Dear Carus families,

Hello and welcome to the 2020-21 school year, which is sure to be unlike any other that we've experienced before. We've got plenty of challenges ahead of us as we navigate online learning together and try to find ways to reconnect in the midst of a pandemic, but there will be plenty of opportunities too — opportunities to learn new skills, to think creatively, and to build an even stronger school community. There will also be daily opportunities to show one another kindness, empathy, and grace. Families and staff alike are trying their best to adapt to a constantly evolving and unprecedented situation with the shared goal of providing kids with the best education possible. It's worth keeping this in mind as we work together to respond to the inevitable bumps in the road that we're setting out on together.

Thanks for your trust and partnership,

Sam Thompson
