Dear Parents,
As I am sure you are aware, a strike is looming. Unless there is an agreement made with the district, many teachers will be striking beginning this Tuesday, April 14th. Please be sure your child has a device to use at home in order to stay connected to Schoology. Please also use this time to have your child read as much as possible (a new AR points goal has been assigned), as well as work on completing the diorama assignment.
Our field trip to Leonis Adobe is still scheduled for Wednesday, April 15th, in the hopes that the strike issue will be resolved. If a strike is occurring on that date, we will do our best to reschedule.
I apologize for all of the disruption to your child's learning. Thank you for your patience. We're hoping for a swift resolution.
Mrs. McLoud
