As the COVID-19 cases continue to surge in Allegheny County, we have seen a slight rise in cases within our buildings. We still have not met the thresholds set forth to us from PDE, in any of our buildings, that would require us to close our doors. However, we recognize the anxiety and frustration that families are experiencing. We would like to share the following plans with you.
