Dear Parents and Caregivers of School-Aged Children in the TBDHU Region:

I recognize that these are challenging times for everyone, and that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused much upheaval in our children’s lives. School disruptions and canceled activities have had an impact on the overall well-being of kids and their families. I know that we are all eager for everything to settle down and be closer to normal.
