Dear Robert Hunter families,
We are almost there- 10 days left! We are continuing to work through challenges as best that we can to support our kids all the way to the end! We know that masks are not ideal in hot weather. The policy of the district remains in place that children must wear masks unless they are outside and socially distanced. We continue to encourage time outdoors and are mindful of the need for breaks.
Please help your child to keep strong school habits in place. It is not summer quite yet! Encourage your child to stay focused and take every opportunity to do his or her best in order to end the year on a positive note.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend,
Warm Regards,
Mrs. Glaab and Mrs. Braynor
