Dear DCIU Family:

Today, Governor Wolf has informed us that all Early Childhood Education and K-12 schools and programs are closed through the end of the 2019-2020 year. I understand this raises many questions and is disappointing for so many of us.  However, we are all in this together, and the paramount focus is on protecting everyone’s health. All of our programs have begun to implement Continuity of Education plans. We are DCIU strong and will continue to expand and adapt to this extraordinary situation. 

On a personal note, I want to extend a heart-felt thank you to everyone for your exceptional efforts to implement plans to meet the needs of all our stakeholders, children, and families. I also want to thank our students and families who have all soldiered through the unknowns with us. We appreicate your patience as we begin to roll out plans. Through these challenging times, we are accomplishing extraordinary things!

Let’s continue to support one another.  Please take care of you and your families.

Again, thank you for all your support and effort during the closure!

 Sincerely,

Dr. Maria Edelberg
Executive Director
