Please do your best to get ready for approximately 2 hours of at-home learning tomorrow- this time does not have to be all at once. Parents I emphasize greatly the need for some routine and structure during this time. The following is the schedule that I plan to try to follow with my children at home and will adjust accordingly but having a plan and some type of routine is going to be critical to success. We will blog between 8am-9:00 daily the activities, videos, lessons, etc. Please reach out through the remind APP if you have any questions or concerns. I hope everyone is doing well. 

Great news!! More details to come… will keep you updated as we find out more information!

Parents Please Carefully READ this post with our kindergarten AT-HOME learning plan. There are many additions highlighted to what we sent home in folders. We will post a daily BLOG for daily activities, lessons, videos, and homework. We will be keeping in touch through the blog and remind APP!!!

We know this is a stressful time for everyone. We will all figure it out together! Please refer to our blog daily and the remind app for our daily activities. Thank you in advance for your support and understanding we are a “TEAM”!
