Hello La Mesa Families,
Por favor, desplácese hacia abajo para seleccionar español.
These are certainly strange times for everyone. As we have transitioned to an online learning model, we continue to learn new ways to connect with students and families. Our teachers are working hard convert classroom learning into a valuable online learning experience.
We know how hard this transition has been on parents as well. We are grateful for your partnership in providing students with the best possible experience in this challenging time.
Please check out the information below. We also encourage you to check out our website at www.lamesajuniorhigh.org for regular updates. The Hart District website also has great information regarding distance learning. www.hartdistrict.org
Sincerely,
Michele Krantz

Fun Videos by Mrs. Krantz
