Every student took home a form with the following letter. Please know that I am so grateful to work with your precious children and will support any decision you make that you feel is best for your family. Please contact me if you decide to keep your child home so that we can formulate a plan of support.
Take care and stay healthy!
Ms. Karen
Hello dear families!
March 12, 2020
Dear Parent and or Guardians,
Today Governor Herbert held a news conference about state guidelines regarding Covid-19. The following were recommendations:
*Groups should be restricted to under 100 (social or religious).
*Compromised health groups of 20 or less.
*Good hygiene practices should always be followed.
Followed by the State Superintendent of Schools that recommends the following for schools:
*Schools should be a case by case decision for closure after consulting with local health officials (Weber Morgan Health Department)
*School trips should be cancelled for a minimum of the next two weeks. To be evaluated later after the two weeks.
*Schools should emphasize and model good hygiene practices.
Maria Montessori Academy will continue to have school as scheduled. We respect the rights of parents to decide what is the best health practice for your family. We will work with you regarding your decision. We will be cancelling or rescheduling the following:
*All field experiences – ie Alliance Redwoods, Junior High Intersession, 9th grade field trip, Ritchey Science Fair, Regional History Fair.
*School events – ie MMA Gala, March 21, 2020 @ the Timbermine Restaurant.
If children are sick, please do not send them to school. If they come to school and express they do not feel well, they will be sent home immediately, without repercussion of absence.
If you are in a position to do so, we would gladly accept donations of additional hand sanitizer, tissues and disinfectant wipes.
Best regards.
Mike Geilmann
Director
Maria Montessori Academy
