Glacier Ridge Elementary School 03.30.20
Dear Glacier Ridge Families and Polar Bears,
Welcome back from Spring Break and our mandatory days off. We hope that this communication finds you all healthy and happy. Hopefully you have found the engagement activities that your child's teacher sent out useful and engaging. Tomorrow we start a new adventure together as we all shift into Remote Learning. We want to assure you that our teachers have been working hard to make this transition happen and are ready to begin teaching again - be it remotely.
Beginning tomorrow and each day after, at approximately 8:30 am, you will receive an email from your child's teacher. This email will contain the information for the daily expectations for learning. The information will also be sent out via the platform that your child’s teacher typically communicates (be it Google Classroom or Seesaw). We want to assure you that we will continue to follow our curriculum as close to where we left off as possible. If you have more than one child with us please know that each of our teachers may have different methods of communication and instruction so you may see their unique approach reflected in their daily activities.
Please see additional information below for more specific details.
We are polar bears and we can do this!
All the best,
Mr. Jacobsen and Mrs. Adams
