THE LITERACY CENTER: ATTLEBORO

WE ARE CHALLENGED – WE ARE HERE

Dear TLC Community

I hope this message finds you and your loved ones safe and healthy. These are unbelievably challenging times. Please know that my heart goes out to you.

 

Based on the current information that we have, we have made the decision to remain closed through May 4th, following guidance from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.

 

This may change based on developments to the public health situation and I encourage you to check our website for the most up-to-date information.

Online classes and virtual learning was successfully started last week, and many classes have already met using online tools.

 

We will continue to work closely with our teachers and tutors to ensure we are reaching out to all of our students.

 

There are many students who do not have access to smartphones or computers at home. We have plans in place to reach these students and to help them continue their learning while the building is closed.

 

We appreciate all your support during this stressful time, and we look forward to keeping you updated as things change.

We acknowledge that many of our students and volunteers are experiencing changes to their daily lives, including but not limited to loss of childcare, loss of employment, and financial hardship.

 

Please know that we are committed to supporting our students throughout this crisis. We are available by phone and email if you want to talk or need to locate community resources. Our website also now has an 

Emergency Resources page 

with a great deal of information on it for our students and community.

In addition, I can be reached at (508) 399-1026 via text or call if you need anything.

Please be well,

Amanda Blount

Executive Director
