Hi parents and families,

I just want to remind you that all Google Doc assignments will be due today. Your student must click turn in when they are finished with the assignment so I am then able to grade and comment on their work. I know this is a brand new way of working on school assignments but I am so happy to see more and more of my student’s turning in work! Please double check with the weekly assignment schedule (posted on Monday) to make sure your child completed all of the work. As of now, report cards are still going to be coming out and the work your student does over this remote learning time is very important. Please contact me if you need any clarifications or assistance!

Wishing everyone the best!

Ms. Siciliano
