Dear Parents,
Governor Pritzker has just informed school superintendents across Illinois that in reaction to the COVID-19, or coronavirus, spread in our state, he is issuing a mandated closure of all K-12 schools starting Tuesday, March 17th and lasting through Thursday, April 30th. As of right now, all Wood River-Hartford schools will be open for student attendance on Monday, March 16th, and will begin the mandated closure as of Thursday, April 30th.
Please develop plans now for your children and their childcare during this closure, and prepare for the possibility that this closure may be extended if this situation continues to evolve. During the mandated closure, all district events and activities will be cancelled as well. The district webpage, Facebook pages, email, and SchoolMessenger phone calls will be our primary sources for updating parents on this continuously evolving situation.
