Dear John Wetten Families,
It's wonderful to have the students back in school! Even though they are not in the building, we still feel that beginning of the year excitement. The time spent with Distance Learning can still be exhausting. Students and adults need to build stamina as they adjust to a Distance Learning schedule and day. Please know that this is normal, and they may seem tired at times. This is due to all of the different learning that is occurring. We want to give everyone some grace in this new way of learning.
Please note that we are distributing materials for the Teacher-Led Distance Learning this Wednesday through Friday, the schedule is below. We will be distributing - reading textbooks, whiteboards with a marker and eraser, beginning of the year materials, and some teacher items as well.
In Partnership,
Michael Clutter
