End of the 1st Trimester!
I know it doesn't seem like it, but we are already 1/3 of the way through the school year with the completion of our first trimester today. Report cards will be coming out soon and if you have any questions in regards to them, please contact the teacher.
Just like the first trimester, we will start the second trimester in remote learning with the hopes of getting back in person. With this second attempt at remote learning, take some time to reflect on what has worked well for you and your family, and what are some things you can change to benefit your child's educational success.
I recall the start of our school year with remote learning. The phones in the office were ringing non-stop and technical issues were aplenty. Passwords, connectivity, and digital platforms were creating many issues. With our second attempt, students now know how to log in, use Google Classrooms, and submit assignments independently. They know what links to click and how to get in and out of speech, specials, and other services we provide. More students are building relationships online and getting their social-emotional fill for the day with cameras on and able to see their peers.
As a parent of three in remote learning, I can definitely relate to the struggles, but let's not forget about how far we have come. At times, it may not seem like it, but our students are growing and learning tremendously right before our eyes. We can't do it without the hard work of you in collaboration with our team, so thanks again for all you do!
Take care and stay safe!
Sincerely,
Mr. Pfenninger
