COVID-19 Information

Communication With Families

School Closures

The Leaguers Inc. is committed to the health and safety of our entire school community and we are continually closely monitoring updates from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) regarding the recent outbreak of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). In the best interest of the health and safety of our students, staff, and immunocompromised community we have decided to close all Leaguers Inc. locations starting Monday, March 16, 2020 until Friday, March 27, 2020. The Leaguers Inc. understands that school closures can be disruptive and costly to families. We want to do our part to ensure we are protecting the public and mitigating community spread of infectious disease. The closure will allow us to deep clean and sanitize our school.

Remote Learning Resources

The Leaguers Inc. remains committed to providing continued support to our children and families. To ensure continuous instruction during school closure, Home School Connection packets were created to provide families with a variety of learning experiences in the home. Packets are individualized by three age groups (Infants/Toddlers, Pre-K3, and Pre-K) and are generated from activities located on the Teaching Strategies GOLD On-line Assessment. Included in each packet are activities for child’s development and learning in the following areas:

  • Language Development
  • Literacy Development
  • Mathematics Development
  • Social-Emotional Development

Each packet can be downloaded by clicking on one of the below attachments. In addition hard copies will be made available at selected site locations from 10:00 am to 12:30 on the following dates:

  • Wednesday, March 18, 2020
  • Friday, March 20, 2020
