Warren Weekly Newsletter
June 1- 5
From Mrs. Wilkins
This week teachers are looking forward to "meeting" with your child/children. It's been quite the year! Going into remote learning our Warren goal was for families to feel supported. The conversations between you and your child's teacher are a way for us to thank you for navigating this unprecedented road with us. Most importantly, it's a way for your child's teacher to tell your child they will miss them and to celebrate their growth this year.
It's a privilege to have the honor of educating your child/children. Know that I will continue to send updates during the summer regarding our next school year. If you know your family will be moving during the summer please send me an e-mail.
This week marks the conclusion of classroom lessons provided by your child's teacher. Below you will find lessons provided by our outstanding specialists. Your child will have access to their classroom Clever page and links within their Clever page until August 1.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Wilkins
