Back to School 2020-2021: Part 2
August 14, 2020
A note from me...
I don't have a lot of words this afternoon. Lots of meetings and sharing of our return to school here at Jerome. I am grateful to those students and families that attend any of my meetings. Below you will find recordings of those meetings if you were unable to attend. In addition, you will see invites for more meetings next week. We will continue to have weekly meetings throughout September.
We are excited to have the teachers back in the building next week and we will be hard at work preparing quality learning experiences for all our students. We are so grateful for your support and I am so looking forward to seeing everyone soon.
Please enjoy your weekend!
With gratitude,
Mike
