Good Evening, Reading Public School Community,

Earlier this evening, Governor Baker ordered that all public schools will be closed, effective through Tuesday, April 7th.  Therefore, based on the information we have available at this time, the Reading Public Schools will be closed until Tuesday, April 7th.

A few updates for families:

1. We are in the process of developing a Frequently Asked Questions document and will send that out once it is completed.
2. If students need to pick up essential medications that they left at school, they are to contact our Director of Nurses Mary Giuliana at Mary.Giuliana@reading.k12.ma.us and she will schedule a time on Monday for medication pickup at that school.  This will be the last opportunity for students to access the buildings until reopening because we will be doing extensive cleaning of each building.
3. If your child has left an essential item at the school (i.e. computer, books or musical instrument), please contact the school on Monday and you may pick it up from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon on Monday.  Please note that we are only allowing one member of each family to come in to pick up your child’s possessions.  This will be the last opportunity for students to access the buildings until reopening because we will be doing extensive cleaning of each building.
4. As mentioned in a previous email.  We want to make you aware that we will be offering grab and go meals for those Reading Public School Students who qualify for free and reduced lunch.  The meals will be available at the Reading Memorial High School Cafeteria from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, beginning on Monday, March 16th.
