From the Principal
It has been 8 weeks since we closed our campus and began this new way of doing school. How is it going? To be honest it has not been easy, it has been downright hard. Not easy for you and not easy for us. We miss you all so very much! The online connection is helping and every time we see one of our students online it makes our school community stronger. Thank you for staying resilient and staying engaged. We are so excited to parade around our neighborhood this week on Thursday at 3:00. You can see the parade route on our Hope Highway map below. Be patient as you look for us as we will have about 30 cars with all your favorite staff members super excited to say hello to our students. We hope that you will be able to make signs and hold them up as we go by to tell your teachers how much you miss them. Remember to keep social distance and stay away from the cars as we go by, air hugs only! See you this Thursday!

Continuous Learning
Continuous Learning - that's what we are looking at for the remainder of the school year. . As a district, we are working hard to ensure that students are learning each day while, at the same time, not overwhelming families. The following is a recommendation on how many minutes your child should be engaged in learning activities per day:
- Kindergarten and 1st graders - 45 minutes per day
- 2nd and 3rd graders - 60 minutes per day
- 4th and 5th graders - 90 minutes per day
This time may consist of Canvas meetings, reviewing teaching videos, paper packets and independent work assignments.
