Weekly Updates
Happy Tuesday, Dragon Families! We hope that everyone is enjoying the weather! Can you believe today is the first day of fall? How fast time is passing even in our new virtual learning environment! We will be wrapping up our testing in the next two weeks! Thank you to all our parents for helping with technological support getting our students on their assessments.
Here are the reminders that you need to know for this week:

- We want to introduce you to a new position here at Anthony Burns. We now have a Parent Liason and her name is Mrs. Blankenship. Her role this year is to help support families. She can help families get needed supplies, resources, and navigate the virtual environment. Feel free to contact her for anything you might need.

Supporting Virtual Learners - This is a VDOE virtual learning support page with information for parents on how to best support their virtual learners. I have had several parents reach out about how difficult the transition to virtual learning has been for their families. This may be helpful for some of them.
September is suicide prevention month and I would like to share some resources for our parents and teachers. Let me know what you think.
