School Closure Update
March 20, 2020
Dear Lisbon Families,
In an effort to provide you with the most updated information related to the impact of COVID-19 on our schools, I am writing to inform you thatthe Lisbon School Department will remain closed until, at least, Monday, April 27, 2020,with decisions on re-opening or potentially extending the closure being made at that time.
As you know, on Sunday, March 15, 2020, Governor Mills provided a recommendation that Maine schools cease classroom-based instruction for the duration of the State of Civil Emergency. The State of Civil Emergency is in effect for 30 days and may be reissued as many times as the situation warrants.
It is our goal to be a source of support during this stressful period. Beginning Monday, March 22, 2020, the Lisbon School Department will begin the implementation of our “Distance Learning Plan” in an effort to provide remote learning activities for students. Information related to our remote food program/schedule is also available.
As I have mentioned before, this notification is an effort to communicate this news to you as soon as possible so that you may continue planning for child care and other concerns that have occurred as a result of this extended closure.
If you or your family find yourself in need, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Please be safe and as always be assured that we care and are here for you.Thank you for your continued support of our students and our schools and always remember that “We are Lisbon”!
Richard A. Green, Ed.D.
