Crane Connection
Welcome Back to the 2020-21 School Year!!!
Dear Families,
First of all, I want to say I dearly miss the students and parents. We are now in week six of Distance Learning, and by now, students have had many opportunities to zoom with their classmates, friends, and teachers. Undoubtedly, there have been concerns ranging from: trouble logging in due to the internet, other family members needing space, busy lives caring for siblings, and many more. At eCademy, we are here to support you, to help in any way possible and most importantly, to educate your student. Please feel free to reach out to your teachers, the school office, Mrs. Imperial, or to me directly, if there is anything we can do better. This is a trying time for all of us, and we will get through it together.
Sincerely,
Tim Norton, Principal
Back to School Night
Back to School Night was much different this year. With all families connecting with the teachers via zoom, I want to share that we all did the best we can. Was it perfect? Absolutely not, however I want to assure you that we will continue to reach out the students and parents, especially if we find any concerns regarding attendance or missing assignments. School safety and student success are our number one priorities. Students' social, emotional, and academic well-being are our mission and our passion.

Maintain Self-Care and Support Mental Health
During COVID-19, it is essential to practice self-care to maintain physical, emotional, and mental health. Here are some recommendations.
The State Supreme Court concluded, "All educational activities carried on by public school districts, extra-curricular as well as curricular, must be without cost to the students who participate in such activities and mandatory fees for participating in such extra-curricular activities such as drama, music, and athletic competition were illegal.
