Dear Parents,
While there is still no confirmed case of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Western New York, out of an abundance of caution the WNY Maritime Charter School is taking the proper precautions to help prevent the spread of the disease. First, all field trips outside of Western New York are canceled for the remainder of the school year. Second, beginning today, March 13, 2020, all school activities that feature gatherings of 500 or more people are canceled. We are currently evaluating additional dates and events on the calendar.
Our primary source of communication to students and parents will be through the school website and automated calls as needed. We will continue to regularly update our website and share information on our social media platforms when appropriate.
