email and Facebook.
Yours in service,
Visvambhara Dasa
Head of School
