Good Evening Parents, Guardians and Caregivers,
Good Evening Parents, Guardians and Caregivers,
We completed our FIRST WEEK back and our students did awesome! I am really impressed at how our students are navigating through Schoology and Zoom. I wanted to thank you all for your help working through the “first week” technical glitches as we all really start to find our groove for online instruction. Our teachers are working SO hard to master online teaching. A special thanks to all the parents for working alongside of us to ensure this new platform for teaching and learning is working well for our students.

As we continue to partner together, I am confident that it will just get better and better each week as everyone adjusts to the new routines!

During this first week, we did have some students to say, post, and do some inappropriate things in the live classroom. Thank you to the parents that either helped the teacher, or called me... it does take a village!
