Planning for Vaccines and Fall Classes
Hello Head Start Families, Where, oh, where did the time go? It is May 2021 which would normally be the end of our school year; however, I am happy to announce that we are extending our school year through June 10.
We want to ensure all transitioning children have additional classroom time. Your child will receive a very comprehensive transition packet, so that they can work on learning activities throughout the summer.
It is my hope that we will be able to return to full classes in September, but it is too soon to make those decisions. As cases decline and vaccines increase, we continue to inch closer to “normal.”
Have you made your plans to get vaccinated? Ohioans ages 16 and older are now eligible to receive the vaccine, so I would encourage all Head Start families to make your appointment to get vaccinated.
Head Start staff and Community Action Agencies across Ohio and around the country are working to promote vaccinations.
Please see page 4 for local resources for scheduling your vaccine.
As we work throughout the summer on plans for next school year, we will keep you informed. Please like us on Facebook and check our website at www.lccaa.net to see any announcements we make.
Head Start management staff - including myself - work throughout the summer. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need assistance or have questions concerning your child’s learning development over the summer.
We look forward to the warmer weather and getting outside this summer.
We thank you your for choosing Head Start during this strange year.
We hope you will continue to recommend us to any of your friends or family who need Head Start services. Have a wonderful summer!
Shauna Matelski, Ed.D. Head Start Director
