Well parents, we made it through the first two weeks of school! There have been many obstacles to get here but thanks to your determination, patience, and thoughtfulness we are off to a great start. We want to say thank you for your understanding and flexibility while learning Google Meets, multiple learning apps, and lots of technical issues. We want YOU to know we have your student's best interest at heart.


We will be putting out a newsletter at the beginning of each month to help keep you informed. There is a LOT of information. Take time to read through and if you have questions please let us know.


We are here to support you and your students.
