The holiday season is fast approaching and many of our Dedham community members may be considering travel plans to visit friends and family. Now that Dedham Schools have students attending school in-person, it is critical that our families continue to follow safe practices when it comes to COVID-19, so that we can continue to keep students in our classrooms through the winter. Our schools are working very hard to enforce rigorous COVID-19 precautions every day, and we urge all parents and families to join us in this effort.
