North Glendale Family Update
January 3, 2021
Happy New Year!
I hope your family had all the time you needed to reconnect, recharge and relax.
As we head back to school, please continue your diligence in monitoring for Covid symptoms and err on the side of caution. Don't forget those before school health checks and mask protocols. We will continue our diligence in school with lots of hand sanitizing, distance and masks!
Welcome to Second Semester and HAPPY 2021!

I'm also happy to meet with families if needed- please email or call to schedule this. My door is always open (figuratively right now due to Covid) and I am happy to meet with families at any time (it doesn't have to be during this week).
