Dear NPS Families: I am writing to follow up on my earlier email <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ojhlrMl4-sBFOR9VYl9c8gASxrjyB3Pxgt0T9DkRywM/edit?usp=sharing> from this morning. Needham Extended Day Program (NEDP) Director Genevieve Jolly and I will host a virtual family forum tomorrow, Wednesday, June 18th at 5:30 p.m. to share updated information about the arrest of an NEDP staff member, how the district is responding, and to respond to questions from parents and caregivers. While we will not be getting into specifics as the police investigation is outside our purview and is ongoing, we do want to offer an opportunity for NPS parents to hear directly from us about this situation, including how we will continue to support our students. The virtual meeting will not be recorded. Here is the link to the virtual Parent/Caregiver meeting on Wednesday, June 18th at 5:30 p.m. <https://needham-k12-ma-us.zoom.us/j/86896710813> As always, please do not hesitate to reach out with questions or comments.
