Skaggs Remote Learning
April 13-17, 2020
Note from the Principals
As we finish our third week of learning at home we want to thank you sincerely for your hard work. Now that we are collaborating in a new and different way, we so appreciate our home and school connection. Please continue to provide us frequent feedback on the successes and struggles you are experiencing each day. We would appreciate you completing our Skaggs Family Feedback Form.
You should have received a Parent Letter for Pathblazer from your child's teacher this week. Our district invested in finding an appropriate online program to target differentiated instruction for our students. We look forward to seeing students grow through this targeted instructional tool.
Spirit Week (April 13-April 17)
Even though we are distanced, it can't stop us from having fun TOGETHER! We will have our spirit week next week, virtually! Details of what to wear each day posted further down in this newsletter. We will be looking for children participating during our Zoom meetings. We also encourage you to post any pics of your child dressed up on our FB page.
Congratulations to the students that moved on to council level of PTA Reflections! These shining Stars were recognized through Plano ISD PTA Reflections Live FB event.
