Friendly Reminder:
We understand that at times, families may choose to take extended holidays during the school term. While we are so grateful for EGHE students to have these amazing experiences, we want to address requests for student work during such absences.
Please note that when a child is out of school for an extended holiday, teachers are not expected to organize, send, or mark any schoolwork for the duration of the absence. Many classrooms have online platforms such as google classroom, IXL, je lis, Epic, Seesaw, and more. If you are concerned about your child falling behind feel free to interact with these platforms, encourage your child to read, talk about the math you see in the world, maybe write a journal, and mostly enjoy time together as a family.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
