Parents/Guardians/Students,

We are embarking on a journey in education that none of us were prepared for. While we have embraced the role of technology in our schools and our classrooms, we did not intend to have to rely almost entirely on technology in our pursuit to educate our students.

We understand that for parents, this poses a challenge that many of you also did not envision. Your role in your child's education, while always critical, has become even more involved, and we thank you for your partnership in the days ahead.

For students, your motivation to learn, which again has always been essential, is going to be even more important to your success as online learning requires much greater self-motivation than what is necessary in a classroom setting. I know that you are all up for the challenge.

We are going to do our best to make keeping track of assignments and the resources needed to complete them as easy as possible. In addition to this website, which we will use as an information hub, teachers will be creating weekly, grade-level newsletters that I will post on this homepage.

These are unprecedented times for everyone in every line of work, and as educators, we are working hard to ensure that our students are able to continue their educational journey.

Thank you,

Nathan Ogle, Principal
