Message from Dr. Reilly
Farney Families,
The news that we will not be returning to school this year was difficult for all of us to hear. As the weeks continue, we will be sharing information about picking up items from school, returning library books, the registration process, etc. We appreciate your patience while these "new" procedures are determined by our district. We understand that every family's situation is different, so please know that we are flexible and will work with you to ensure your child's success.
Please see below for grade-level timelines for this week. Teachers get access to the materials Monday morning when they are posted online. Their goal is to send a Monday afternoon email with the timeline attached. I have been posting this newsletter on Tuesdays so that the timeline information can be included. Hopefully, you have established a routine and are finding the timelines helpful. As a reminder, they are a guide and not a comprehensive list of "to-do's." We are here to help and support student learning, so please reach out to your child's teacher. All teachers have shared posted office hours. This is a time that they are online and available for you to pop in with questions or seek guidance.
Mrs. Sykes has included her NEW read alouds for this week in the Library Lowdown section below. We are also excited to share that our Large Group teachers will also be sharing weekly videos! Encourage your child to watch the PE, ART and Music videos below to have some creative fun!
