Dear Bobcat Family,

Due to the number of active COVID-19 cases affecting our staff and
students and in an effort to mitigate the potential for significant spread
among our Bobcat Family, we will be closing all campuses of Gary ISD for
the remainder of this week. This closure will provide for the safety of our
students and staff; as well as to make certain that we have appropriate staff
available for the campus. We are currently working with the custodial and
maintenance team to ensure that all equipment and buildings are cleaned
and sanitized before the return of students on Monday, January 17.

Your students will continue to learn remotely with online and paper
enrichment activities that will be sent home today. All activities need to be
completed and returned to your child’s teachers on Monday. If at any point,
you need assistance helping your child complete the work, you may call the
campus or email your teachers who will be available to help you through
the regular school hours.

The district will be closed Tuesday, January 11, through Friday, January 14,
and we expect to reopen Monday, January 17. Please stay informed as this
situation may evolve and change with the potential for additional cases of
COVID-19.

We ask that you use this time to quarantine and screen your children at
home. If your child should test positive for COVID-19, please contact the
campus or email your principal for attendance purposes.

Gary ISD’s priority remains the safety and well-being of our students and
staff. Our thoughts and prayers are with our Bobcat students and staff as
we all hope for a speedy recovery.

Sincerely,
Todd Greer
Superintendent
