A Message from Mr. Zeck
A special greeting to all of those adults out there who "mother" our students in all of their ways. Whether you biologically and/or emotionally fill that space for our students we thank you for the role that you place in shape in the young lives of our students.
We are so close to the end we can all feel it. It help[s that the weather has allowed us to stay inside, but once it gets nice it is going to be tough to wrangle our online learners. The end is in sight and we already have students who are wrapping up classes and close to being done. So keep pushing forward.
We are still need to hear from many of you regarding key things including whether or not you will return next year, signing up for onsite testing on 5/11 and surveys. Please take the time to complete this items to offer your thoughts and registrations.
Have a great weekend and great week.
Mr. Zeck and your TVA Team
