First, thank you for your patience and support as we collectively navigate an evolving COVID-19 response plan. Governor Whitmer has directed the closure of all K-12 schools statewide through at least Tuesday, April 14, 2020 in order to slow the spread of COVID-19.

The health and well-being of our students, families and staff is of the utmost importance to all of us. With the identification of two presumptive positive cases of Coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19) in Michigan, along with the rapid increase in the number of cases nationwide, the level of concern continues to rise. Governor Whitmer has declared a State of Emergency in Michigan to maximize efforts to slow the spread of the virus, and has provided interim guidance from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services on community mitigation strategies that apply at the individual, organizational and community level, including schools, child care centers, workplaces, health care organizations, etc. These strategies are aimed at protecting individuals at risk of severe illness, as well as trying to prevent a sudden, sharp increase in the number of people infected with COVID-19 to minimize the disruptions to daily life and limit the demand on health care providers and facilities.
