Dear Families,
Trimester Two has gotten off to a great start! Attendance to morning lessons in option 1 has been strong, and students are enjoying having extra time during class to complete independent work with support from their teachers. Many teachers have modified homework so that children can be finished with their school day by 4:00 pm. We want families to enjoy their evenings without worrying about doing more schoolwork.
Students in Option 1 still have skill groups in the afternoons and are expected to attend. Please check your child's email and Google Classroom for a schedule. Teachers are doing a great job of sharing student schedules and reminding them when their small group time meets.
Students in Option 2a should be attending their scheduled meeting times with their 2a teacher. We have several 2a packets with Calvert materials here at El Sol for students to pick up. Please call El Sol at 337-0230 to set up an appointment to get those materials.
See below for important dates, including 2 distribution days during the week of the 14th, the Winter Break dates, and report card information.
I hope everyone has a relaxing and restful Winter Break!
Sincerely,
Dr. Wilson
