The members of the Lesley University community are teachers, therapists, students, parents, employees  - all in some part affected by the school closures.

This guide is not created with any official state guidelines in mind, however, it was created to have a place for resources that might be helpful to have gathered in one place, and organized by subject.

Please refer to the university's policy concerning Covid-19 here.
