Dear Adams County Head Start and Biglerville Pre-K Counts Families, We understand that this is a very stressful and trying time as schools are closed and other businesses are shutting down each day. We want you to know that you are constantly in our thoughts, and we are working on ways to best stay in touch with all of you. The easiest ways for us to communicate at this point are through the School Messenger call system, email, our Facebook page: Adams County Head Start Pennsylvania, and through our website: www.achsaccess.org If you need to email, please use info@achsaccess.org. We will regularly check this email address and will be able to translate any messages that come in as well. You may also call 717-337-1337 and leave a message on the operator’s extension (0). We will have less access to this in the next two weeks, but will be checking it periodically. Attached, please find a list of Food Pantries and School District meal services during the school closures. Your Community Resource Guide, in the back of your Parent Handbook is also full of resource information. You may also dial 2-1-1 for help, information, and referrals in your community. If you signed up for Ready Rosie activities, we will continue to send out playlists of activities you can do at home with your child. YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, etc are all full of virtual story times, preschool lessons, and fun activities as well. Below is a list of websites to get you started: www.scholastic.com/learnathome https://www.lakeshorelearning.com/resources www.starfall.com www.pbskids.org We will continue to monitor this situation and let you know of any updates or program reopening as we can. In the meantime, stay home, wash your hands frequently, and enjoy this unexpected downtime with your family. Sincerely,
Jennifer Showers Executive Director jshowers@achsaccess.org
