COVID-19: March 12 update; Message from Supt. Law
Anoka-Hennepin Schools is committed to timely, ongoing communication regarding decisions that impact school in response to the quickly developing nature of Coronavirus, or COVID-19.
Community members have been contacting the district with questions about school closures. Please understand that schools would close for health-related concerns based on the recommendation of the Minnesota Department of Health. If any recommendations occur, they are likely to be local in nature and not state- or country-wide. In fact, it could be school or community specific direction provided.
Anoka-Hennepin is closely monitoring this situation and is following expert guidance from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Minnesota Department of Health and county public health. This situation is developing and decisions may be made quickly. Anoka-Hennepin is committed to informing staff, students and the community immediately if and when any decision to cancel or postpone school or school events is made. Please consult ahschools.us/covid19 as a resource.
Learn more about COVID-19 and its status in Minnesota on the Minnesota Department of Health website or by calling the MDH information line at 651-201-3920 or submit questions by email at health@ahschools.us. Check out the frequently asked questions page as well.
Thanks for your ongoing support as we pull together to support our schools and communities.
David Law, superintendent
