COVID UPDATE -WE ARE OPEN
A Letter from our Executive Director
Dear Parents,
As this new strain of Covid goes through our communities, we would like to remind parents that we are all connected. If you are feeling sick and drop your children off it could affect other children, our staff, and extended family members if “feeling sick” becomes a positive Covid case. Some of our staff and kids are immunocompromised, along with extended family members of our staff and kids. We are asking that parents take extra precautions if any family member is feeling unwell or has possibly been exposed to a positive case. Please do not drop your child off if you are feeling the slightest bit unwell. The staff are doing everything they can to keep our Clubs open but we will not be able to if they get infected.
As of today, I have eight staff out who are either Covid positive or have been exposed to someone who is Covid positive. If this number continues to go up, we will have to shut down some or all of our Clubhouses and afterschool programs. I am aware of three cases of parents dropping off children who were exposed to Covid positive adults or whose parents were showing symptoms. This hurts us all. I can’t be any clearer than that. As schools open and if you have the ability to keep your child at home from the Club for the first week, please consider doing so. It would help us to keep attendance numbers lower than normal. Together we can get through the coming surge of cases that is expected to rise through January - if we work together and look out for one another.
My staff and I will do our best to keep our kids safe and active, please do your part as well. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me or your child’s Unit Director.
Sincerely,
Trent Yaconelli
