Winter Planning and Covid-19 Precautions

Winter weather is upon us, which can lead to library closings, hazardous driving conditions, and other unexpected delays. For those of you meeting in-person, please make a plan with your student about weather cancelations. This also means making sure that your student has your cell phone number or another way of easily contacting you.

The LVMC office may also close for inclement weather. If in doubt, please call ahead to make sure we are open.

The health and safety of our tutors and students is our number one priority.

With the new surge in Covid-19 cases, we recommend that you have a discussion with your student about in-person meetings. Be honest about your comfort level with regard to mask wearing, vaccination boosters, and quarantining after travel or exposure to someone who tests positive. And remind your student to please stay home if they have any cold symptoms.

Even if you are comfortable meeting in-person, libraries and other public spaces are still subject to closures, so use your in-person time to practice Zoom skills, exchange materials, and develop a just-in-case plan.
