Foskett Ranch Elementary Newsletter
May 20, 2020
Note from the Principal
We are winding down the school year, and after this week two weeks of school remain. I know distance learning and packets are becoming more challenging as the days get sunnier and warmer. I really appreciate all you are doing to assist your children during these last weeks. This newsletter includes some fun activities to provide breaks during distance learning. Check them out - the ideas are courtesy of the company (Smore) that we use to publish our weekly newsletters.
We have planned two more days for you to drop off packets and return Chromebooks/chargers that were checked during the school closure. Please mark your calendars for Wednesday, June 3rd between 1:00 and 4:00 PM and Thursday, June 4th between 8:00 AM and noon. Chromebooks/chargers will be returned to Foskett Ranch.
As always, I appreciate all you are doing to support your children, the teachers and Foskett Ranch.
Sincerely,
Kelly Castillo
