Lenox Elementary
Family Newsletter-SPECIAL EDITION: Extended Spring Break
In this special edition of our family newsletter you will find helpful information regarding our district's messages about COVID-19 and some resources and activities available to you to do from home with your children. Remember that all resources and activities are suggestions and not "have to's". The expectation and reason for this extended spring break is to provide social distancing to keep our community healthy.
The activities that I shared below are ideas you can do with your children that vary from academic tasks to physical activities, quiet time to just plain old fun. You choose! Disclaimer: I have not personally visited all of the sites and resources that are listed below. Use at your own discretion. I have gathered these resources from peers and colleagues in our district and across the nation through social media, emailing and word of mouth. I'm grateful to be a part of an educational community who shares and looks out for each other in these unprecedented times.
I certainly miss seeing all of our students, staff and families right now, but our main goal is to stay healthy. Thank you for continuing to take the recommendations, directives and protocols seriously to keep our Lenox community and our larger community healthy. Our building will be thoroughly disinfected top-down, section by section over the extended break.
If you have any questions, I encourage you to email me directly at mclaing@hsd.k12.or.us as our staff is out at this time as well and may not respond.
Be kind. Be compassionate. Be strong. Be calm. Be safe.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Gina McLain
