A statement was posted on the organization’s Facebook page on Wednesday afternoon.
It said, “While we have not been required by any agency to close, the health and safety of our staff and students are of utmost priority, and we make this closure decision as part of our predetermined protocol and out of an abundance of caution: full closure will allow all families and staff to monitor for symptoms and ensure we are all able to return safely on November 4th”.
