• Dear Lewis and Clark School Community

  June 25, 2021

  We hope that this letter finds your family safe and healthy! First, we want to thank you for your support as we
  facilitated remote and hybrid learning this school closure year. We could not have done this without you!
  We know many of you are eager to know what the start of next school year will look like and you are not
  alone. The Governor, Mayor and NYC Chancellor’s current plan places the return to physical school buildings in
  September. This is an ever-evolving situation. No one can say for certain right now what school will look like
  next year, but we promise to always prioritize the safety and well-being of our students and staff during the
  planning process.

  
  Thank you again for your invaluable support and partnership. As always, please feel free to contact us with any
  questions or concerns you may have. Please continue to check www.TheLewisandClarkSchool.org for updates.
  Also, please be sure that your child’s instructor has a working phone number and email address so that we can
  contact you over the summer break as well to share any updates.

  
  A final word to the Lewis and Clark School students: Thank you for all your hard work throughout the school
  year. I am so honored to be your principal; you make me proud to be an Lewis and Clark Eagle. You keep me
  laughing and young at heart. I am grateful for your joy, astute insights, and amazing talents. Best wishes to
  our graduates, whom I will miss greatly—please come back and visit. Everyone have a safe and happy summer
  break.

  
  Until next school year, here’s wishing you peace, kindness, laughter and learning.
  Respectfully,
  Dr. Kuvana Jones
