We appreciate you
Families-- we are so grateful for your support and efforts during our Distance Learning time! It is time to return the device and hotspot (if you checked one out) to your school.
Each school has set up times and procedures that are being shared with you through phone/text/email messages. Please make sure you are aware of this information and call your child's school if you need clarification. It is very important that these materials are returned to school so we can prepare them for next year.
Thank you for all your efforts to be part of the team supporting your child's education. The last few months have brought rewards and challenges we couldn't have anticipated and your involvement has made all the difference!
