MATHEWS e-News
We Are 'All-In' this Together!
We hope our e-News finds you and your family well.
This is not the "Learning Link" e-News for next week's lessons.
We have information to share both from Mathews and from our district that we want you to have readily available.
Since we have a lot to share with you, we are sending you an e-News today regarding campus and district announcements.
On Sunday at 3:00 we will send our Academic "Learning Links" to you. Our goal is help our families navigate the "Learning Links" more easily without additional information within the newsletter.
Please know... We will work together with you to help our students, your children continue to grow in their studies and in their social emotional well-being. If you have any questions or need to visit, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are all here for you!
With grace and trust in one another we are 'All-In' this together.
Take care of you and yours and in so doing, we take care of each other.
