Greetings
GIve yourselves a pat on the back, you have made it through 6 weeks of eLearning. I know that this has been new and sometimes stressful. Your committment to your children and their learning has been incredible. I hope your family is continuing to be healthy, physically and mentally. 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
