The public schools are closed on Election Day, November 6, and on

School Closing

Dear Famlies, As you are aware, school will be closed again tomorrow, Friday November 2, 2012 and will reopen on Monday, November 5, 2012. Also, please know that school will NOT be closed on Tuesday, November 6. Previously, the staff was due to attend a conference that day, and will we not be going. This will be a regular day of school with after school. I will be examining the calendar and announcing other changes to make up some of the days we have lost. I am aware that some of you have wondered why we are closed when the Astoria community has already rebounded from that storm. Please know that I have been monitoring the situation and have made my decisions based on information from the mayor's office, the NYC Department of Education, and information provided by the Lutheran Schools Association, in consultation with our teaching and support staffs, and Pastor James. There are many factors to consider beyond whether the building has heat and power or not. Some of these other issues include pupil transportation and adequate teaching coverage to name just some of the other factors. I am so glad to hear that so many of you came through the storm safely. That is great! I would like to thank you for your paitience during a very difficult time for us all. Finally, I would like to thank those of you who sent me emails expressing your concern for me and my family. I am happy to report that although I live on the South Shore, my house is far enough away from the water and escaped the devastation experienced by so many of my neighbors on the south end of town. Thank you again, and I'll see you on Monday. Sincerely, Mary E. Leake Director Astoria Lutheran School 31-20-21st Avenue Astoria, NY 11105 718-721-4313

School Closing - November 1 and November 2

Dear Parent, Guardian and Friend:

Let me begin by saying that I sincerely hope you were not severely affected by this horrific disaster as so many in Manhattan, Long Island, New Jersey, Staten Island and all of the surrounding areas and states were. Our prayers go out to the families who lost loved ones, homes and everything that was dear to them.

As per Pastor Klockau, I am informing you that Astoria Lutheran School will be closed on Thursday, November 1st and Friday, November 2nd. Classes will resume on Monday, November 5th. I know this may be an inconvenience to some of you but I know you understand the need for us to do this. Safety first.

Blessings.
Be well and be safe.

School closing - Hurricane Sandy

Dear Families,

Due to the coming storm and based on the information that I have been receiving from city and state agencies, please be advised that Astoria Lutheran Preschool and Grade School will be closed on Monday, October 29 and Tuesday October 30.

As of this writing, we plan to re-open on Wednesday, October 31 for a full day of school.

May we all stay safe as we ride out the storm.

Mary Leake
