    Dear Adult Ed Students, 

     
    As you know, the Boston Public Schools and all schools across the state of Massachusetts are closed through May 4, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, we would like you to know that the teachers and staff at the Department of Adult Education are here to help you. We have created a website (click the link) where you will find information related to your classes and additional supports that you may need during this time. By now, all of you should have heard from each of your teachers. Please check the website frequently as we will be posting updates and new resources as we receive them.
