Hello Staff,

As you know, our country and states response to COVID-19 continues to be an evolving scenario, a bit of a roller coaster of information.  We are all having to adapt to change extremely quickly. Thank you all for your hard work, resiliency, and dedication.  Thanks for being kind, respectful and supportive in your interactions with one another.

I and the leadership teams in both NVT and SVT will continue working hard to understand the information being shared by the Agency of Education regarding changes to the school building closure timeline for the 19-20 school year, and the expectations for independent schools and contracted service providers at this time. We are an intricate part of the Distance Learning Plans, and in some cases the sole ‘driver’ of those plans, making us still an essential part of the educational puzzle. I anticipate more information will be shared in the weeks to come and we will continue to share with you what that means for our services. At this time we still continue to operate as laid forth by directors in each region.

Please continue to reach out to your supervisor for any additional needed support.

Also, by Tuesday pm we should have details on the Paid Sick Time and Extended FMLA that was shared with you on 3.24.20  (link here) .

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THIS WEEKEND: The Sd server and cloud will be down this weekend for maintenance.

Please try to take care of yourself! Try to Find the Joy in this unexpected Roller-coaster Ride.
