A message from Sullivan School Superintendent, Ted Walk, to parents, community, and staff:
With the new development of confirmed COVID-19 cases in our region, Sullivan Schools will not have student attendance on Monday, March 16th. We understand the additional hardship this causes for our students, families, and community, and this was a difficult decision.
Teachers and staff will have an Institute Day. Packets for continuity of learning will be emailed to all students and parents and also be available for pickup from 10am-6pm on Tuesday for those who would prefer a paper copy. Packets for SES students (and 3rd/4th grade iPads) can be picked up in the SES cafeteria, and packets for SMS/SHS students can be picked up in the Commons. SMS/SHS students and parents will have access to lockers at this time as well.
SES students can pick up medication from 10am-6pm on Tuesday in the SES office, and SMS/SHS students can pick up medication during this time in the SMS office. After this time, no students or parents will have access to the building for the duration of the closure. No meal will be served on Monday, March 15th, but we are working on system for meal delivery to pick-up points around town for the other days of the closure to facilitate the process for students who may not be able to come to the school for meals. Specific meal details will be provided as they are finalized.
This is a very dynamic issue, and we apologize for the changes and alterations to previous plans. Please know that our students and community are our priority as we make these difficult decisions.
