RES April 3 Family Newsletter 2020-2021
Hello Families,
I hope your first week with distance learning went well and you are feeling like there is somewhat of a school routine for your children and for you as well! I wanted to take this time to say thank for your patience and understanding during this first week and thank you for all the kind words that have been sent our way. Your children mean the world to us and we want to ensure that we are doing everything we can to make this time fun and engaging. We know this is not what our actual school day is like but our teachers have done an amazing job taking a full day of school and giving your children the most essential learning they can in just 60-120 minutes each day. We also know that you are working hard and trying to find balance so please know we are here for you and your children. We love our Richmond Elementary Family and together we've GOT THIS!
Stay Safe, Stay Well, and Hope to See you Soon!
