Welcome to the 20/21 school year!
This is definitely a different kind of year, many changes and new routines to get used to. It feels very good to be back at school and seeing students again! In this space I will be posting ideas and information to hopefully help answer some of the questions that will come up as the year passes. Please feel free to contact me by phone or email as needed.
