It’s hard to believe that May is already approaching. Thank you for your continued support of your child’s education through online learning. As we continue this process, your feedback is appreciated as students and teachers alike are learning this new way of learning. I think of you often and am praying for your families through this challenging time. Though there is much uncertainty in our world, I would challenge you to search for joy each day and cling to that joy.
Please see below for an outline for this week. Remember that the main focus needs to be on Language Arts and Math. If your family situation doesn’t always allow for the other subjects to be complete – try to ensure you child is at least completing those two subjects.
Thanks again for your partnership! Have a great week!
Mrs. Bryeton
