BURRO BROADCAST
News & Information from the Principal 9/20/20
A Fantastic First Couple of Weeks!
- Smiling eyes! Students and staff are genuinely happy to be back on campus and around each other again. While we can't see smiles on each other's faces, we can certainly recognize each other's smiles in our eyes!
- Respect! I've been so impressed by the level of respect everyone has for each other and our new expectations. Yes, we are still adjusting but, overall, students and staff are being respectful of our new rules and understand our need to continually assess and revise as needed.
- Recess! This is a new concept for our MS and HS students and it only took a couple of days for students to relax and actually play during this time! I've witnessed older students including younger ones in games of football, students inventing new games, running races, a few bloody noses caused by balls (Yay for being kids again!), and time to breathe without masks. If anyone has recess equipment (extra balls) you'd like to donate, please let me know! All equipment is sanitized between recess groups.
Just in case...REMOTE LEARNING EXPECTATIONS!
Our Building Leadership Team (a team of teacher-leaders) helped create a document that outlines the remote learning schedule and expectations for everyone involved in helping to make remote learning successful. Please take some time to review the document entirely so you are prepared. Reviewing this in advance will help create a smooth transition to remote learning if it is necessary.
Help Keep South Park Safe, Healthy, and Happy!
