As we continue to closely monitor the rapidly evolving developments in response to COVID-19, and following the guidance from local and state health officials, Allendale is prepared to navigate these challenging circumstances with everyone’s safety in mind.
As always, the priority at the Allendale Association remains the safety and well-being of our clients and staff. We will be practicing social distancing, frequent sanitizing, and requiring the use of face coverings or protective partitions while indoors to further prevent the spread of COVID-19. View our Guide to School Reopening Plan below. If you have any further questions about the school program, please contact your teacher. Messages can also be left at the school office by calling 847-245-6400.
The Bradley Counseling Center in Lake Villa is open for in-person appointments, where we have implemented several safety precautions which adhere closely to local, state and federal public health guidelines regarding social distancing, frequent sanitizing, and the use of face coverings or protective partitions while indoors to further prevent the spread of COVID-19. Our therapists will continue to offer therapy services via phone or video sessions as well. Please call 847-356-6300 with any questions or would like more information about the measures we have put in place to better safeguard your health.
While these times are filled with uncertainty, what is NOT uncertain is the strength of Allendale-of which you are an important part. Together, we represent the belief in community that has sustained us for 125 years. In the coming weeks we will all be challenged and will be called upon to help and support one another and the youth and families entrusted to our care.
Given the fluidity of this situation, please continue to check back here for regular updates and information!
