IMPORTANT UPDATE
June 6th, 2021
Dear MDP Community,
As we are fast approaching the end of an incredibly challenging school year, I'd like to thank you for all your hard work to keep each other and all of our students safe this year. I also wanted to acknowledge that recently there’s been a great deal of conflicting information about vaccinations and announcements regarding mask requirements in schools.
As we are just two weeks away from the end of the school year, I believe that it's best for us to continue to operate under our existing health and safety procedures until further notice. That means we will continue our health checks, social distancing and mask use protocols at least through the end of the year, if not through the summer.
Again, thank you for all your hard work and dedication to each other and to our kids. Please feel free to contact me at 516-502-2840 if you have any questions.
