Juergens' Journal

Hello VG Families,
I want to thank each and every family for your patience and support as we begin this school year. This is a HUGE adjustment for ALL of us! During the first weeks of school, much time is dedicated to establishing classroom routines. Some of these routines looked familiar to you on Thursday and Friday and some very different. Teaching children how to line up and move through the classroom and school was replaced with teaching children how to log onto virtual classrooms and websites, how to present work virtually to peers, etc. Routines take time to establish. Once in place, they allow the school day to run smoothly. Know that we are committed to being successful. Classes will be displaying timers during break and lunch time to assist students in managing their own break time.
Please be KIND, PATIENT & EMPATHETIC to staff and one another. We are all under a tremendous amount of pressure. Problems happen. When problems happen in the classroom, approaching teachers with compassion and grace helps sustain the very people our children need most right now. A simple thank you or words of encouragement help all of us persevere through a very intense, stressful time.
I hope you enjoyed our very HOT "Wave Thru" days! We loved seeing all of you! Going forward, students will be able to pick up materials every other Thursday from 2:00-5:00 pm. Please find a calendar of pick-up dates below.
Thank you to ALL the families who have already completed their Fall Registration. We can not make this year successful without you. Your donations are critical and every donation matters. As of today, we have over 500 families registered. If you have not yet completed registration, please find the link below.
* If you email me, please know my response time may be delayed. I am averaging 200 emails/day. I try my best to respond to all emails within 2 business days.
** It is very difficult for teachers to respond to emails during the school day. Please be patient as they respond to you. You should receive a response within 2 business days.
*** Please be mindful of posting photos on social media of your child's class while on a ZOOM/Google Meet as this is a privacy issue. Do not post please.
With Gratitude & Partnership,
:) Principal Juergens
