Descanso Elementary School Update
Family Edition August 12
Hello Redhawk Families,
I hope you are well. We know how difficult this is for everyone. Our teachers and aides are working really hard and learning new tech skills to make the transition to Distance Learning. We know it will not be perfect. We are all learning together. We are anticipating bumps along the way but just know that we are all here for your kids and we will do our best to get through this challenging time. We have to keep the mindset that this is not permanent. We will get through this with new skills and perspectives and we will continue to look forward to the day when we can have your kids back in our classrooms.
Distance Learning
Students will be working on simple, getting to know you activities the first week. Teachers will host a virtual Back to School Night on August 24th from 5:00-6:00. You will receive a link from the teacher by Aug. 24. We will start the on line schedule on August 25th.
