BPS School Closure March 17 - May 4th
BPS School Closure March 17 - May 4th
Dear King K-8 Families,
The Boston Public Schools will be closed starting Tuesday, March 17th - May 4th, 2020. In an effort to support our families, the King K-8 staff have created this website to centralize instructional assignments, food resources, COVID-19 resources and more. Over the next 6 weeks we will post information, and update this site regularly.
We fully recognize families are rearranging their households, setting up childcare, and so much more to navigate through these uncertain times. We encourage families to reach out with any questions and concerns. We are here for you! We are in this together! We CAN do this!
Families are also welcome to reach out to your child's individual teachers. Please see listed below teacher contact information.
Thank you,
Grace Coleman-Burns, Principal & King K-8 Administrative Team
