Jan Jamboree - Thank yous
We would like to thank the High School students and their faculty sponsors for organizing, planning, and leading a fun Jan Jamboree last weekend. I hope all of the students who were able to attend enjoyed the sessions.
From the Counselors
Dear Parents,
WOW! What a few weeks it has been! Our students continue to show us how flexible they can be, transitioning between in person and hybrid learning. As a reminder to prepare for Tuesday’s first day back at school, you might wish to:
Remind them to gather their backpacks, lunchbox, snacks, water bottles, masks and school supplies.
Gather their computer devices and chargers and headphones for school use.
Review their specials for the week such as art and music
Reassure them that during the first few days of school, there will be lots of opportunities to practice daily routines and that classroom expectations will be reviewed by their teachers.
Remind them that Ms. Linda and Ms. Michele will be at the Elementary School gate all week long and can ask for an appointment to talk or play with us.
If your child is remaining virtual, we will still be able to meet with your child on Zoom.
We cannot wait to see you on Tuesday! Ms. Linda and Ms. Michele
Have a healthy and relaxing weekend.
Regards,
Lynn Schneider and Dave Allen
Elementary School Leadership Team
