Dear Families,
So much has changed in such a short time. As you have probably heard by now, Governor Scott has dismissed schools for the remainder of the year. While we realize the importance, we are devastated. We want to be at school with our students enjoying all the learning and adventures that spring brings. We will be changing our approach to be able to provide new learning, not just skill maintenance, virtually. Administration is meeting today and we should have a plan for you soon.
Students should be about half way through the work that was sent home. If you need more things to do during academic time there are websites and suggestions on the schedule. Also, please feel free to use this time to do other home learning activities you don't always have time for, but are equally as important, like playing board games, cooking, and crafts.
We are here for you, please reach out!
