So, this week marks a bit of a transition to a new format of learning for our students. The superintendent sent out information with updated guidelines that can be found on his blog. Click here for Dr. Maleyko’s blog. As a result, I will be checking in with students and families to ensure that students are completing work and making progress on assignments. I have also noted in the Essential Remote Learning Plan the times that I will be available to answer email questions/concerns from parents/guardians.
You are all doing an AMAZING job! I want to congratulate all of my students and parents for the support and effort over these past few weeks. It has been stressful and yet, there have been moments of fun. I will continue to work with you all to make sure that your child’s last quarter of third grade is the best that it can be. Thank you for the work you are doing to make this historical moment a time of learning and of coming together.
