Dear Parents and Guardians,
This afternoon the Delhi government announced the closure of all public and private primary schools (Prekindergarten through Grade 5) immediately, until March 31st. This is in response to the growing number of COVID-19 cases confirmed in Delhi. The official circular is linked here.
The AES administration is carefully considering how this information will impact us. We have decided to begin our Elementary School’s Holi break one day early. Elementary students will not come to school on Friday, March 6th. This will give us time to consult with medical officials, review CDC and other guidelines, and determine the best course of action for our community. Tomorrow, the Elementary faculty will prepare for continuous distance learning, if we remain closed.
Middle and High School students will attend school as scheduled on Friday, March 6th. MS & HS teachers will also use Friday to prepare students for continuous distance learning, if needed.
All school-sponsored and community activities and events are cancelled from March 6th through March 10th. Our bus service for MS & HS students will run as usual tomorrow, Friday, March 6th.
This is a dynamic situation. We will update all parents and staff on Friday as we make decisions. The health and safety of our community is our top priority.
We understand that you may have questions or concerns and we do not want to miss your communication. Please use this form to share any questions or comments.
Thank you and good night,
Jim Laney
