FROM THE DIRECTOR'S DESK

ARK UPDATE - SCHOOL CLOSING

 ARK Parents,Students, Volunteers and Community Stakeholders, Governor Carney has informed everyone that Delaware schools are closed through the end of the school year. In response to this decision, the ARK Board of Directors will meet and make decisions to best serve our students and families. Meanwhile, I want to inform you that The ARK will also remain closed for the protection of everyone. However, the ARK is here to help you in any way that we can. Tutors will continue to stay in contact with students to offer academic tutoring and encouragement during this time. We are blessed to have such incredible volunteers who support the mission and vision of The ARK. Please contact me at  302) 382-9904 for questions or concerns you may have. We are, and will always be here to help.
