Lindsey Weekly Update
Week of April 6, 2020
Mrs. Bellan's Message
Staff resoundingly have expressed this week during our team meetings how much they are deeply missing our students. This has been hard on our staff who are used to the laughter, joy, and happiness your children bring to them.
We want to reassure you although this service delivery is by no means ideal for the age of our children, the staff is doing everything we can to make it straightforward, direct, and clear. We continue to improve as our teachers learn tricks and tools of what the technology can afford us. Thanks for sticking with us as we learn and improve.
Staff has been reaching out to connect and make contact with all families. We will continue to reach out to parents if we are noticing that your child is not completing the learning activities teachers have prioritized. If you have a circumstance that prohibits your child from accessing the breath and depth of the work, please reach out directly to your child's teacher. We will work together to prioritize and support.
We recognize that our parents have a daunting task before them maintaining the health, safety, and educational growth of your children all while fulfilling all of your other responsibilities. Please know that we are here with you each step of the way.
Best,
Meagan Bellan
