Thank you so much for your patience with adjusting to remote learning this week! We know you are juggling many new worries and responsibilities these days, and we know it hasn’t been easy for you. Our hearts go out to you, your children, your families, and everyone affected by COVID-19. We are grateful for all our dedicated staff in the Millis Public Schools!

Let me begin by thanking you for your patience and support during these unusual times. While our schools are empty, we are continuing to work to identify opportunities and strategies to minimize the significant impact on learning that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our students and families.

As you have probably heard, Governor Baker announced this evening that schools throughout the state will be closed through April 7. Superintendents will have a conference call tomorrow to clarify some things that are still unclear. We all have many questions about how this will play out and there are a lot of moving parts at this time. This is uncharted territory and we appreciate that it may cause anxiety and that you all have many questions! We will do our best to get answers as quickly as possible.

We have made the decision to close all of the Millis Public Schools for the period March 16- 20, 2020. Schools will remain closed through Friday, March 20, 2020. It is important for families to understand that this is an initial determination, and as we monitor the outbreak next week, it is likely that this may lead to a longer closure. This closure applies to all schools, extra-curricular activities, athletics, clubs, and building use. Our custodial staff will be cleaning and disinfecting all schools.

I am reaching out today to discuss COVID-19 and what we are doing in Millis to prevent and prepare.
