Dear Westborough Families,
Happy New Year! Without a doubt I have never felt happier to close out a year. My family is excited to move forward into 2021 with hope for resolution of the pandemic and a return to normalcy in our lives.
Until we achieve that return to normalcy, it is essential that all of us remain committed to staying safe so that our schools can remain open.
I want to be exceptionally clear that the purpose of the two weeks of remote learning after the holiday vacation is to have families limit contact, to stay home, and to get tested if you traveled. Families who use the remote days to extend travel, or to socialize a lot outside of your family circle, will jeopardize a safe return to schooling for all children and faculty.
The School Committee wanted all faculty and family to enjoy the holiday season and to travel and see family and friends if you chose to. They then expected that you would need to return from that week and use the remote time to stay close to home and clear any illness before returning to school.
