With the novel coronavirus lurking, there has been a big effort to increase social distancing. Last night, the school sent an email saying that if we chose to keep our kid home from school that it would be allowed as an excused absence. We sent Janie to school and she said she was one of 6 kids in her class today. She said it was “the best day ever” and “SO FUN!” Alas, by the end of the day, the district announced that they would be starting Spring Break a week two weeks early effective immediately. So, she was sent home with a packet of work and a goodbye from her teacher.
It was also announced today on the news that all sports events and concerts would be canceled. Disneyland is also closing their gates for the first time in history. Boy oh boy…this is getting pretty serious. And it’s Friday the 13th!! What else is going to happen today?!
