Good afternoon Today at the news conference the Governor indicated all zones in the Far Rockaway area are now in the yellow zone. Given the fluidity and fragility of those number, Lawrence Public Schools will remain on full remote. We will review the numbers daily and determine mid week next week if we reopen for hybrid in-person on November 2nd. Thank you Dr Pedersen
