Dear Pawsome Loring Families,
The last few weeks have felt a bit like April Fool's Day over and over again for me. Who knows was April 1st will bring for us? I know there is a lot of information coming from a lot of directions as we navigate through this new way. The information stream is steady and in many cases the direction shifts with each new day. We are trying to provide all families with accurate information without overloading your inboxes.
Please know that our whole Loring staff is dedicated to supporting our students and families during this time. The connection to our teachers/staff and our school to your home is our priority. Each of our staff are developing their own stride when connecting, we will continue to strengthen this continuity. Please let us know if your child or family needs anything. We are all in this together.
Best,
Sara

Our Loring PTO Facebook group is a closed group and could be a great way to stay connected to our Loring School and Sudbury community. During this time, it could be an additional way to learn information and stay connected to our school. Here is the link to join.

Some Activities To Try Out!
Bren Bataclan's Online Drawing Demo Series
Check out the email we recently received from our friend Bren Bataclan.
Hello Everyone,
I hope all of you are having fun social distancing :) Speaking of that, teachers and parents recently asked me to give drawing demos online as daily activities for students/kids while being indoors. I took their suggestion and I have been recording my drawing sessions for the past week now. Below is today's episode and I also included what's available so far. Oh yeah, please feel free to suggest items to mash-up on future shows on the comments section of the YouTube videos.

Incoming students in Kindergarten through grade 6 living less than two miles from their districted schools are eligible for fee-based transportation, based on space availability.
Transportation fees can be paid online through the MySchoolBucks.com portal with a credit or debit card. Please note, there is a processing fee of 3.95% assessed at check out, and is noted in the program fee line. You may also pay by check, payable to Town of Sudbury and mailed to:
