Your Front Office should be open for business:\u00a0<\/strong>Currently, the Ed Center is receiving an over abundance of calls from families stating \u201cI tried calling the schools, but no one is answering their phones.\u201d The ask is that you work with your office staff to make sure that the phones are covered and messages are answered. We would like to help, but so many of the calls are school specific. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
