Greetings
I sure hope your family is healthy, physically and mentally. We know that this is a very trying time for all. Please know that you are all valued and appreciated. In discussion with the staff, the number one issue we are having is missing everyone at school, especially the students. We are committed to make the best of this situation and do our best teaching eLearning lessons which will help our students grow and learn. Parents, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's teachers if he/she is experiencing difficulty with assignments. There are so many stressful factors right now, the school work should not be one of them. Your families health and sense of well-being is the most important thing right now.
With great respect,
Mrs. Misecko
