 Dear Parent/Guardian:

 Like you, we are just learning that Governor Gary R. Herbert, State Superintendent Syd Dickson, and the Utah State Board of Education “announced today that Utah’s K-12 public schools will extend their dismissal [soft closure] through Friday, May 1st.”  Their press release further stated that they will “continue to evaluate the situation to make a determination about the remaining school year” and that:

 Gov. Herbert expressed his appreciation to the educators throughout our state who have quickly adapted their instruction to remote learning platforms. 

The Utah County Health Department issued this statement.

Dear Parents:

In this ever-changing environment, Nebo School District is working hard to meet the needs of the children in our communities. Nebo School District’s Child Nutrition Department has received a fee waiver from the State Board of Education through the USDA. Therefore:

FREE NUTRITION PROGRAM for AGES 0 to 18

Beginning Thursday, March 19, 2020, from 9:00 - 11:30 a.m., we have been authorized to offer Free Grab-n-Go breakfasts and lunches at the following locations for all children ages 0 - 18, Monday through Friday until further notice. Children from any school may pick up meals at these locations, but the children must be present to pick up meals and both meals may be picked up at the same time.

We hope all is well and that students and parents are coping well with the new online learning model.  We wanted to share a few resources which might help you discuss and understand the current situation and even help your transition go more smoothly.  Stay healthy, happy and safe!

The following resources have been provided by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), on issues surrounding COVID-19:
