As we move into our third month of Teaching and Learning During COVID-19, I am continually in awe of the unwavering support of our families. In reflecting on our current reality, I was reminded of a letter I read from the book The Distance Learning Playbook for Parents. The authors' words ring so true and I want to share them with you.
Most Sincerely Yours,
Michael Marincic
