Last week, Governor Healey announced new statewide guidance for schools, child care providers, higher education campuses, health care facilities, and places of worship regarding interactions with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Please refer to the guidance for entities providing education and child care services. As part of last week’s announcement, the Healey-Driscoll Administration has launched a new webpage, Protecting People From ICE, which includes the guidance document for education and child care providers in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

The new guidance is intended to help organizations protect access to essential services, understand their rights and responsibilities, and prepare staff to respond appropriately if federal immigration officers arrive on site. The guidance was required under the Executive Order that Governor Healey signed earlier this year.

The Staff and Student / Family Newsletter will go out at the end of each week. Staff on Thursdays and Student / Parent on Fridays. If you would like to add any information to either, please submit by close of business on Wednesdays using this LINK. Past newsletters are posted to the school website as well.
