Nassau, Bahamas – 13th October,
2015 – All principals of schools in the Long Island District are requested to
meet with their teachers and support staff on Wednesday, 14th
October, 2015 at 9:00 am to discuss the way forward for the re-opening of
schools post Hurricane Joaquin.
Considering the communication challenges
and the displacement of residents, parents are asked to contact the principal
of their child’s school before Thursday, 15th October, 2015 for information
concerning the re-opening of schools. Once principals have met with their staff,
a specific date for schools re-opening will be issued to parent and the community.
Additionally, District Superintendent Mrs.
Lillian Culmer-Miller, a team of technical officers and counselors from the
Ministry of Education, Science and Technology will be on Long Island this week
to provide counseling for students and parents in wake of Hurricane Joaquin.
