WHS/SMS Newsletter
March 20, 2020
Hello Students,
I trust you are doing well and doing all those things you need to do to keep yourself and others healthy, social distancing, hand washing and the like. It’s also important to take the time to reflect on how much you are helping your folks out. Are you performing tasks around the house without being asked to do so? Are you looking for things that once completed will make the lives of your family members a bit easier, brighter or just more enjoyable? Take this time to learn new ways to learn, different ways to gather information, explore the world: Including the world online, the world inside of books, the world outside your door and the world between your ears.
Monday kicks off our first day of Distance Learning. We chose the name Distance Learning because of the ability for you and your teachers to interact with one another regarding lessons and other items which may come up with your schooling in the future. We can all converse with one another via email, google classroom, other social school media outlets, google classroom and the phone. We are here to assist you with your lessons, so please, take advantage of our digital presence.
We are just a click away.
Have Fun and Enjoy,
Mr. Macri
