As we all look forward to the Winter Break, we know that, for some, the break may include travel for family and social gatherings. These gatherings pose transmission risks for students, families, and staff.
Because of that risk, City Schools will be making some adjustments to in-person student learning and meal sites.
In-person student learning:
• All students will participate in virtual learning from Monday, December 21 through Wednesday, December 23.
• All students will participate in virtual learning from Monday, January 4 through Friday, January 8.
• In-person learning sites will reopen on Monday, January 11.
Meal sites:
• Meal sites will remain open from Monday, December 21 through Wednesday, December 23.
• Meal sites will be closed from Monday, January 4 through Friday, January 8.
• Meal sites will reopen on Monday, January 11.
The district office will remain open during these dates. However, the Multilingual Enrollment and Support Center and Enrollment, Choice, and Transfer offices will only be supporting families virtually.
These steps are safe, responsible, and prudent given the circumstances regarding COVID-19 and gatherings that may occur on or before Winter Break. Caution is required, and this brief pause in in-person learning reflects the recommendations of health officials.
We know the holidays are typically a time to gather with family and friends, but we encourage you to follow the recommendations of public health experts. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Maryland State Department of Health have provided guidelines for celebrating the holidays safely.

Please be safe and take care.
