Announcement:
I am being proactive by providing you with your child's Readers, Writers, Notebook, and math workbooks for chapters 10-12. I also put 4 Scholastic magazines inside their RWN. We know most definitely that we will not be returning to school before Easter, so I left the books for you to pick up in the narthax of the church on the pew on the left right as you walk into church. The church will be open from 6:00 am- 9:00 pm. The books are in neat rows and labeled with names. Please keep the math books in a safe place at home in case we don't need them for home instruction. We do need the children to bring back all books to school. I would pick these books up in the next day or so . We were asked to go to school today and get what we needed in case our access to the building becomes limited in the days ahead. Thank you for being so patient during this unsettling, stressful time!

Parents and Students,
Please let me know how you are all doing! I’ve been in touch with most of you and really enjoy seeing the children working diligently at home! The pics are priceless! We have to document attendance by communicating with you and making sure the children are working on their daily assignments. I’m also going to be asking you this week to take pictures of a few assignments, email them to me, and I will be grading them as tests. You may assist in reading things to the kids but let them do the work on their own as to monitor their progress. I need to know who is having difficulty with concepts. If there is anything that is causing confusion, email me and I will set up a time where we can face time or video chat! I do want to set up a zoom meeting so we can socialize and catch up. I really miss the kids!
