Greetings Parents and Guardians of our Remote Learners,
Let me start by congratulating you for selecting our new innovative learning environment. We are excited about the opportunity to reconnect with our students! We are planning to provide rich and meaningful learning opportunities in a safe and effective way. Although we may face "growing pains", please know that we will do our absolute best on behalf of our students!
This year, we will be using the Google Classroom as our primary instructional platform and by now, teachers should have emailed each student an invitation to join their classes. Many of our students are familiar with this system because we used it last school year.
