Message For Adult Learning Center Students
The Adult Learning Center is closed until Tuesday, May 5th. Our number one goal during this time is to make sure our students are safe and healthy. Listed below you will find various resources regarding food, unemployment insurance, and more. We encourage students to reach out to your teachers via email to connect and let them know you and your family are well. If you are at home, and would like to continue working on your reading, writing and speaking, there are resources available for you to access on the class pages.
