Larkspur-Corte Madera School District School Closure Extension

Press release from the Larkspur-Corte Madera School District:

Dear LCMSD Community,

Please see the important update regarding our school closures and the attached press release.

LCMSD Extending Closure to May 1st

Bay Area health officials and county offices of education collaborate to extend school closures to May 1, 2020.

“Marin County has aligned with seven Bay Area county health officers, and county superintendents to make a unified, regional decision to extend school closures and student dismissals from regular school attendance through May 1, 2020 to slow the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) to the maximum extent. The safety and wellness of students, school personnel, and the community are the highest priorities of all schools and districts in these six counties.”

The best way for the public to further stop the spread of germs in our community is to practice the following steps:

Abide by the current shelter in place order, limiting activity to only essential needs. When completing essential activity, keep your distance from others, especially anyone showing symptoms of a cold;

Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially before eating, after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing;

Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer when soap and water is not available;

Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue or crook of your elbow (not your hands). If you use a tissue, throw it away and wash your hands afterward;

Avoid touching your face;

Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe;

Distance Learning - Live/Recorded Classroom Sessions

District-wide we have been sharing promising practices, one of which is live/recorded classroom meetings. Additionally, we’ve heard from parents how successful these sessions have been in building community, maintaining connections, and supporting learning. This week all teachers will try one session via Zoom, Google Hangout, or another platform.
