Welcome to our Distance Learning Parent Resource website. Presently, this is our new normal way of offering our families ways and means of receiving important information and community support. We hope this information is helpful to you during these difficult times. Our teachers and other professional organizations have spent a lot of time and energy putting together these resources. I am grateful to you, your children and the teachers for all of your continued support!

A Message from our Raising a Reader coordinator
Dearest RAR Partners,
I hope this email finds you all happy and healthy!
I wanted to give you time to adjust to your new style of teaching.
I would like to share what I am doing to help support the population that we all work with, especially the Spanish speaking families.
On our Parent Services Project’s Facebook page, :
· Every Monday, I share a STEM concept and activity using things that the families should be able to find in their homes. This is written and with pictures and in English and Spanish.
· *Every Tuesday and Thursday, Little Red Reading Hood conducts stories times expanding on the Science concept or other. Either way, it is conducted ONLY in Spanish-I figured that there are a lot of people doing English story times and there are more needed in Spanish.
· *Every Friday, our Play Group Coordinator, Cecilia Hudson, runs her play group from home, on video, in Spanish.
· Attached you will see that application that I have shared with you all in your RAR New School Year packets. It is FREE to all my sites, even after this crisis is over. Check it out. They just need to make sure to use the “Kidappolis School” and use “RAR” for the code. It is just another way to keep children learning at home.
· Our Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/Parent-Services-Project- 587726968050932/
also shares lots of resources that we have vetted ourselves to make certain that they work as they should or do what they say they do or we know how to navigate more efficiently. If for some reason, your families are having trouble with these resources, you may try our agency. WE are inundated as is everyone else, but happy to try to help:
