Freshwater Education District is deeply concerned about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children and families.

During this time, we are continuing to keep children and their families at the center of our work. We are diligently monitoring a range of national, state and local updates and changes to guidelines as they are affecting children and families. We are trying to ensure that kids’ needs are being met, while recognizing the critical role of government and their need to move quickly to address the constantly evolving nature of this pandemic.

As an organization, we are also focused on how children and families, particularly those most vulnerable, will be impacted as we emerge from this health crisis and the effects of the economic recession. We will continue to take a whole-child approach to assessing the path forward with perspectives on child care, preschool, K-12 education, family supports, physical health, mental well-being, and child welfare.

Let’s work together and do what we can to stay safe during this difficult time, so that we can emerge from this crisis with a renewed focus on what matters – ensuring our kids have the quality supports and services they need to grow up healthy and thrive.
