As a result of the State of Emergency declared by the Counties of Essex and Franklin in consultation with public health officials, Northern Lights School will be closed for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year. We have made this decision in consultation with the Saranac Lake Central School District, other area childcare providers, the agencies to which we are accountable, and our faculty and board.
