Week of April 27, 2020:
*This will be the first of two emails today. The first email will be our standard weekly message that you receive on a "normal" Sunday. The second email will address the Governor's Executive order and the State Boards grading guidance.
Week 3 of remote learning was another success! Teachers have been giving great feedback on what has been going on. They highlight the great support that they are receiving from parents! We know this continues to be a stressful time, and we continue to keep that in mind as teachers continue to practice Grace and Empathy.
Senior Celebration: We were able to reach out to Seniors this week by delivering a yard sign congratulating them for being a member of the class of 2020. We also gave them their graduation caps and gowns. It was great to see the smiles and to let them know they are missed. We are exploring plans for a Graduation Ceremony!
You have earned it and asked for it – so here it is! Next weekend is a celebration of families and a time for a much-needed break after four weeks of remote instruction.
May 1: Family Friday - this will be a day of no online work and the family has the day off from schoolwork (You disconnect and shut off)
May 4: Momma Monday (Dad too!) - this will be another day off for the family and will be the kick-off to Teacher Appreciation Week and is a great way to say thanks to families.
May 8: Flex Day - your teachers will decide the best use of this day (planning and/or make up day for student work) – your teachers will reach out with more information.
May 1 – May 4 will give you a much-needed long weekend. We discussed making it Mother's Day weekend but did not think many families could make it that long before needing a break! (May 8 will help)
