Learn to work and think for life.
End of the Year - Remote Learning
Greetings Wolfpack Students and Families,
I grew up in a small very Norwegian community and a phrase that was often said in my dad’s family was, ‘mange tusen takk,’ which means ‘many thousand thanks’ in Norwegian and right now I don’t think any phrase can express how I feel towards our entire Wolfpack Family. During a time of great uncertainty and anxiety, I’ve heard so many stories of how we have all come together to support one another because we know that we are stronger together. Not everything went perfectly, there were mistakes, but they were met with patience and grace - and now as we reflect back on the past few weeks, I am so proud of the work that was done.
As summer truly approaches, I hope that you all get a chance for some much deserved time to relax and take a breath. We will continue working on plans for next year and both the district and I will share information as we can throughout the summer. As a parent myself, I know how important it is that we provide clear information so that you can plan accordingly - and for students, we will also be asking for your feedback on what worked and what you’re worried about going forward as well so that your voices are a part of the planning as well.
COMMUNITY FOOD RESOURCES FOR THE SUMMER - While the school district’s meal distribution won’t continue, there are still community partnerships offering food for students
