Hi Everyone,
We miss you!
I just wanted to check in to let you know that I am thinking of you and hoping that you are all safe. These are unsettling times, and we are sure that some of you are feeling overwhelmed. We have been at school this week and we promise you, it isn't the same without you all here. It’s very quiet!
It is the first day of Spring Break, please enjoy the time with your families. Get outside for some fresh air, eat well, and have a good nights sleep! Read a good book! Learn a new board game!

Information Items:
K-6 Parent Supports from the CBE website:
Scholastic is currently offering a ship to home option if anyone would like to order books.
Check our blogs regularly after the break. As we find out information, we will communicate it to you here.
In the meantime, I have compiled a bunch of different resources that you can use to help your child with learning at home!
