Rise and Shine~November 28 - December 3, 2021
Greetings families
I hope everyone enjoyed our Thanksgiving break with family and friends. The week prior to our break, we started our optional in-person learning. It was lovely to see so many students join us for the day. I thank all that participated and look forward to our next opportunity this month. As a reminder, it is optional to attend in person. If students do not attend in-person learning, they still need to complete online assignments and check-in with their teacher for attendance to count.
4-5th Classroom Update:
We have a change in our 4th/5th-grade classroom. Mrs. Corona will be returning as an in-person guest teacher. We will have Mr. Acierto as our guest teacher until we are able to hire a teacher for this position.
My next update will be the week of December 13, 2021.
Happy learning,
Mrs. Syverson
