Safety is our priority. CDCF / Attollo Offices Closed
As the safety and well-being of Attollo Scholars and staff are priority for our organization, we’ve decided to align with recent statewide efforts, including school closings, to flatten the curve of COVID-19.Effective immediately, Tuesday, March 17, Attollo offices will temporarily close for the next two weeks. As we near the end of this brief closure, through March 27, we will re-evaluate state and nationwide recommendations and provide another update. In lieu of in-person meetings and activities, we’ll be adopting remote work alternatives for our staff, and providing digital programming to continue servicing our Scholars.We encourage you to watch this video for facts and preventive measures around novel coronavirus and to visit the Center for Disease Control and Prevention for important updates.
