Carelot Clubhouse News- August 2020
School Age Programs
What are my options for the school year?
We hope you are all holding up well as summer comes to an end. We know how difficult the school year options are for our families and we are doing our best to do what we can for our School-age children.
We have been at the mercy of decisions made by the State of CT, Superintendents, and Principals for our Clubhouse program for the 2020-2021 school year. After several meetings with the school systems, evaluation of safety procedures, and CT OEC licensing and CDC requirements, we have some options for our families. Please know that our hands are tied and many decisions were not necessarily our decisions, but what our school contracts have allowed at this time.
Each day we are given information that may change and all we can do is roll with those changes. We kindly ask for your patience and understanding as we work through this together.
