We are excited to celebrate with kids tomorrow. A few reminders for tomorrow’s celebration:
- Students CAN wear costumes to school (no masks or face paint)
- We will not host a parade but will send videos and pictures out!
- Celebrations will happen in classrooms at the end of the day
Again, thank you all for your grace and patience with all of these transitions and obstacles we have been met with. There aren’t enough words to express how heartbroken we are. We have loved every minute of the past few in-person days – seeing our kids laugh, play, socialize, and learn. We have loved seeing our in-person parents again as well. We know that the next few weeks will be difficult as another transition is faced by each family. Please know that we are here to support your learner, both at home and in the building. We will continue to fine-tune our systems to meet the needs of those struggling to engage online and support the children in front of us. To support students transitioning or at home, please share this video with your students. Have a great weekend.
