Monday, April 6th

Hey students!  We hope you had a nice Spring Break.  It will certainly be one you'll never forget, huh?  We hope everyone is healthy and being safe.  
So going forward with school, things will be different.  After you pick up your new packets, you'll see assigned work will no longer be review, it will be new instruction.  Your parents have all the detailed information so please go over things with them.  You can also email your teachers with any questions or clarifications.  
Your parents will receive daily emails with the following day's assigned work and the links to go with instruction.  We will also be doing live weekly Zoom meetings!  (Again, please ask your parents for details.) Tuesday will be with your reading teacher and Thursdays with your math teacher.
Email us if you have any questions at all. We miss you guys!
