Dear Parents,
I hope this weekly update finds you and your loved ones well. I know this pandemic and the resulting school closures are testing our resilience and strength, and I appreciate your partnership and collaboration as we continue learning remotely. Our goal is to find the sweet spot, the balance between moving forward in the curriculum so that students are ready for the next school, while being flexible and understanding that many families are facing extraordinary challenges.
This week we will continue to offer a blend of live virtual class sessions and assignments. Faculty are available to meet with students to answer questions, explain concepts and guide them through organizing, completing and submitting their work. Our counselors are holding virtual sessions, as well. Students just need to request a meeting through their school email. The Parent Portal is regularly updated to help you stay up to date. And we continue to offer live technology support (see below).
When students do not participate, we will reach out to parents to check in. If there are extenuating circumstances and your child cannot participate in school activities, please contact a teacher, counselor or administrator to let us know. We are here to help as best we can.
The new marking period, and new related arts classes, began shortly after school closed. Please remind your child that they have assignments for art, technology, health or home and careers classes. These are often weekly assignments.
If your child is healthy and family circumstances allow him/her to participate in school:
As always, please feel free to contact me, Mrs. Gladstone or any of our counselors or teachers if we can be of help. I wish you strength and good health.
Regards, Susan Howard
