Hillsdale Herald
Hillsdale Elementary School, April 2020
Check out our morning announcements each day!
We are here for you!
We know that remote learning is NOT how we all want to do school, but we are so appreciative of your patience and understanding while teachers are learning new ways to teach your children and managing their own families at home. Please know we are working every day to get and keep our students engaged in a meaningful way.
If you need more ideas, there are a lot here: https://wcasdk5extensions.weebly.com/
Please know there are people and resources to help you, if you need it. We don't know where or to what extent the virus might spread, but we can offer comfort and reassurance to our children as we take care of ourselves, offer factual information based on the child’s needs, build emotional connections and routines, and encourage positive preventative measures.
For more assistance, please reach out to your child’s teacher, Mrs. DeWitt, Mrs. Ortiz, or Mrs. Merten!
