Coming off a wild spring and a restless summer we were tasked with reopening our school buildings to students while also providing online learning content for students learning at home. So not just preparing for one new and difficult scenario but two! However we are on our third week and still pushing forward. Learning and growing is happening and it is all because of you!

You have all become creators of quality online learning experiences and that is something to be celebrated!
