Food for Children
While school is closed, all Truro children ages 3-18 are eligible to receive food free of charge from Truro Central School. A supply of breakfast and lunch food for an entire week is available for pick up (or delivery if necessary) at TCS each Tuesday from 10am-12pm. If you have not already done so please call 508-487-1558 x 203 by 12pm the Friday before to reserve. When you call, leave family name, number of children, allergies or dietary restrictions and address for delivery if needed. Deliveries are only available in Truro. Please indicate in your message if you would like to be placed on the permanent list thus eliminating the need to call in weekly.
Please pull up to the side door of the cafeteria and remain in your vehicle. Bags of food will be placed in your trunk. Once you have received your bags, please promptly exit the parking lot allowing for a quick, safe and efficient food distribution process.
If your child needs a device, please email rosenkampffk@truromass.org or harnede@truromass.org
Pick up for devices will be Tuesdays between 10:00 - 12:00. We are asking you to please pull up to the curb, stay in your car and open the trunk. A staff member will bring the device out and place it in your trunk.
***Due to the extended school closure all Spring after school activities and Truro Community Ed. classes have been canceled. Refunds will be processed next week. Please contact Heather Harper - harperh@truromass.org with any questions.

Letter from Commissioner Riley
March 20, 2020
Dear TCS Families,
These are unprecedented times. I hope you are practicing social distancing with your loved ones and members of your community as we navigate this international pandemic.
Our teachers and staff have been working remotely this week to provide TCS students with educational enrichment activities that will be available during the school closure. We are offering enrichment activities for children. We are not providing new instruction.
We will roll out the enrichment activities on Monday, March 23 after 8:00 a.m.
Your child’s classroom teacher will contact you on Monday morning. We are using the Truro Central School Website, classroom pages, and Google Classroom to communicate the enrichment activities to our families. Communication will be by email or protocols that are already in place with Ms. Raymond and
Mr. L-P.
If you need an electronic devise contact the main office. We will make arrangements for you to get the device.
Keep your eyes on your emails and the school website for any new information or updates.
Please be safe to support staying healthy.
Sincerely,
Mr. Beaudet

Truro Central's plan has been to stay open until the Cape saw the first case of COVID-19, using every precious moment to help our staff, students, parents, and community transition to what may be a prolonged closure of our school. A confirmed case of COVID-19 on the Cape today now finds Truro and the Lower Cape closing schools effective Monday, March 16.
We will use next week to plan how best to support our children while the school is closed. Looking at how school closures have played out in the state of Washington and overseas, where this outbreak surfaced prior to making its way to the Cape, it is probably not realistic to think that closing for just two weeks will provide the time necessary to see an end of COVID-19 in our region. Staff, students, and families should prepare for schools being closed until perhaps the end of April Vacation (April 27). I hope we will be in a position to reopen our schools earlier than that, if there is clear evidence that social isolation has contained community spread of COVID-19.
For now, please take this closure and the need to socially isolate seriously and prepare for the long haul. Soon, we will be sharing a plan on our transition to "school at home" and how we will be supporting our students, families, and staff during this unprecedented time. This is is no substitute for the magic that happens every day in our classrooms, but we are going to do our best to maintain learning, connection, and social-emotional supports under challenging circumstances. Our students and staff will truly be learning to do something new together. It won’t be perfect, but we will make the best of a bad situation.
Even before this extended school closure, we know that many of our students were expressing anxiety and fears about this COVID-19. Please emphasize to your children that they are at low risk and that our schools are closing to limit the spread to all, including older family members and those with underlying medical conditions in the community.
Please keep an eye out for the updates we will be sending out. We'll stay in touch.
